Because I literally can't. He is a boy. We have two weeks left and we just can't name him.

Alexander gets my vote.
I am biased though as my DD is the female version.

I like Theo as well.

But you really can't decide until you see him.
I changed my DD name after 4 days and realising she just wasn't what I was originally going to call her.

That's weird Ravishing I used to know someone called Cosmo Beer!

jaseyraex · 05/07/2019 17:47

What are your tastes? Classic names or slightly unusual names or totally out there names?

My boys list was
Xander
Theo
Flynn
Parker
Jackson

My DHs was
Aiden
James
Mark
Dylan
Noah

We picked one of mine in the end and something else entirely for DS2. Naming babies is hard! Perhaps try and have a small list for when baby is born and decide after you see him? I know some people find it easier once they can see what suits their baby. Although babies look like babies to me Grin

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 05/07/2019 17:48

I did this! I posted in desperation as well.

I got hundreds of suggestions and hated them all 😂

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 05/07/2019 17:48

But for what it's worth the ones we very nearly used was

Woody
Ace
Buzz (no we aren't toy story fantastically, I loved Woody and DH likes Buzz after Buzz Aldrin)

saynotoselfid · 05/07/2019 17:50

Yeah, don't spell Jonathan with an extra H, it looks crap.
