If you're expecting a boy, what are you calling him? Or have you got a shortlist?

We are team yellow but if it’s a boy I think we’ll go with Theodore (Teddy) or Frederick (Freddie) - ha!

PopadomPointer · 08/01/2018 20:44

If dh has no input it'll either be
Clwyd
or
Aron

But we're team yellow so it could be a moot point!Grin

WishICouldThinkOfSomethinWitty · 08/01/2018 15:49

I love Oscar but it's been Vetoed.
Harry (Starting to go off it though)
James
George
Eddie
Alex
Tobias/ Toby NN
Luca

Boy names are so difficult. I love them until I hear it a lot then go off them!

LittleFryingPan · 08/01/2018 14:16

We've always said a boy would be Spencer (old family name on DHs side) but had a girl and he's not quite ready the try for number 2 yet

BertrandRussell · 08/01/2018 14:13

If I had had another one he would have been Edward Lawrence Michael or Isaac Peter Michael

lifechangesforeverinjuly · 08/01/2018 14:10

Theodore James Llewelyn

We don't know if we're having a boy yet but have always had his name picked out.

Girls names are another matter entirely.

bluechameleon · 08/01/2018 14:05

Don't know what we are having but our boy's name is Benjamin. Also on the shortlist were Robert and Henry.

dementedma · 08/01/2018 14:04

interesting to see Raphael on so many lists. Biblical names appearing strong, still lots of Reubens and Noahs.

Dc 1 would have been James, but she was a girl
DC2 - same
By the time DS had come along, my bloody sister had used James for her DC3!
So, I wanted Simon and DH wanted Max. Thus, DS is called Joseph.Smile

Marcus
Connor

Which love right now

AllMyFriendsAreHeathens · 01/01/2018 23:24

My son was born in November. We really struggled with names, despite knowing we were expecting a boy. Some we liked were:

Jude
Harry
Greer
Jack
Louis
Shaye

When he finally arrived, we went with a name we hadn't even considered as it just suits him so much. Actually, now that I think about it, the exact same happened when we named our daughter.

PenelopePickle · 01/01/2018 22:46

We are going with Rex, second choice was Barnaby/Barney

PinkAvocado · 01/01/2018 22:45

I love:
Thomas
Joseph
Gabriel
Raphael
Nicholas
Alexander
Hamish

pipilangstrumpf · 01/01/2018 22:38

Quentin
Raphael
Marcus

Saz1995 · 01/01/2018 21:54

I have a little one called Oscar

My shortlist was
Hugh/Hugo
Oliver
Oscar

UnitedKungdom · 01/01/2018 21:49

In order of my preference

Harry
Sam
Freddie
Oliver

MikeUniformMike · 01/01/2018 15:19

Myson

PinkFlamingo888 · 01/01/2018 14:54

Gabriel, Arthur or Jude

laramumofboys · 31/12/2017 12:42

We have Alexander and Joseph x

MissYeti · 30/12/2017 19:58

We both love Theodore (will be Theodore Stephen Martin to honour both his grandads) but our shortlist was:
Oliver
Milo
Stanley
Theodore

Vodkafairy75 · 29/12/2017 20:19

We have settled on Noah (still have a couple of months to change our minds though!)

Other names I liked was
Jacob
Isaac
Aston

MrsBonato · 29/12/2017 17:20

Victor
Hector
Wilfred
Frederick
Otto
Otis
Alistair
Fergus

This would be if DH had no choice at all on names. If he did then probably Frederick would win (Fred as a NN)

McTufty · 29/12/2017 17:14

Think we will have either Benjamin or Daniel.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 29/12/2017 17:12

Our shortlist is:
Lewis
Anthony
Zachary
Marcus
Rowan
Nathan
Dominic
Leon

Also like Amos and Cornelius but they've been vetoed!
