Help boys names, unusual but not made up!

66 replies

RetroMum1 · 26/06/2009 19:18

We are trying to come up with a boys name. It is impossible, I have enough girls names for 8 children but none that I love for a boy.

If DD had been a boy she'd have been a Noah Finlay. It is now to common for us.

DH likes Nelson and Jasper and I do but I don't love them like I did my daughters name or any of my chosen girls names!.

We are looking for something that is unusual, cool and cute but not made up like Storm.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yes, Gene is an excellent suggestion totally under used and under appreciated me thinks! Well done dotty for suggesting it!

dottyaboutstripes · 02/07/2009 11:06

I love Jago (but already have an Arlo so was no good when we were deciding on a name for DS3 (who is Jasper .....DS1 is Gabriel)
Ivo
Seamus
Hector
Gene

Must admit I find it much more difficult to choose names for a boy than a girl! Good luck in finding the name!
