I'm starting to panic a bit now. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and we still don't even have a short list of baby names we both like. I'm worried we'll wind up just picking a name for the sake of it because our time is up. We know we're having a boy. I like a traditional name but not ones that are overly used and overly popular. We like a strong name too. Any we have liked have already been taken by family/friends. Any suggestions mumsnetters? Some examples of ones we liked but were taken or are just too popular,

Oliver
Charlie
Thomas
Joshua
Edward (NN Teddy)

We do like maximus too which isn't taken but whenever we mention this to family or friends it gets laughed at a bit, people don't realise they can give too much of an opinion clearly.

@lovelyjubilly thank you for responding! My step daughter is called Samantha, NN Sammy so I feel Samuel is too close to that. Love all of the others but they are all taken by family or friends.

Maximus is a lovely name! Once you choose it people would stop laughing.. People are less rude/honest once the name is chosen and the child is born.
