What would you name him?
Had girls names lined up but wrongly told the gender!

Jack

I'd love a jack but it doesn't work with my first child's name (sounds too nursery rhyme-ish)

Patrick or John

I like the name Donal.

But for mine we went with names that ended up being in the top 10 or 15. I think nowadays I might go for something like Paul or Peter or John. They have not come back into fashion. I have a friend who has a John and she says that except for the teachers he is the only one in the school. It has an appeal. Although I do like the name Wolf and always had a soft spot for Ezekiel, but DH was violently anti (strange person that he is).

Elijah, Henry or Dylan. I also like Levi but I think that's become associated with chavs who don't realise it's from the Bible.

MeatyRvita · 16/01/2022 10:04

Lysander or Caspian

But my DH would disagree.

It would have been Theo had a family member not just had a baby boy called Theo!
Or Jude or Tristan.
My all-time favourite boys name is Luke but would never use it with my surname. My DS is Max.

Greg or Oliver

Prescottdanni123 · 16/01/2022 10:09

Zachary

WakeUpLockie · 16/01/2022 10:10

Joel but it’s too much like DS1s name. But for the purposes of this thread, Joel.

Teddy (Edward) after my dad. It’s my DS’s middle name but I wish I’d used it as a first name.
