Boys names?

13 replies

I am expecting DC3 and am really struggling with boys names.
I have 1 ds and 1 dd -DS is Finlay -believe it or not there really weren't many around 8 years ago!!
Girls names I can come up with lists no problem but boys -I just really can't find boys names that I think-ooh I really like that!
I like the name Flynn but I feel that it just too close to Finlay (if the bump turns out to be a boy) especially as Finlay sometimes gets called Finn for short by his friends.
Any suggestions on where to find some nice boys names !!!

Loving Rafferty here tooSmile x

Yay, people loving Rafferty! It's the only name DH & I can agree on for DS2 due in April...now I feel reassured as wasn't sure I was brave enough! Thanks everyone & OP! :o

What is your DD's name? Would be helpful to know before suggesting names.

I would expect a Finlay to have a brother with a name something like Theo/Leo/Archie/Oscar/Rory/Jude/Dylan

magentastardust · 10/02/2011 22:56

Ooh I like Theo, I like Rory too but dh doesn't. Isaac nice too thank you ! I seem to manage to read baby name books without any of the boys names jumping out but these threads definitely help!
DD is Mia for those asking.
Thanks

Pixipie...I nearly had it for my ds 6 years ago but wasn't brave enough. I still love it, but equally love what I did call ds too. Go for it and good luck.
