I don't think I like any boys names enough to give one to my impending son. Please help...

[RightUpMyRue]

This is my list of names, from the MN name finder, which I think are nice. DP has said no to almost all of them but he also hasn't come up with any good alternatives. Finnan is the front runner at the moment (Finnan as a full name but generally known as Finn) but I don't know if I like it enough to use it?

I'm 37 weeks PG. Please inspire me with your clever suggestions

Arlo
Devon
Dylan
Eden
Finn
Finnan
Lucas
Milo
Mylo
Noah
Quinn
Reuben
Roman
Tristan

I like almost all of them,great taste

This may be a case of waiting until the baby's born,and seeing what name he suits best...

Arlo- I absolutely adore it,it's my sons name,but it seems to be growing in popularity pretty fast in some circles.
Devon-no
Dylan- love love love
Eden -no
Finn- Love,but all forms of Finn/Finley etc are very VERY popular,much to my dismay.
Finnan-love,but,as above v popular.
Lucas- popular,but nice
Milo-like it (but it is a brand of drink in Australia,if that would bother you.)
Mylo-no
Noah-I like it
Quinn- hmm,I like it,I think
Reuben- love this
Roman- no
Tristan- I like this a lot ,and I've only ever known one.

We had a DD but we said if it was a boy it would be Lucas or William. We loved Archer as a middle name. We also liked Randolph but worried he would be called Randy. It definitely wouldn't have matched the surname. Oh, the teasing!
What are your husband's suggestions, if he doesn't like yours?

I didn't like any names when DC2 was imminent (except what DH had vetoed ) and felt very lacklustre about what we did choose.

But it does suit him, and the names I liked wouldn't. I'm sure in a few months' time you'll be quite happy.

Thanks all for the suggestions so far.

Still nothing grabbing me and saying "that's my boy!".

It may have to be a case of seeing his face first and then deciding (although we've sort of seen his face already- 3d scan pic on profile).

Love Quentin, nickname Quinn!

Also like Elliot, Reuben, Roman and Tristan.

How about Declan

You won't know til you meet him. It took us a week to name DD!

I'd avoid Finn as it is VERY widely used and may well start to sound dated as people tire of using it.

I love Arlo, Quentin, Quinn and Reuben from the suggestions.

Or how about Magnus, Sebastian or Darius?

Leo

Cian (Keen)

Dominic

Daragh (Dara)

:)

Also

Toby

Robin

I'd avoid Finnan because for me, it's Finnan haddie (as in smoked fish). But Finn or Finlay is nice - as is Finnbarr. Or Phineas.

Arlo - no
Devon - no no
Dylan - ok
Eden - no
Finn - no
Finnan - no no
Lucas - yes
Milo - no
Mylo - no
Noah - yes
Quinn - reminds me of him in Jaws
Reuben - ok
Roman - no
Tristan - yummy

Lucas or Tristan - sorted! :)

I like Eden very much.

I'm in the Reuben camp (with Noah as a close second).

Robin, as suggested earlier, is lovely.

Also:

Fabian
Luke
Lucien

Finn really is VERY popular, having rapidly risen up the popularity charts. I'd personally avoid it for that reason.

Love Reuben, Quentin, Tristan and Lucas (but less keen on nickname Luke).

I do hear what you're all saying about the popularity of Finn but it doesn't even feature in last years top 100 boys names. Finley and Finlay do but not Finn and definitely not Finnan.

10 years ago I named DD the 4th most popular girls name in the country, without even thinking about whether it was popular or not, and she's the only one in her year of 90 children at school so I'm not overly convinced that popularity is a problem.

What is a problem is that I still can't see myself calling him any name at all Maybe because until he is here I still won't quite believe I'm having another baby.

DP likes Dexter, which I do too but maybe as a middle name? DP would also quite like to call him Jean-Luc or Kirk Tiberius but the less said about that the better

Reuben
Max
Zain
Leo
Theo
Callum
Kyle
Zack
Seb
Joel

Dylan!

Jean-Luc Kirk Tiberius BRILLIANT!

I love Ruben/Reuben, Lucas, Milo, Roman from your list. Roman and Ruben were on our list, too, so slightly biased!

I also like Anton but it made DH throw up in his mouth a little

Adam
Luke
Dominic
Marcus
Evan
Benjamin
William
Edward
Zachary
Laurence

Like Lucas from your list but v popular at the moment. I know a girl called Eden...which would put me off.

But if you add up all the Finns and Finleys and Finlays and Finlay-Joes or whatever, all of whom are known day to day as Fin(n), you end up with a very popular name - like Lily/Lilly/Lillie/Lily-Rose/Lily-May etc.
