Girl name - set.

Boy name - I like NONE. Everything I hear is displeasing. I used to like Noah but I really dislike the popularity factor now. That turns me off a name super quick.

I like Hugo (the one and only name), but it doesn't go with our last name and partner hates it.

Help

Middle name will be Edward and/or Isaiah. Neither are up for dicsussion as first names sadly.

IPredictADiet · 18/07/2010 22:12

the names we had for a boy were Miles, Edward and Patrick.

Haliborange · 18/07/2010 22:16

The problem with boys' names for me is that there are hardly any that I like, and the ones I like are quite common so I tend to know at least 3 of them of varying ages.

Anyhoo, names I like which are not so common are...

Willem
Bastian
Fabian (actually I know 2 of these, but they are overseas so don't count)

I quite like Toby, Edward, Charles and William but know a fair few of each...

Haliborange · 18/07/2010 22:17

And I am strangely taken with Horatio but if we ever have a boy DH would sooner cut off his tongue than call a boy that.

Haliborange · 18/07/2010 22:17

Oh (last one I promise): Magnus. Love it.

CakeandRoses · 18/07/2010 22:20

Can you give us an indication of why Hugo doesn't work with your surname please? That'll help us think of an alternative which doesn't have the same issue.

lilmissmummy · 18/07/2010 22:22

Our shortlist was:-
Oscar
Hugo
Charles
Louie (but dh vetoed)

also really like:-
Jacob
George
Thomas
Reuben
Rafe

CakeandRoses · 18/07/2010 22:23

Rupert? Possibly the same type of name as Hugo?

I adore it but DH thinks it smacks of a nice but dim army Officer leading his troops to a certain death.

LynetteScavo · 18/07/2010 22:24

Hugo Edward is the perfect name. You obviously need to change your surname and partner.

Hector?

mopsyflopsy · 18/07/2010 22:26

Our shortlist had similar names:
Tobias
Quentin
Hugo
Benedict

tummytickler · 18/07/2010 23:27

Fergus or Angus ?

CheerfulYank · 19/07/2010 22:16

Yes, we need a girl's name to determine your taste!

I have a cousin-in-law who's got a Noah, and his little brother is Abram. They're both old biblical names.

valiumSingleton · 19/07/2010 23:23

I love Salvatore ! (mad men).

Love Salvatore Victor. That would be a cool combo.

scaussie · 19/07/2010 23:48

Haliborange : I love Magnus too, but DH says we are not vikings lol

I also had picked

Angus
Clay
Tristan
Fraser
Arran
Lewis
Jacob
Kane
Zach
Caleb

Please let us all know what you both like
Also, it would help to know how many syllables are in your surname/what letter it starts with.
