Help, I don't love any boys' names!

I'm expecting a baby boy at the end of April and my major problem is that I can't find any names that I really love. We found it easy to come up with some awesome girls names that we adored but we just don't feel the same about boys' names.
DH comes from a Muslim background so something 'cross cultural' would be good, but I'm also desperate and so looking further afield for inspiration. Annoyingly, we also don't want something too unusual but not too common.
Please help, or we will have to just call him 'boy'!

My son is of similar heritage and is called Indy.

I also like Danyal and Rafi, which are both islamic and IMO fit the brief quite well!

How about Adam? As multicultural as it gets!

Also Sami, Laith, Jad.... easily pronounceable (sp?) by Brits :)

We have the same problem, only liked a few male names but loads of female ones... and of course we now have a DS!

I'm also due end of April and expecting a boy - like you I'm finding boys names really tuff - loads of beautiful girls names.
My best friend isn't pregnant but has already named her three sons lol her children will have the same ethnic mix as yours & will be Noah Issac & Jay.

I had this problem first time round was having a DS and could not think of a decent name I liked but loved loads of girls names. Opposite problem this time like lots of boys names but struggled coming up with a girls one. I think it is just the pressure that we put on ourselves to name our children. For the record this time I really liked Seth, Isaac, Ben, Sam, Alex and Jude. Not sure if they cover your requirements but ideas nonetheless.

Rafi, Zaid and Samir are really lovely. Adam is a good all rounder but a little boring. Isa is a lovely name - cutest little boy down the road called that. Adan or Issar (but that means sacrifice!)? Issac?

You'll probably end up calling him Boy anyway! interspersed with the names of other children, your brother and the dog!
