Hi, we have a 1-month-old son and have yet to find a perfect name :( I feel absolutely terrible about it... I like relatively classic names and DH likes more modern; I have yet to find one which suits both of our tastes and I'm wondering if you could help? :)
My favourite:
Charles, but I agreed to go with just Charlie (for DH) and this was his name for a little while...
Edward - we liked the NN Eddie, but DH said he would rather have just Eddy and that was a no from me!
Matthew, I adore Matty for a little boy and Matt for when he's older (all the family love this too)
Joseph - Joey suits him, IMHO, but DH doesn't like it...
Zack/Zach/Zac - DH would like just Zack (no way, it doesn't suit him at all) I liked Zachary and Isaac (NN Zach/Zac) - Isaac suits him, Zachary not so much!
Benjamin/Bennett
Alexander
Oliver - adore this, but know millions
Frederick - NN Freddie
Patrick - not a fan of any NNs...
DH likes:
Boston
Lincoln
Hayden
Lewis (I actually like this a lot, but not sure it suits him, sigh...)
Alfie
Leo
Jay
Kyle/Kai

Like Jacob. Lewis/louis is very popular and often get the nn Lew

What about Jacob? Would suit dh's jay choice if you also like Jacob!

TimeGoesBy31 · 29/12/2015 12:06

Thank you :) the problem is, we can't really agree on the names I've written in the thread, so was looking for some suggestions!

buddhasbelly · 29/12/2015 12:04

Matthew gets my vote, congrats on your son!
