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.....

Wilfred? Could have Wilf or Freddie for a nn?

We are in the same boat OP. 6 weeks to go and only one name we agree on if it's a boy - Lysander.

DP says no to everything else. :(

He likes Victor, but i don't.

@ Silversky: am really intrigued now. What are the three names you like?
@Spuddybean: Lysander is nice. Have you thought or Leander or Orlando?

hhmm I quite like Leander (not keen on Orlando). But i don't want the shortening to Lee.

DP sort of likes Campbel - Cam for short, so i think that is the back up so far. It is so hard. Girls names seem so much easier. It may be a girl tho so we will see.

Cheers for the advice :)

I know a Leander - a woman in her 40s!

I'm not overly keen on traditional names so I am not keen on Matthew, Mark, John, James etc.

Him Indoors said that if I really wanted a particular name I could have it but he doesn't like it. Somehow I'm not sure I could go with a name that he didn't also really like? Or could I?

I'm playing cards close to my chest on names for now! Grin
