Argh!
He's just to have to be called Baby for the rest of his life, that's acceptable, right?

Hit me with some ideas on boy names please. I'm not going to give any criteria for now, only that it has to go with the surname Lee.

I think a first name with 2 or more syllables would be perfect with your surname - as long as there is no rhyme (ie. Frankie)
My faves
-Daniel
-Jason
-Patrick

Thanks Hen, I'm getting nervous now!
You're right, I don't want to rush in to a name just so I can announce it. It's a big deal that it must feel right for me, you know that feeling you get when you just think "yeah, that's perfect"?
Maybe I'm just finding it hard because I've not seen him yet. Hopefully something will jump out at us once he's born.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, have managed to add a few more to my list :)

Roseberry good luck for tomorrow.

I desperately wanted my baby to have a name before leaving the delivery room. As it happened had a difficult birth and DH said what about X? (a name we'd discussed but he'd never agreed to any) and in my condition I agreed. I just didn't feel I could change it after saying yes and have regretted it ever since.

So my advice would be don't be panicky, take your time together and be happy with your choice.

See I really like Zachary but whenever I say it as a possible name it's met with Confused Hmm faces, I know it shouldn't but that does put me off it.
Love Elliot but we used it as a middle name for DS.

A lot of the rest suggested have been vetoed by DP or myself. I should really stop being such a fussy bugger!

With such a surname any long, strong and beautful name will sound great! I don't think short names like Joe, Mike, etc will be as good with Lee as long (Alexander, Sebastian, Tristan)

fanjodisfunction · 04/07/2014 15:56

How about Jonathan?

fanjodisfunction · 04/07/2014 15:55

The siblings of jacobs I know are charlie, benjamin, and jonah.

Elliot

Others we considered were:
Nathan
Leon
Hayden / Aidan
Joseph
Christian
Zachary / Zac

I also like (but can't use):
Simon
Isaac

The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest ...

RobinSparkles · 04/07/2014 12:33

I don't think you could have Frankie. He might end up being Frank Lee (Frankly).

I love James for a boy. James Lee sounds nice.

Others that would go with Lee:

George
Samuel
Harrison

MummyBeerest · 04/07/2014 12:33

Sam.

Sam Lee sounds awesome and badass.

BlueChampagne · 04/07/2014 12:25

Patrick (NN Paddy)
Marcus
Francis (NN Frankie)
Lewis
Laurence

We had 2 DD's but I liked these for a boy...

Samuel
James
Nathan / Nathaniel
Sebastian

William
Wilbur
Zach
Bailey (but clearly you can't use that one Wink)

Legionofboom · 04/07/2014 11:31

I agree with Rachel234 about Freddily and I think you need to avoid anything that ends in -ie for that reason.

Elijah is nice but I'm not sure about Eli Lee.

How about ...

Caleb
Ethan
Daniel

Jacob is DS1 and I love that on him.
Elijah was used by a close friend a few weeks ago, Freddie is my favourite but DP hates it. A lot of other names have been used too closely to us as well and I'd feel a bit cheeky nicking them! I don't mind Oliver though.

Still not loving anything though iykwim. He really is going to just be called Baby!

If dc2 turned out to be a boy, our list was
Max
Zach/ Zachary
Jacob
Ryan
Oliver
Callum

rachel234 · 04/07/2014 10:47

Freddie Lee sounds like an adverb, freddily.

januaryjam · 04/07/2014 09:51

I love Freddie and Elijah, I think they sound fine with Lee if that's the only thing putting you off them?

Otherwise I really like Rowan and Joseph (although would likely be shortened to Joe Lee which perhaps doesn't work!)

RoseberryTopping · 04/07/2014 08:54

We do have a little shortlist but I'm not in love with anything on it. It's
Dominic
Henry
Theodore
Joshua
Rowan

DP loves names like Aaron (he wants it pronounced Air On), Thomas, Joseph etc but I find them a bit boring. They're nice enough though.

I prefer names like Freddie, Jesse, Elijah but we can't use them. Lots of nice names have been used by close friends and family as well.

I'd like some ideas on other names I might not have thought of. I don't like names like Cassius or Arlo though, I've got quite a common accent and feel a bit pretentious using something like that.

Sebastian

rachel234 · 04/07/2014 08:39

With Lee, I'd avoid names or nicknames ending in -ie or -ee, or very short names.

I like
Reuben Lee
Quentin Lee
Nathan Lee
Jonathan Lee
Dominic Lee

fanjodisfunction · 04/07/2014 07:30

Give us a clue on the names you kinda of like.
