I created a thread the other day asking for opinions on 10/12 names however I don't really love any of them. I would like some inspiration so what are your sons names?
(Only share is you're happy of course) :)

Thomas is my absolute favourite boys name and even though I had two boys I didn't use it for either of their first names.

I wish I'd stuck to my guns more, really.

I had three girls but if I had a son I would have called him Jude

@SabreIsMyFave I did say to only post their names if you're happy to. Just scroll past if you don't have any suggestions.

Is anyone going to put the real names of their children on here? Confused

I wouldn't.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/05/2024 16:33

My Angel baby is Gabriel.

Snoopystick · 13/05/2024 15:12

Not writing my son’s name but my other favourites are Gabriel, Thomas and Christian.

William and Thomas. But also in the running were Max, Toby, Theo and Finn.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/05/2024 15:04

My son has one of these names on my list ( I tend to like very classic names that don’t usually give away age or social background for the childs sake - this inevitably means the names are often fairly popular though):

Edward
James
Alexander
William
Thomas
Samuel
Max
Michael
Nathaniel
Owen
