Love NO boy names :(

24 weeks pregnant with dc1. Before finding out the sex I had a huge list of girl names and no boy names at all. I just can't find any boy names that I like, never mind love Hmmgirl names are so beautiful and easy to shortlist, why is finding a boy name so hard! Sad

Some boy names that I think are OK
-Leo
-Toby
-Freddie
-Arthur
-Harrison

Still all seem so dull to me. Thinking of using a name that could be used for a boy or a girl. Suggestions on this could be helpful.

Leo and Toby are two of my favourites!

I also like:
Max (prefer Maxim to Maximilian)
Eli / Elijah
Ezra

But I would vote for Toby Smile

Benedict? Close to Benjamin but different enough.
Dexter
Maximilian
Francis (unisex but this is the male spelling)
Taylor (also unisex)

Also the same. Between DH and I there is only one name we like, and it's...James. Ho hum. We are really struggling!

I'm 24 weeks as well and feeling similar to you. We seem to have settled on Arthur Joseph at the moment but I don't love it.

Elliott is my all time favourite boys name, also love Cameron.

phoebe2016 · 20/10/2016 15:42

I absolutely love Bear. If I do have a boy then that shall be his name :)

groovygreenwichgirl · 20/10/2016 15:40

Oh if you want unisex names what about Ellis? I know a girl and a boy called this.

Gideon
Gabriel
Malachi
Donovan
Levison

Madison is definitely a girls name .

groovygreenwichgirl · 20/10/2016 15:07

Love Leo, Toby and Arthur from your list.

What do you think about: Theo, Noah, Jonah, Ezra, Caleb?

hoddtastic · 20/10/2016 13:50

Madison is a girls name and IMO it's a bit meh.

Harrison is awful.

I was the same when we had ds2.
We found some names that we agreed that we liked that were ok but nothing that we really wanted. We had a girls name pretty easily. In the end we found a name about 4 weeks before he was born by going through top 100 names in U.K , USA and Australia.
When we had ds1 and dd we found the names that we wanted straight away, so I was starting to panic a bit. Best of luck!!! Xxxx

Throwing in the last 2 to highlight the difference between the longer and the shorter to see how you feel.

I like two: Jasper and Greyson. And I'm not in love with those. Going to be very hard naming baby!

I find myself watching credits of films and programs to see if I like any names Smile

Can you not use Madison as a boys name?

Pipilangstrumpf · 20/10/2016 08:39

Tobias is great or how about Quentin or Dominic?
