I struggled naming first DS and have used up the only boys name I like.

I don't actually know what the sex of this baby is but have loads of girls names but can't think of one single boys name

Please help me so that my baby doesn't grow up without a name!!!

Harvey is v cute! It reminds me of Katie Prices' little boy and he's adorable

Love Louis too.

Not keen on Noah at all.

BabyTalk13 · 24/01/2009 17:27

memoo- I love Harvey for a little boy, think its so cute!

macherie- I know 2 boys called Louis (pronounced Lou-ee) and still get so confused when I see this name! So I cant say I like it myself although its not a bad name!

princessmel · 24/01/2009 17:21

I like Harvey, my friends ds is called Harvey and he's a lovely boy.

macherie · 24/01/2009 17:21

How about Louis? Pronounced Lou-ee, not Lou-is

Oh I love Rudy!!

And Noah.

lizmcfizz · 23/01/2009 20:28

I too am having such big problems choosing a boy's name. I like Rudy but that has been vetoed by the family as too 'camp' or 'American'. I also like Elliot and Emil. HELP!!!

TheCrackFox · 23/01/2009 19:53

Noah is lovely.

jeanjeannie · 23/01/2009 19:52

Elliot
Joel
I find boys names hard - glad I've got girls!

kerryk · 23/01/2009 19:50

you have to call him noah then

i would love 2 boys called oliver and noah but i cant cope with the 2 girls i already have

plonker · 23/01/2009 19:45

Ah lots of time to find the 'right' name then, if memory serves correct, you like to leave it till the last minute to decide

Good luck with your scan - let me know how you get on.

All your dcs and dsd's have beautiful names (Millie is especially gorgeous of course )

Oh, and Max is one of the names we had for dd3 if she had have been a boy - I don't think its old mannish at all

I think all the names suggested are lovely but not quite right for me. I do like Max, but wasn't sure if it sounded a bit old man ish.

Plonker, I only just got BFP the other week, not sure exactly how many weeks. I'm having a scan in a couple of weeks. Have to have an early one because last pregnancy was ectopic.

I haven't told the DC yet as want to wait until I definately know that everything is OK.

DSD's are called Millie and Poppy

I settled on Matthew for ds, and had a real struggle deciding as we have a dreadful surname too. Other possibilities were
Oliver
Charlie
Samuel
Ben
Thomas
Joshua
I love ds' name, but it isn't exactly uncommon, and dd does pronounce it Maff Yew

GossipMonger · 23/01/2009 19:16

Hannah, Oliver and Sam

Hannah, Oliver and Thomas

Hannah, Oliver and Max

Hannah, Oliver and Joshua

Hannah, Oliver and Zac

Lots of names go with Hannah and Oliver

plonker · 23/01/2009 19:11

Oh I'm so pleased for you ...you know you're going to have to share baby with me don't you?

How far gone are you? Do Hannah and Oliver know? What do they think? What are your step-daughters called?

Aww Eve is lovely

Have you got a long short list for boys?

kerryk · 23/01/2009 19:10
