Give us a starting point!!

If I was having a boy tomorrow I'd go for one of these names: Jasper, Rowan, Nicholas, Felix, Jago, Timothy, Dylan, Otto or Silas.

Interested in this thread?

Do you have any particular connections with any part of the world/UK.
ie, DH's family aere Irish so we went for Irish names?
Any forebears from anywhere interesting that would enable you to narrow your choice?

Luckily I let my husband name the boys, I had no ideas

they have traditional Scottish names in English

my girls also have traditional Scottish names but in gaelic

@Bimblybomeyelash

Sorry! Names we like;

Joseph (cant use this though)
Oscar
Leo
Clarke
Jude
Benjamin (probably wont use because dont want to get ben)
Henry

Husband suggested Taylor i don’t dislike
It

I love Vincent and Sebastian but DH doesn’t like either

Have names we like but nothing we love. Restrictions in our local hospital mean he probably wont be able to stick around long after babys born i hate the idea of baby having no name when he has to leave - so silly i know it really doesnt matter!

Try this website

You tick the names you like then click to hide your list, DH ticks the ones he likes, then you ask it to show you which ones you both ticked. There's your shortlist.
