I’ve read all the books, I’ve scoured the internet I just really don’t like any of them.

Me and dp are trying to conceive and I feel like I need to get a head start on a boys name just incase.

If we have a girl in future, she will be Seren Rose. We have chosen Toby Wren for our little boy due in February Smile

@SalemsPot22 same!!! We find out in two weeks what we are having but I'm sure it's a boy! We have a girls name, but I literally like no boys!! We have Tommy after both our grandads but I feel it's a little too "safe" x

To carry on the French theme, perhaps Etienne?

When you mentioned Astrid, it brought to mind Magnus...or something else Scandi? Kasper?

elizabethb1888 · 03/01/2021 17:00

What about some Irish boy names?? There nice Smile

lucymagoo · 03/01/2021 16:57

In the exact same boat as you, I had my girls name all picked out ready to use and found out we are having a boy. Here is our list of potential names, I like them but I just don't LOVE any so really struggling. Hopefully it can be of use to you:

Sebastian
Charlie
Theodore
Leonardo
Tyler
Cameron
Camden
Zachary
Phoenix
Hayden
Max
Rory
Tristan
Rowan
Alexander
Noel
Leon
Julian
Ashton

BrandoraPaithwaite · 03/01/2021 16:05

A lovely French boys name is Etienne.

What about Felix?

BrandoraPaithwaite · 03/01/2021 16:05

Sebastian fits with the French theme then.

Ohdoleavemealone · 03/01/2021 16:04

Joseph based on you liking Josephine
