So I have a daughter called Belle and due a baby boy in August.
Me and my partner are at a dead end about names we both agree on 100%
We did pick bishop but after a lot of people saying it’s stupid or saying ‘bashing the bishop’ is a rude saying I’ve kinda went off that name and like Bennet more but my partner wants Bishop!
These are some other names I like
Hunter
Oakley
Harrison
Mason
Blake

Help me!!!

YourWanMajella clearly op and her Dh like surnames as first names.

Absolutely love the name Blake.

Belle & Blake sound so good together too!

ErrolTheDragon · 04/04/2018 23:09

Why would your partner want to call your child Bishop? Doesn't he know it is a religious title?Confused

Harrison and Blake are fine; I've not come across bennet as a first name but it sounds ok.

How about Thatcher? I have been watching old episodes of Greys Anatomy and have decided I would call my son Thatcher (I have 3DD and am having no more!)

YourWanMajella · 04/04/2018 22:21

Couldn't you look at some actual first names? What you have there is a list of surnames.

BunnyEars1 · 04/04/2018 22:17

Please don't use Bishop, it's not you who have to live with it!

You obviously like surname, names-

Carter
Cole
Clay
Parker
Taylor
Preston

I quite like Ben(n)et and Oakley (which is odd, as I always think I don't like surnamey names).

TinoTheArtisticMouse · 02/04/2018 14:00

I presume that your partner is an Alien fan?

Threeandabit · 02/04/2018 12:54

Random fact - You can't use the name Bishop, in a least some parts of Australia! Shock

I like Oakley.
Bram

ProfFlitwick · 02/04/2018 11:47

No to Bishop here. If you like Blake and Bennet, what about:
Blaine
Alistair
Emmet

DarkRoomDarren · 02/04/2018 11:39

List not loose!

DarkRoomDarren · 02/04/2018 11:38

I love Bennett! I had it on my loose for dc2 along with;

Marcus
Fergus
Wilfred
Spencer
Vincent

I also like Harrison and Oakley. Similar names; Jackson or Grayson?

Jaytee38 · 28/03/2018 02:38

Belle and Sebastian go well Grin

octoberfarm · 28/03/2018 02:20

If you like Bennett, have you considered Bentley?

mumgointhroughtorture · 28/03/2018 01:59

Carter
Bobby
Cole
Lennon
Harry
Eli (jah)

I personally think Fletcher is cool .

Dixiestampsagain · 28/03/2018 01:47

I’d go for Harrison (well, I already have!)

BigPinkBall · 27/03/2018 22:19

None of them are names I’d choose personally and I think a lot will depend on your surname, is it short or long?

but here’s what sprung to mind when I saw your names in case that helps:

Hunter - wellies
Oakley - sunglasses
Harrison - Ford
Mason - jars
Blake -
Bishop - what!? That’s not a name!
Bennet - Should that be spelled Bennett?

LoveInTokyo · 27/03/2018 22:09

“All the names in your list are surnames. How about looking at a list of first names?”

^ THIS.

pilates · 27/03/2018 22:06

Not to my taste but if I had to choose one it would be Harrison

User27839494 · 27/03/2018 21:44

I think maybe I’m the weird one here but Bennet just makes me think of the saying ‘Gordon Bennett!’-but I love a nana phrase!😂
