Please tell me your loveliest boy names

Just that really!

I have done something I swore I never would and convinced myself that we are having a boy, (before we've reached the stage where someone might be able to confirm that at a scan).

Anyway, we have a list of lovely girl names, but can't agree on any boy names. We both liked Matthew and Christopher for a while, but we've both gone off Matthew, (as Matt Surname sounds horrible), and I've gone off Christopher, (don't like Chris).

Some of my favourites, (vetoed by DH) are:

Gabriel
Rufus
Hamish
Angus
Rowan
Fergus
Solomon
Hugh
Jude

PS also love Gabriel and Jude from original list!

Dixiestamp · 01/08/2017 05:03

I like Elijah, Jago, Harri, Steffan and Oliver (quite eclectic!).

I have a Roman, which I wouldn't describe as a 'lovely' name but you might like it too.

My other son's name is on the list I posted too.

Good to hear people's favourites, even if we don't have the same taste Smile.

Love Rory and have added it to the list, though DH definitely vetoed it last time I mentioned it. I like Lorcan, but it doesn't sound good in the accent where we live. I also like Sonny, but we have a surname which ends in son so it doesn't sound great.

Lots of your vetoed names were on my list. Not religious but I seem to like biblical names: Gabriel, Solomon, Ezra, Samuel, Saul, Joseph, Elijah.

My DS is Reuben James.

All your names are quite posh though so I suspect we don't have the same taste :)

I love Matthew and think Matthew James sounds lovely together [probably not helpful] Grin
