I'm really struggling for boys names!
The only input my partner has is fernando! I refuse to call my child fernando! I already have two boys who are Matthew and Adam, so need some suggestions to go with these, my mind is blank and if he says fernando one more time I might have to punch him!

Oh dear! Why Fernando?

So he wants to name his baby after a sausage Grin

Perhaps try to get him to think about the name on it's own rather then in the context of . . . the sausage. For eg, imagine going to the park and calling out the name.

Do you have any ideas? It sounds like you'd prefer something ordinary like Thomas/William/Ben etc.

My DH came up with odin and thor Hmm

In the end we decided on William if it was a boy.

Your other names are biblical, maybe follow the theme?

I meant my partner is being a sausage lol alonso is a formula 1 driver! I don't know what I want really, everything I have suggested just gets a 'no' from him.

Ferdinand? (Then at least it's not an Abba song as well).

Lewis? James? Michael? (Trying and failing to think of any more F1 drivers).

Is your partner an Alan Partridge fan?

Get him to squeeze a whole person out of his vagina - then he can choose the name Fernando.
