Hello all, we only have a week or so left to try and come to a decision on a boys name... its proving difficult! So far we've toyed with...

Samson
Isaac
Leo
Leon
Adam

We just cant seen to decided on one in particular and have ended up saying maybe we'll just wait and see what baby looks like! We don't know the sex but if it's a girl we think she'll be called Isla.

What do you think? Thanks folks :)

I prefer Sam over any of the others, but if it was me I'd keep looking until I found a name I loved.

I don't like Isla - but that's OK, she's not my DD :) and IME you soon fall in love with the child and can't imagine them being called anything else.

I love Samson. That's my favourite.

Isaac is ok,but I'm not a big fan.

Leo is ok.

Hate Leon.

Adam is lovely.

Samson - would get called Sam which I dont like
Isaac - like it
Leo - ok
Leon - my fav on this list (and would be on my shortlist!)
Adam - nice enough

Samson - like, and makes a change from Samuel
Isaac - a classic, not my favourite but OK
Leo - like
Leon - prefer Leo
Adam - I find this a bit wet, don't know why

Isaac- nn Zac is gorgeous.

I like Adam and Leo. My DD is an Isla, love it!

I'm also stuck for boys names and we need two!!! will wait and see what babies look like ultimately though

I like finnian, alistair, edward and william, noah... dh agrees on not a single one of those.

We're probably taking Adam off the short list now as its a bit too 'normal' sounding for me i think... who knows, spent ages looking at lists of boys names and we cant agree on any! I do quite like Finnian though :)

Loads of options we both like for girls, we also love Ella and Eleanor as well as Isla. Kinda hoping its a girl if only for ease of naming, hehe!

I love Finnian. Much less common than Finlay.
I like ella. Ellie is just so common though... Short for eleanor, elyssia etc and I meet so many ellies. Not as many as izzies though!

I was almost hoping for the twins to be girls- I love freya, esme, imogen, elsa (couldn't have that with Isla though) etc etc. Boys, I really want Sebastian now. Heart set on that for one of my boys!!! Got forever to go though, 24 weeks tomorrow...

Isaac is lovely but no need to rush on a decision, if the baby is a boy you still have up to 6 weeks before you have to register :)

SoFreshNSoClean · 28/12/2011 22:30

I love Leon.

We had a small list of names and waited until our babies were born. You'd be surprised at how strongly you go off some names once you have your baby in your arms!

BoysBoysBoysAndMe · 28/12/2011 22:35

I would select a couple and wait til baby is born.

He was Josh for 1 day.

Harrison for 3.

Then we settled on Jack - don't know where that came from.

You need to see your baby first and get used to saying it.
