Me and hubby have been discussing baby names and although we have got a girl's name we like there is not a single boys name that either of us can say, "I like it."

We are having a sexing scan in 3 weeks and hopefully they will say it's a girl otherwise we are screwed Grin

We just don't like ANYTHING!!

I need some inspiration - what are you ladies calling your boys lately???

Maybe if it's a boy you should just give him a girl's name.

PollyPlummer · 21/09/2013 21:17

What girls names do you like ?

Just to get an idea of what sort of thing you like Smile

I like

The girls name we like is Zoe Caroline (and then our surname which is 1 syllable) Smile

My husband is looking through lists of boy's names and of course is trying to be funny by only calling out the ridiculous ones..... Smile

Have you considered Jupiter?

Writerwannabe83 · 21/09/2013 21:36

I like Joseph - but it has too many religious connotations for us. It is a lovely name though Smile

PrincessFlirtyPants · 21/09/2013 21:36

I think they are! I vetoed Hunter on the basis I'm a vegetarian, so not exactly pro-hunting! Grin I secretly think its a very cool name!

( I think I was on the conception "bus" when you found out you were pregnant Smile )

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 21/09/2013 21:37

Isaac is my favourite boys name. Did you know it means Laughter?

WafflyVersatile · 21/09/2013 21:38

Anderson

AlisonL1981 · 21/09/2013 21:39

I was the same, as soon as I found out I was pregnant we had picked a girls name, couldn't think of a single boys name so it was inevitable that I'd be carrying a boy! We argued over names for about 3 weeks before deciding on Harry x
