Help me decide on a boys name for DS2

[TurkeyDino]

DS2 is due in 9 weeks and DH and I are struggling to agree on a name for him.

DS1 is Daniel James

DS2 will have the middle name Laurence, which I love as a first name but it's just too 'posh' for us, it doesn't really fit well for us we don't think.

So far the front runners are;
Oliver
Harry
Ryan

Any preferences or further suggestions?

Our surname is King.

(I know this outs me, hence the name change!)

Love Daniel James and dont mind any of your suggestions for DS2 though in order of preference it would be:
Ryan
Oliver
Harry

Of the Daniel's I know their brothers are called Thomas and Simon.

How about:
Joseph
Nathan
Leon
Joel
Aidan
Ciaran

Harry's the nicest by far!! You other boy here is called Oliver and I'm not exaggerating!

Nathan is my first choice but DH hates it!

Seems like Harry is in the lead at the moment, we really like Ryan but we do think it has the 'naughty boy' association.

Harry and Oliver are very, very widely used already! I'm not keen on Ryan, sorry.

How about these classic but not overused names
Simon
Michael
Jonathan
Robert
Quentin
Dominic
Peter
Gregory

I like Henry! Bit like harry but not as used!

Laurence isn't that posh! You could shorten to Laurie which I love as a nn.

Laurence King sounds perfect

I like your other choices although less keen on Ryan.

Laurie is much nicer than your other choices. You don't have to use the long version.

Jacob Laurence
Max Laurence
Edward Laurence
Elliot Laurence
Aaron Laurence

Laurence is the female version of Lauren in French. Like Florence is to Florent. I'd spell it Lawrence for a boy. And yes, it is lovely!

laurence nn laurie, or just laurie, is a brilliant name! use it! Sounds cool with your surname too. IMO much nicer than your other options...but that's just me! Do you like Nathan, or Nathaniel, or Elliot?
Just pick a name you love

My DS is Daniel James too

If we have a DS2 he will be Robert, Henry or Jonathan not sure if any of those are for you?

Gahhhh! There are just no names that I love! DS1's name came so easily, we're 11 weeks into boys name discussions and no further forward.

I think I'm starting to lose the plot with names as this week I have seriously considered Spencer, Rudy and Milo... I don't even know if they're good names!

Don't like any of those 3 most recent ones there sorry.

Oliver is nice, but incredibly popular.

Rudy is very cool, but hated on MN

DH hates the most recent 3 too so they're not really on the running. I do like Robert, and it's my best friend's name but again DH not keen.

DS is suggesting we go with 'baby brother'

Daniel and James are parts of my sons names - between them we have also used Zac, Ben, Mark and Thomas. Other names that seem to me to go with Daniel, could be
Owen Lawrence
George Lawrence
Joshua Lawrence
Luke (maybe not with Lawrence)

Sounds like your DH isn't keen on some of your suggestions, but what sort of names does he like? What ideas has he had? Tell us and we can try to suggest something that's a compromise between your different tastes in names.

RYAN!!!!!!! Beautiful sound to it.

DH likes Charlie and Alfie. He's quite set on Oliver now but I'm not 100% on it.

I like Laurence/Laurie the best!

I'm now in the Laurence/Laurie camp too... just need to convince DH. It was his bloody suggestion as a middle name anyway.

He thinks it's too posh more than I do, even though it was his Grandad's name who was not remotely posh!

I'd also spell it Lawrence. Laurence is a girls' name in France, like Florence.

Also, how can a name be posh? A person might be considered posh but a name? I believe a person makes his name, not the other way round.

I like Ryan Laurence, it sounds really nice. I love the name Oliver, but if you feel Laurence sounds too posh I think Oliver might highlight that? Oliver would be my favourite though.

Another vote for Lawrence as first name.
