I love the names
Elijah
Isiah
Jonah
Rupert
Atticus

My partner likes
George (one of our ds middle name 🙄)
Gabriel (rhymes with another ds name 🙄)
Philip (this does not go with any of our other children’s names at all)
Thor (it’s okay)

After much debate We settled on Stanley for him to say 8 weeks on that he’s changed his mind. We’ve spent a good hour or 2 going through names today and we just can’t agree. We had to stop as he says my ideas were ridiculous but his are even more so to me!

Any idea of a name that might suit both our tastes? 🙈

Ok so Old Testament names then Grin

Your DH's suggestions would not go AT ALL!

I met a "Zeke" short for Ezekiel at a baby group. Although maybe not an option as you already have a Zeb.

How about...
Ethan
Ezra
Isaac
Jacob (Jake)
Joel
Joshua
Jude
Levi
Reuben
Saul
Seth
Simon
Tobias (Toby)
Zachary

I love Old Testament names for boys (my son's name is in the above list).

Moses
Jude
Harrison
Robson

Noah, Zebedee, Asa and Abel
I named Zeb and he named Abel (sons of anarchy fan).

I like old names but that aren’t hugely popular. There weren’t any Noah's 16 years ago when he was named.

I don’t feel like we have long left to choose a name 😬

Oh dear Confused

So you have an Asa, what are your other DCs called?

It seems that he likes pretty classic names (apart from Thor Grin) whereas you like slightly more unusual ones - yours aren't hugely "out there", though, and while a couple are not to my taste I don't think there is anything hugely controversial in either list. I'm sure you will be able to find something.

Atm my favourite boy's name is Ivo.
We can make other suggestions but it would be helpful to know your other DCs names to get a sense of what you managed to agree on!

We have an Asa :)
I love Evan but know a little girl with the name so my partner can’t see it as a boys name.

I have a feeling this baby may not have a name either 🤣😂

My mum said had I been a boy, I probably still wouldn't have a name, 47 years later! Grin They just could not agree on a boy's name!

I love Thor (Thorus), because I know one. He's in his 50's and just a wonderful man. He always gets compliments on his name. How about...

Evan
Hudson
Hayden
Devin
Asa
Xander
