Just found out we're having a boy! I'm in shock, as one of 6 girls I never thought we'd have a boy in the family! So excited!
My mum is one of 4 girls, her mum is one of 7 girls.
We already have one girl, 3 of my sisters have at least 2 girls..
This is such a big deal, I'm honoured!!
What would you name him? I feel it needs to be the most masculine name ever haha!
Ps tell me about your lovely sons, I'm so excited to have my own!

I've just had a boy in very similar circumstances so congratulations! Thanks to mumsnetters he's called Gregory Oliver. Xx

:) Exciting!! I have 2 boys (nearly 15 and 14 now) and they are the light of my life and always have been. They are laid back, lovely, kind, handsome, funny and loving. I am sure girls are great too but I can't compare as we are an all boy household.

What type of names do you like?

Traditional/Celtic/modern/Surnamey?

How about:
Dexter
Cormac
Jack
Brodie
Andrew
Keir
Magnus
Patrick
Joe
John

All quite manly but differing styles.

I'd choose something top 20 traditional like William, George, Benjamin. To me these are 'strong' names. But you can name him anything and he'll still be wonderful, I bet :-)
