need some ideas for buys names please...

[bigroundbump]

Dh doesn't like ANY names I suggest and we are therefore finding it hard to agree. Baby is due in 10 weeks time so would like to have a few potentials at the ready.
To give you and idea... I like:
Lachlan - Dh says we are not using the same name as Rupert Murdoch's son!
Malachi - DH thinks i've lost it.
Leon - a friend has used it already for their son
Max - both of us quite like but don't like maxamillion or maxwell - prefer maximus but not sure...
Freddie - but don't like frederick
Xavier - a friend has used already
Luca - DH says it reminds him of the suzanne vega song about domestic abuse!
Fabio - DH thinks I've lost it.
Oscar - Friend has used already.
George - DH not keen
Leo - used in family already

Please help me think of some nice names - have trawled the boards and various websites and not able to find anything we both like.
(Oh and it needs to go with DS1's name which is Dylan)
I await inspiration.....

Lurking as we are in the same position, i have come up with a few boys names which DH has vetoed - does he have any suggestions? does he heck

I too love Max but DH doesnt like Maxwell.

What about Dominic (nickname Nicky), although that may not go too well with Dylan... just-threw that in because i love Dominic but DH hates it

What about Maximo as an alternative long version of Max? Or just use Max as others have suggested?

Hubert
Herbert
Hugo
Hugh
Albert
Bertram
Robert
Richard
Andrew
Declan
Florence
Gabriel
Rex
Eden
Sky
Brook
Theodore
Edison
Harris
Felix
Gregory
Jeremy
Ellery
Edwin
Asa
Vincent
Elias
Antonio
Humphrey
Edmund
Addison
Andreas
Hector

Wow. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Really like Maximo!
Not sure about Florence for boy...
Declan and Felix are good too.

MarthasHarbour: What IS it with these dudes bloody vetoing everything but not making any suggestions?! so infuriating

OP i have bollocked him about it tonight on the back of this thread

What about simply Mark or Marc - similar sounding to Max........or Marcus.

I know a Malachi who mostly goes by the nickname Mack. Maybe Max isn't too far of a stretch beyond that? Like the Lily that I know that gets called Lils. If you like Declan, maybe Duncan?

Arthur or Wilbur for a boy.

But seriously, whatever name you give your ds will be made his own by his character as he grows up. People that hated his name will come to love it as they get to know him. Trust your son to make his name the best boys' name ever. Have fun with your little boys.

victor, gustav, pablo, nino, diego, enzo ????

I know a Max who is really Matthew, if that helps.

Milo, Leo

LOVE Malachy!

Gavin
Perry
Corry
Lewis
Lorcan
Caleb
Jake
Marley (going with the Dylan-esque theme......!!)

I like Jesse, Tristan (or Tristram) or Callum - which is my son's name and he is basically perfect....

oh, and my DH always liked Rory (......?)

:) @ goodasgold.
Like Lewis and Pablo lots but think they may have already been rejected!

Iheartmycat: had had the same thought about Marley - they could be the 2 Bobs then - but a friend already has a Marley and that film about the dog has ruined the name for DH.
Leo is lovely but in family already.
Love Milo but DH "hates" it.
The search continues... 9 weeks and counting...

Just to give you an idea of what I'm up against:
Me: "Callum is lovely..."
DH: "Too much like Gollum... My precious."

I have the same issue. Name ideas vetoed but no alternatives given. We don't know what we are having and I'm two days overdue and think we have a few girls names that we could pick from depending on "fit" post birth but completely stuffed for boys. Him Indoors not keen on my fave boys name so may have to resort to calling a boy "boy".

What are your fave boys names Siversky?

If it helps, I had a very similar dilemma, DP and I couldn't agree on a boy's name either, DS was nameless for a couple of days! We whittled it down to James, William or Max. Went with Max William in the end, was a bit of a compromise at the time but I love it now. We didn't like any of the 'long' versions although I didn't really want a short name as surname is also one syllable. I tell myself secretly that it's short for Maximus as that means 'great one'! And I also lengthen it to Maxi moo or Maxster if no one else is around... :)

Rhys or Ross

Rhys being Welsh like Dylan
A quick google gives Ross as Scotish, but the one I knew was a stunningly good looking Welsh lad.

OP are you secretly married to my DH? That conversation 'style' is prevalent in our household. eg:

Martha: What about Max - oo Max is lovely
MrMartha: Nah - 'Maxwell House or Mad Max' haha

His current faves are Jesus and Adolf

I am loving Aiden at the moment but he is just dismissive, no reason at all, so i have said that he has to be 'open to new ideas'

Rufus, Rory, Edward, Edmund, Phillip, Miles, Ellis, Dominic... I have 3 DD's. Couldnt think of a boys name when I was pregnant, now I love all of these.

There doesn't seem to be many boys names that jump out iykwim.

Today I was at soft play and heard three names I liked being yelled left right and centre. I don't mind popular names but there is a limit!
