Am currently pregnant with first dc, (due beg. Jan). Don't know what we're having, but have already settled on girls name we both love, (Holly). Cannot, however, pick a boys name. Current thinking goes as follows:

Byron (my choice)
Dexter (DH's choice)
Nate
Luca
Marcus (DH hates this one, and has already vetoed it sadly)
Freddie (we both like this one, but our surname also starts with FRE- so would sound a bit odd)

DH thinks Byron is 'too poncey', and will be misheard/mis-spelt as Bryan.

I think Dexter will just lead people to think of psychopathic serial killers.

All views welcome, (even negative)
Cheers

Luca, and Marcus are the only ones of those that I like, if we had a ds hewould have been lucas.

Freddie (if shortened from Frederick) is a lovely name but I quite agree that it doesn't sound good with a surname beginning with Fre-.

Luca is too Italian. Lucas is better.

Love luca

Byron - a lot to live up to

Marcus - nice (what about Mark or Michael)
