I know i am, i am 20 weeks pg with DC3 who we have just found out is a boy Grin we have 2 DDs so this is lovely.

The only thing is we cannot agree on a name, i come up with names he says NO and then says stupid names. Its realy bugging me more then it would ordinarily so hormones i think.

I LOVE the name Johnny because my grandad was John, he died earlier this yr and he was a great man i just realy want this name but DH wont have it which i think is unreasonable because it means alot to me.

So IABU arent i and can anyone give names suggestions we nee more ideas, i would like a tradional name as both DDs are.

Good, ( cos I never did get to use that name!)

Richard, Nicholas, Dominic, Gilbert.....

Other names which come from the same root as John:

Jonathan
Ivan
Ian
Jake
Sean/Shaun

How about you make a list of names you like, DH makes a list of names he like and when the baby's here or when you are in labour, you decide together. Baby doesn't need a name just yet. I refused to discuss names while I was pregnant as I knew then DH would ask random people if they liked it or not and just get given their favourite names.

And I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Think your thread title is in bad taste though.

Hecate - thankyou i will go through though links and hopefully find something we both like.

Tasty thats a good idea then we may have some we both like and be able to whittle it down.

I like Evan that will be going on the list didnt know it was a version of John.

Bertie i didnt mean it in bad taste but its the hormones, feels almost like PMT when he isnt realy doing anything wrong but realy annoying me anyway Smile

You can't have John and Thomas, just remember that!

You seem to like the nicknamey versions of names - johnny, freddie - maybe he likes the more trad versions? They can be a wee bit babyish IMHO

But yeah, agree title is misleading. There's a baby names section full of this (sh*t), um debate

QuintessentialDead · 09/10/2011 10:51

Yabu. On both accounts.

However, Jonathan is lovely.

However, how about:

Max, Luca, Oscar, Spike, Sam, Sardinius, Lucien, Malfoy, or Daniel?

Perfectly good names in my book, and nothing to do with rubber.

BeyondLimitsOfTheLivingDead · 09/10/2011 10:51

pink I used to have someone working for me whose name was John Thomas (thomas being his SURNAME!) Grin

Dumpyandabdabs · 09/10/2011 11:53

I like Johnny and thomas so i'm no help but here are some more.

Adam, Daniel, George, Samuel, Peter, Joseph, Matthew, James, Michael.

Good luck finding a name you both love.

BertieBotts · 09/10/2011 11:54

Why can't you have John and Thomas? Confused

piratecaaaaaaaaaghhht · 09/10/2011 12:02

John thomas is slang for a willy!

Trills · 09/10/2011 12:03

It means alot to me

PigletJohn · 09/10/2011 12:03

In "Lady Chatterley's lover," Mellors the gamekeeper uses the term "John Thomas" as a pet name for his penis.

Possibly some other people do the same.

SecretNutellaFix · 09/10/2011 12:04

Bertie, John Thomas is a slang term for penis.

Trills · 09/10/2011 12:04

And obviously YABVVVU to want to hurt your DH because you can't decide on a name. Especially when you are 20 weeks to go.

ShriekingLisa · 09/10/2011 12:12

My boys have got old names.
Jack
Alfie.

If you wabt old names look on websites then eliminate certain ones.

BertieBotts · 09/10/2011 12:21

Oh, is it? I've never heard that before! Grin

NinkyNonker · 09/10/2011 12:29

Don't throw a hormonal fit afterwards, he does have the right to an opinion. Wouldn't it sour things for you knowing he didn't like/want the name?
