We still have three months to go before our baby boy is born. I was convinced it was a girl, so the boys list is starting from scratch and it's so hard!!!

DP and I have different tastes. I want Lysander, he wants something more common.

Please tell me what you think and make any suggestions!

Percy (I love, family name, but it's very marmite)
Freddie (short for something - not keen on Frederick but want a proper name for BC)
Sebastian (DP likes, I'm a bit meh and don't like Seb)
Caspar
Louis

Thanks

I only like Caspar. How about Quentin?

MerryInthechelseahotel · 20/06/2020 20:55

Louis is by far the best imho.

Geordie (pet form of George)
Gregory
Gabriel

I don’t love any of them

How about Rupert?

LuluJakey1 · 20/06/2020 20:45

What about:
Isaac
Guy
Hugo/Hugh
Lennie (Lennard)
Alistair
Lucien
Benedict
Dominic

Percy - Percy Pig, so no.
Freddie - ok but overly used
Sebastian - not keen
Caspar - nope
Louis - best out of the names you have but a little ‘meh’

LuluJakey1 · 20/06/2020 20:41

Louis

I like Sebastian and Freddie(I would go for Alfred) . Boys names are hard, I have 3 boys and it was so difficult!

BlusteryLake · 20/06/2020 20:37

Percy sounds a bit cartoonish/children's book character. If you like Caspar, how about also Jasper, Seth or Christian?

IggyAce · 20/06/2020 20:34

I like Sebastian and Caspar.
How about:
Nathaniel
Lucian
Laurence

ShyTown · 20/06/2020 20:33

I really like:
Freddie - could be short for Alfred if you’re not keen on Frederick?
Caspar
Louis
I think Percy is awful and Sebastian is ok but I don’t like Seb.

scrivette · 20/06/2020 20:29

I like Sebastian and Casper and Lysander

I don’t mind any of your names but definitely not Percy.
