I'm having a boy - name help!

bubalou · 2015-01-20T19:11:56+00:00

So we're having a boy. [smile] We have 6 year old DS - Charlie already (very happy to be having a little brother). Really stuck for names. I like names that aren't too popular (yes I know Charlie is popular [smile]) or too unusual. Nothing hippy or weird and nothing posh and long. We like - Max, Jacob and that's pretty much it. DH vetoes everything I like. [confused] Help please MN gurus.

DH likes Freddie and so do I but somebody too close to us called their boy Freddie less than a year ago.

Typical!

Sounds like your DH is set on Max or Jacob.

Who suggested Charlie you or him?
