Struggling with boys names....

10 replies

I have about 8 beautiful girls names in case we have a girl, but am really struggling with boys....
We love James, Daniel, Edward and Jacob - but already have close friends and relatives that have used them. Really want a classic name but it feels like all the good ones have already been taken.
Our shortlist is Joshua (I know it's really popular, but none of our friends have taken it yet, and this was our boys name for our DD) and George, although we would preferably want at least 2 syllabals as we have a short surname. Loads of friends are due before me, and we'll be stuck if Joshua gets used too! Please help!!

Patrick
Quentin
Vincent
William

I think Joshua's a lovely name!

You might also like to think about: Marcus, Alexander, Peter, Timothy, Samuel, Toby/Tobias, Theo(dore), Jeremy, Charles, Phillip, Christopher, Matthew. Any good?
