Ds is Finlay and if we hv another boy we're stuck.....

Either DH or I like these, sort of but can't really agree on one, either one of hates it and one loves it.....
Finlay got called Finlay cos its the only boys name we could agree on....

Kind of want sort of 'different' without being weird and both not too keen on james, daniel, thomas, william, micheal etc.......

Wilfred
Rory
Barnaby
Fred
George
Toby
Stanley / Stan ???
Henry

Any other ideas MNers?

Not in love with any of them tho and hoping for a girl because of it!!
Hopefully we'll just know when we see our bump for the first time!!

Something else with a sort of Gaelic flavour? Cormac, Hugh, Angus?

legalalien · 07/12/2012 09:18

Dexter?

rachel234 · 07/12/2012 09:29

Stanley/Stan is great, as is Barnaby. I also like Dexter or how about Quentin, Felix or Fabian?

Ebb · 07/12/2012 12:37

I am a firm believer in that people sharing names have similar personalities generally. Both Finlays that I am aware of are very gentle giants. The most contented easy to get along with people.
But not too common a name that there are only 2 that I know
Good luck with the new arrival I am sure when the little person arrives the name will fit easily

Clary · 08/12/2012 00:19

Like your ideas OP

Some others in similar vein:
Arthur
Ed(ward/win)
Sidney
Albert/Bertie
Alfred

Henry

bbbum · 08/12/2012 00:32

Sam, Toby, Leo, Harry, Henry, Sebastian - all quite 'normal'
Fred, Ralph, Wilbur, Ivor, Bert, Bruce, Arthur, Rupert - a tad more 'daring'

NamingOfParts · 08/12/2012 00:45

Edwin, Oswin, Oliver

Empross76 · 08/12/2012 01:07

We struggled hugely with boys names, too. Our short list included Nathaniel (Nat), Jonah, Milo, Arlo, Sonny. A really popular boys name around here is Osian (pronounced Osh-ann). I quite like that, too.

Dylan and Ethan popped into my head.
Lots of good suggestions.
