Boys Names!!!!!!

We haven't yet found out what we're having, but i have a feeling its a boy. unfourtunately we can't agree on any boys names, and have pretty girls names coming out of our ears.

Would like something uncommon, but not so unique that people can't spell it.

I'm keen on Caleb and Finlay, however other half not so keen and likes things like Bailey and Lewes

Any ideas would be appreciated!

oh, someone else suggested Flynn already....I have a Flynn...my youngest ds....and have not come cross one around the places I have lived since having him. Had him in Northern Ireland, we than moved to near Melton Mowbray and now live in Corby, so...not a common name

Flynn
Levy
Noah

If you like Irish names then Logan is lovely.

My son's name Hugh, is quite Irish apparently too. I understand Hugh gives some love or hate reactions though.

If you are worried about Finlay/Finn being too popular, how about Flynn? I've never met one of them here (West london)!

noonki · 03/08/2008 21:47

100's of finn's/finlays here

and evie's /ross / maes/ lilly's too !!

but popular doesn't mean bad!

hw2004 · 03/08/2008 21:41

Caleb is nice. Finlay is nice but round here there are millions of them aswell. Also all the variants such as Finn, Finley, Finlay, Finbar, Flynn!!

Loriycs · 03/08/2008 10:33

Corin's nice, could be spelt Korin as well i suppose

ten10 · 03/08/2008 10:28

My favourite at the mo for a boy is

Corin

Loriycs · 03/08/2008 10:24

caleb has become very popular recently, was virtually unheard of when i considered it six years ago. Didnt choose it as thought it would always be pronounced the wrong way, but that wouldnt be a prob now. I still like it, but if you want something uncommon then its definately not for you.Dont like your husbands choices at all, neither Finlay sa it has a ring of Eastenders' Rickaaaaay' to it!!!

nooka · 16/07/2008 19:29

You've got months to go yet. Stop worrying over it and something will come to you. Go to lots of films - credits are a good source of names. Or bookshops

cyteen · 16/07/2008 19:19

Conrad?

nickeldime · 16/07/2008 16:31

Rrrayray, the name Bailey is dying out as a boy's name - check out:
boy name Bailey
girl name Bailey

Nancy66's suggestion of Finn sounds great as a boy name. For a girl, I would go for Fiona!

rosmerta · 07/07/2008 16:06

This could be me as well! Have lots of girls names we like but hardly any boys names. When ds was born we literally just had to pick a name!

Having same problem this time around as well. So far we've got Connor, Liam & Ewan on a list.

Nancy, out of your list I like Patrick but then I'm biased as that's ds's name!

JordTyler · 07/07/2008 15:50

hiya. DS1 is Jordan(only for boy IMO) DS2 is Tyler, emergency choice as OH wanted Ryan (hated it)

I went on the top 100 lists so i knew what i DIDN'T want.

A friends DS is Malacki (sp), and my cousin is Tabian, both different i think.

greenelizabeth · 07/07/2008 15:34

I like Caleb and although I do like Finley, I wouldn't describe it as unusual. If you're not afraid of a good bible name, I love Saul.
