Help! It's a boy!

aroha77 · 31/05/2017 21:17

I'm 33 weeks and have just found out it's a boy! Thought I was keeping an open mind but I'm so surprised!! And we don't have any boy's names!

Older sister is called Olive which is difficult to 'match' with!

Any ideas

(Everyone who hated Indigo Joan on my previous thread can be glad to know that I can't use it Grin)

Olive and Hudson

I think it needs to be something vintagey if you want it to "go" with Olive. Something like Arthur, Raymond, Reggie, Frederick, Sidney, Stanley...

If you like Indigo for a girl, perhaps you'd like the Spanish name 'Inigo' for your son?

My great aunt is an Olive. Her husband was Jim (James). Her brother is Thomas. Sisters, May and Francis. Not sure if that's at all helpful!

I think Olive matches plenty. Could have trad, modern, biblical, whacky ;) just trying a few out and Olive goes well with most things!

Olive and William
Olive and Jasper
Olive and Isaac
Olive and Zed
Olive and Innes

Not exactly recommending any of the above but I'm sure you don't need to worry too much about "matching"
