Hi all me and Dh can only agree on 3 names Dh likes another 1. Can anyone help? Our surname is maple and we have no middle names either I am nearly 33 weeks and getting worried! Names are Xavier , reuben, louie and Dh likes Luca!

Xavier Maple would be a great name :) Reuben would be my next choice from your list.

How about Owen, Alexander, Ethan, Lucas, Tristan, Zachary?

Xavier is an excellent name

Cazm2 · 01/02/2012 21:32

Thanks its my favourite but Dh is wavering just stuck on middle names we aren't using family names as very old-fashioned!

I like Reuben Maple, also Tristan Maple or how about Quentin Maple? I don't like Luca at all, it sounds very feminine imo.

Xavier or Luca for me! Not keen on the other 2 at all..

Xavier Maple is the most wonderful name! It sounds like a English 'gentlemanly' superhero :). I can't see anything wrong with Xavier Reuben, but an alternative might be a single syllable mn - like Max or Jack.

I like Louis Maple, pronounced Louie
How about:
Leo Maple
Patrick Maple
Alexander Maple
George Maple
Dominic Maple
Nicholas Maple
Edward/Teddy Maple

Is this your first DS?
We now have 3DS's , imagine how difficult we found it by the last! Lol
Don't make the mistake we did and use the name you like second best as a middle name.
BTW, if you think Luca is a bit "girlie", what about Lucas? (DS3's name)

yes this is first baby. we dont know what we are having but i am just worried at 33 weeks that we have not got enough boys names!!

not sure about middle names its a nightmare! girls were much easier!!

our family names are very old fashion, Brian, Walter etc

I think Xavier is a fabulous name, although there are other good suggestions on here. All of fredandgingers are gorgeous names (my DS is mentioned so she clearly has good taste).
I honestly don't think you can go wrong with Xavier though. It's on my list for number 2 should I have a DS.
