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.

Yes I quite like Tobias, Nn Toby. I also like Elliott which funnily enough is DP surname, and will be his surname too, so I guess it's already part of his name Grin

Benjamin is lovely! Was one of my favourite boy names, but me being me I suggested it to my step sister a few year ago and she used it for her DS. Didn't really picture myself having children at this time though!

I felt exactly the same the dreamt I was chasing a little blonde boy on a beach. His name was Benjamin and that was that! He's Benji mostly and we chose Arlo as a middle name. I love his name xx

Your girl names are longer than your boy list - almost all three syllables. Maybe think of some 3+ syllable boys names?

Julian

These were on my most current list, but we're having a girl (and I'm struggling for the perfect name!)
