So now I'm trying to think of a boys name...

You were all very helpful with recent ramona middle name dilemma so thought I'd ask again for help! If this baby isn't a girl then we need to think of a boys name. We really struggled with ds1 but met him and decided on Toby which suits him to a tee. We're both teachers and struggle to find nanes that we both like and don't have associations. My dh doesn't like things that are too out there but wants a name he hadn't taught basically. Toby's a good one as isn't too popular but is pretty 'normal' if you know what I mean. Perdon favourites I have are dexter (dh hates it), Dylan (dh not so sure as taught one he struggled with) and I quite like the sound of Benjamin but not so sure.

Any ideas???!

Ooh I've just started a similar thread, where I have considered Toby for my potential DS's name, so maybe you would consider my DS's name! - Samuel (Sam), again a normal name but I've not yet met another one!

I have a Toby ! It's a great name. His big brother is Max. We have on our list for dc3 Sam, Zack and Dexter.

Tobias with the nickname Toby?

Isaac
Riley
Cody
Zachary

Neiffer · 29/12/2012 19:33

I love Samuel but his cousin is called that :(
He's just a Toby. I also like max bit it's awful with our surname (begins with an m)
Also like zack and Isaac but also cousins (we're a big family!). Charlie and billy (William) are a no go for the same reasons :(

Finn

Lewis

Jonas

Ethan

Felix

Jack

So you are going for Ramona for a girl?

Neiffer · 29/12/2012 19:42

Love Edward and Eddie but I'm worried about how incredibly popular it is because of silly twilight. I know lots of babies this year that are Jacob or Edward :/

Euan is nice too. I kind of always had Toby in the back of my mind, then he just looked like a Toby :) hoping if I keep a couple of nanes in my head then once baby is born we'll just know which is right!

They were on my list, I think I had similar criteria to you - names that everyone has heard of and can spell, but not particularly common or popular!

Finn
Finley
Harry
Samuel
Kyle
Louis
Evan
Elliot
Euan
Ellis
