Thought we'd have a Lara Or Juno but turns out its a BOY! Suggestions needed...

[daughterofafarmer]

Just found out we are having a BOY {eekkk} really thought it would be another girl.

DH and I can't agree at all on boys names. DH likes James, I like Toby. We need a compromise, can you help?

Sounds like he is fixed on James otherwise he wouldn't say no to so many other names. Why not ask him to come up with his top 3? Dh was determined to have a Welsh name for our ds. I really wasn't convinced with his chosen name throughout my pregnancy but by the time he was born Dylan just fitted his name perfectly!

What about
Robert (rob / robbie/ bobby)
Frederick ( Fred / Freddie / rick)
Jules
Jonathan
John

I think James is a lovely name and I don't know any little James' at all. Lots and lots and lots of big James' though. Which is why we could never use it, as half my ex boyfriends were called James or a variant of.

Seamus
Sean
Hamish
Jeremy
Coby
Jacoobi
Jago
Jason
Andrew
Julian
Jed
Matthew
Hunter
Lawrence

BRENDAN

You both have to love the name. I let my dh chose the name for my ds and it still doesn't work for me, although I adore my little boy. My girls have traditional Victorian names from my side and my ds has what can only be described as a really Middle Eastern name from my dh. My dcs names don't match. Apart from our stupid surname:)

Brodie
Orlando
Alexander (here is commonly abbreviated to Sasha)
Leo
Brian Lara Surname

floss I agree. However it's a joint decision and I'm not budging Mature

Can't use Frederick as much as I love Freddie. Is already been used within the family.

Robert - poss mn

Hamish is on the list. Would it be odd having Honor and Hamish?

Lawrence I have suggested but DH isn't convinced.
Hunter - good I wish I was this brave, don't think we could pull it off?

Brodie - warming to it. However I do know 1 and when he was name my father laughted for days!

Leo - Flat no from DH.

Orlando - same as Hunter

Thank you all

The thing is Honor, Lara and Juno are all quite unusual edgy names. James is nice..... but in my mind just nice.

Thinking of other children I've come across

Eli
Sascha
Lars
Cameron
Luca
Lucas
Theodore
Findlay
Alexei
Jackson
Solomon
Asa

Cameron or Campbell

Flynn
Max
Rory
Henry
Fred
Stanley
Michael
Rupert
Leo
Charles
Dylan
Milo
Percy
Lucas
Luke
Riley

Aiden?
James nn Jack?
Corin?
Adam?

James nn Jack?

Jack is the usual nn for John not James.

James is nn Jamie or Jim or Jimmy or even sometimes Jamesie in Scotland :)

Night you ave hit the nail on the head. I see Honor as being quite a strong punchy name, known but not well know. Still gutted about Juno, hugely so. So only one thing for it....DC3

I do quite like Lucas (is it popular?)

Campbell is good, being Scottish I do like it.

Names like Finn etc don't work with our surname. Max works well, However it's the only person DH every punch was called Max he was 10 Milo is a but too hippy for us, however I do like it.

Posted too soon...
What do you guys think of Honor and Tristan?

That's funny I just came on to suggest Tristan. I love it.

Also love Elias.

Conrad
Bertram (Bertie)
Peter

I do like Nicholas and I dont see to many around

I don't like Tristan but that's only because I know a horrible Tristan.

It's a shame when that happens isn't it Chicken. There's loads of names I had to rule out due to dodgy associations.

For example I love the names Christian and Anastasia but E L James has somewhat ruined them for me

Don't think Lucas is that popular.
Tristan- I knew one who was kind but wet...think it could grow on me though

Some more names:-

Jenson
Bertrand
Rex
Jared
Xavier
Atticus
Emmett
Ezra
Gabriel
Rafe

Yes it is a shame. I really like my ex's name but that's obviously a no-go. We're not in touch but are friends on fb so would be weird, let alone hubby's reaction!

What about Jago, the Cornish version of James?

Jonty?

Laro, Jude?
