I'm rubbish with boys' names

[Jolleigh]

I'm only 10 weeks gone so plenty of time yet...

I've thought of loads of girl names I just click with but after hours and hours and hours of searching, every single boy name I either hate or neither like or dislike. This is not going to be ideal if it turns out I'm carrying a little boy!

I wouldn't want anything too common but I'd also not want it to be really outlandish.

Help! (pretty please)

I'm the same - boys are hard to name. Some from my list that might fit your criteria are:

Dominic
Rowan
Isaac
Felix
Dexter
Oscar
Miles
Rory

Any good?

We have Dominic in my ok-ish list. The rest I would really hate to call my own child...despite loving the names for other people's children!

I loved Bruce up until I told my brother and he shouted "Nice to see you, to see you..." and now I think of Bruce Forcyth whenever I think of the name lol.

Sebastian is nice but I've only known Sebastians with really snobby mummies (though I'm sure there are lovely Sebastian mummies out there! )

I'm utterly hopeless!

I like Ernest but keep thinking of sesame street

I did actually like Dexter for a while until I thought about Dexter's Lab the cartoon!

Theodore (Teddy nn)
Barnaby
George
Tobias
Solomon
Marcus
Frederick

Winky...we're along the right tracks with Theodore, but I'd hate it shortened to Theo...much prefer Teddy but Theo is more common I think and will more likely be used when the baby has grown.

Do I just think too much into this? ?

Felix & Ruben

Mermaid - really sorry but it falls into my hate hat...it's an American slang term for being sick and reminds me of the simple kid from the Simpsons lol.

Not for me BeCool...no strong feelings for or against really I'm just not too keen.

Wrt Theodore, to some extent you can say how you want your ds to be known. Bit then he will have his own preferences.

Magnus ?

How about some 80's revival names:

Philip
Peter
Simon
Matthew
Christopher
Adrian
Robert

Nicholas

Nicholas is just about perfect. Nick nn. Translates well internationally in every language. Not too common. Solid adult name cute baby name could be Nicky or Nico.

Lucas Henry Joshua Jacob Mateo Alexander William are others I like

Oooh Robert and Nicholas are nice!!!! Nico is fab!!

Like Ernest. Sorry, but Bruce is awful.

Bram/Abraham
Jeremy/Jem
Laurence
Vincent
Frederick
Bartholomew/Barty
Barnaby or Barnabas
Jude
Hector
Matthias

Haha, yep everyone seems to hate Bruce

I don't like Bruce and think that is the same kind of name as Eric, so you might like Eric.

I do actually quite like Eric couldn't picture giving that name to a baby though.

Clive
Albert
Marcus
Otto
Orson
David
Stephen/Steven
Adam
Victor
Gerald
Frasier
Niles... guess who's been watchng

Wtf??
Guess who's been watching what!

Anyhoo, I digress...

Gregor
Martin
Glen
Christopher = Chris, Topher
Austin
Peter
Warren
Xavier
Noel

...there must be something out there! Do you have any specific likes/dislikes/rules? Eg, nothing 70s, must be three syllables, can't begin with S etc?

Elias? Nn Eli.

James
William
Alexander
Patrick
David
Johnathon
Daniel
Alfred
Arthur

Congratulations
