As the title suggests really

I'm 36 weeks pregnant with my first baby and DP and I cannot agree on any boys names - not a single one

Girls names aren't an issue we have a shortlist - Anna, Clara etc......

I love the name Robbie but DP hates it and his only suggestion has been Benjamin which I really don't like Confused

I like quiet short, kind of classic names which don't date as such and can't really be shortened to a nn. Nothing too modern or popular - easy peasy I don't know why cant agree Hmm

Any suggestions welcome

Scottish names I like are Hamish and Angus. I also like Nicholas and Louis.

We were the opposite. We had a boys name chosen from when I was 5 months pregnant, but couldn't agree on a girls name. I really liked a name, but no one else did, not even my dh.
We had a boy, so it didn't matter in the end anyway. But if we have a girl in the future, I'm not sure what will happen, as I still like the same girls name..
Good luck. I hope you can come to a decision.

Hhhhhmmm Fraser?

I quite like Boyd, Ross and Innes - don't "love" any of them tho

This is so difficult! Nearly as hard as 9 months without wine Grin

What about Fraser?

I was the same with DC1, we had the perfect girls name picked out. Could not agree on a boys name at all, DH vetoed every one I liked and couldn’t come up with any he liked!! Fortunately we found a name at the 11th hour (2 days before my waters broke) so of course, we had a boy 😂😂

I love Liam but am reluctant to use for reasons I won't go into. Not keen on Henry but warming to Harry or Harris

David is nice but loads in both sides

I'd quiet like a Scottish name but not Andrew as this is DP
