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???

Love Alfie!

Writerwannabe83 · 21/09/2013 21:45

drholmes - we did consider Leo actually! Hubby said he liked it, as do I, but then he said he knew someone else who had a Leo and so the idea was scrapped Sad

Inclusionist - apart from Zack, they are just too 'out there' for us Grin

Aw but does it really matter? If you like the name I wouldnt pan it just cause you know someone else with it. Seems a shame.

Joey, Jules, Julian, Julius -like from arnie in "twins". Sam.

Peter must be due a revival surely? I have not heard of a single one in the past few years.

I'm having the same problem! Our little boy is due in 13 weeks, yes that's right, Christmas Day, and we still can't decide on a name we both like! My husband can't even find ONE boy's name he likes, where I did a bit better with my pathetic list of 4 (Brody, Callum, Sebastian and Mason!) xx

wiltingfast · 23/09/2013 15:02

John? Great name and you just never hear it nowadays.

Also

Barney/Barnaby

Milo

If Leo is out, how about Leon?

Luke/Lucas

Amos

wiltingfast · 23/09/2013 15:03

Isaac also a great name.

Alexander? Owen? I like really old fashioned names so won't offer you any of the names I adore but I think these two are more modern. Other names at my son's day care are Jacob, Edward, Ezekiel, Cameron, Felix, Samuel, Oscar, Xavier....

Any good?

EstelleGetty · 24/09/2013 08:52

How about:

Leonard - could be Leo or Lennie for short
Edward - whole manner of nicknames, like Teddy, Ed, Ted, etc

TwickyWoo · 27/09/2013 14:05

Oh gosh - glad it isn't just us then. I had lots of lovely girls names, but we can't decide on one boys name! I'm due in 12 weeks and now know we're having a boy, so still plenty of time left, but we've been looking and talking about it since we knew we were pregnant so I'm starting to feel the pressure - lol!

Dylemma · 27/09/2013 14:52

If DD had been a DS, our names were Alex, Miles, Leo, Theo and Johnny (John for bcert).

Happy to share Smile

UriGeller · 27/09/2013 14:54

Joe. I want another baby so I can call him Joe.

Sadie204 · 27/09/2013 20:12

For DC4 we had already picked a boys name (Connor), chosen straight away so typically she is minus a winkie lol! Having a hard time choosing girls names this time as we used up all the ones we liked with DD1 and DD2. Our DS is called Dylan and chose his name pretty quickly. Our 2 older girls would probably have been called Brandon and Riley if they were boys (although quite pleased now as I've changed my mind about both and don't like them as much as I did then)

CPtart · 27/09/2013 20:28
