I’m only 8 wks pregnant but after reading a baby name book, we’ve realised we can’t agree on a boy’s name ( I know we’ve got plenty of time!)
Our surname is Valentine.

For a girl, we both like Clara Florence.

Boy’s middle name will be Michael.
Don’t want this as first name though as I hate Mick and Mike!

I like Noah, Rowan & Alexander - DH not keen

DH likes Sam(uel), Max & Ben(jamin) but I’m not keen.

We can’t have: James, Jack, Matthew, Daniel, Jude, Leo or Oscar as family names.

Any help appreciated!

Don’t panic - you’re only eight weeks pregnant so plenty of times to contemplate names.

Alternatives-
Nathaniel
William
Edward
Peter
Seth

Thanks, not panicking too much yet! I don’t mind William, not keen on Edward DH vetoed Nathan/Nathanial

Peter is a definite no- DH is French and it means ‘to fart’ Grin
