Found out we are having a boy and are super excited but have no clue where to start with names!!
Our DD name is ranked in the 300s so looking for something that isn’t too popular. Her name falls into the ‘old lady’ category so nothing too modern. Our chosen girls name was Mabel.
Help us, wise MNetters!

I met someone today who had a baby last year. She called him Bellamy. I thought that was the most fantastic name. I've never heard it as a first name, but because it's a surname it's not too out-there. Also it sounds like an old man name! I love it.
Puts me off that there's no obvious nickname...Bell is a bit dodgy!

Names I like are:
Wilfred (Fred)
Albert (Bertie)
Rowan

Leonardo (Leo)
Stanley (Stan)
Campbell (Cam)

Harry
Eric
Augustus (Gus)
Tobias (Toby)
Percival (Percy)
Bertram
Dillon
Matteo

I had boy/girl twins and really wanted Rowan for at least one of them! Not to be though... lovely name.

Some great names! A lot of which have been vetoed! 😩 Particulary sad that Rupert, Milo and Jasper have been.
Came across Rowan today. Opinions?
What do you do if you just don’t love any names???

Edwin. I really want an Edwin so keep suggesting it 😂I have girls.

Michael.

This will be shortened to Mike.

A timeless name and not the latest trend.
