We found out today that I'm having a boy! Already have a dd so we are very chuffed! Have lots of girls names but not really any boys.

I like Theo - dh hates it
Dh likes Jimmy - I dont like this

Would really like a strong name, open to all suggestions. Thanks

Hostility? How very bizarre!

I think the OP must have had two threads open and commented on the wrong thread!

Hope you are right, Bandwithering. What a peculiar comment, otherwise.

Maybe need to find something that means 'son of oversensitive' in latin?
Hmm

My goodness...hostility! I can't see what all the drama is about Hmm offers OP Wine

I was going to suggest:
Richard
Henry
John
James with nn Jimmy
Edward
Gavin
Matthew
Simon
Andrew
Mark
Jonathan
Daniel

IMO Theo isn't a 'strong' name, Theodore would be much better. {ducks just in case}

FWIW I like Jimmy. How about Jonny instead?

No hostility here though Hmm

Please don't venture into AIBU if you ever return!

Same as confused, was hoping to nick a few more ideas.......but all the hostility.....Wink.

My dh suggested Ronnie, but that's in the same camp as Jimmy and Vinnie imo. Gangsters! Either that or -gnomes- Ronnie Corbett.

I love Leo, Arlo, Lucas and Grey. He doesn't.

We both like Max, but doesn't go with our surname at all.

Dd has suggested Cyril.......

OP do you think it might be worth saying what you found hostile?? i really can't see it in this thread, people just seemed to be making suggestions on names which is what you asked. Have you miss read something maybe?
