Due in September, no idea what I'm having, girl's name is picked, not a sodding clue what name I'd pick if I have a boy though Blush

Traipsed my way through many a website but please share with me your favourite boy's name so I can -hopefully- come across one I haven't seen yet! Thanks collective mind of mumsnet Wink

My two boys are Samuel and Frederick, so of course they're my favourites. But others that were on the list for DC4, if she'd been a boy, were:

  • Harland
  • Oscar
  • Reuben
  • Raymond
  • Watson
  • James
  • Fraser

Thanks guys keep them coming!

@fruityb you and I have very similar tastes but I'm finding they won't work with surname or DP has vetoed 😭

My eldest son's name, Kit.

I have always loved it. Finding a second one we love just as. I have for our third baby another boy has been tough. He will be called Corin.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 20/07/2017 18:03

Not telling because they're my sons' names and they were bloody hard to decide upon Grin Naming boys sucks. So many gorgeous girls names, it feels like there's 10x the options!!

2 perfect names we cannot use, are Nicholas and Joel.... ah! Perfect!

lydiangel83 · 20/07/2017 18:03

I love Raphael but husband vetoed. Also love Franco which has also been vetoed. We have no other names so will watch this group with interest!!
