I am so stuck on a boys name.
Since I was a child I have liked Brandon. I also like Rhys (I am part welsh). But OH doesn't like either.
He likes Logan Hmm and the first name needs to go with the middle name Matthew (family thing).
I sort of like Damien (but my mum moans about the Omen film!).

Ive always liked Calab but dp doesnt so we have 5 ds but no Calab.

Very nearly got my way as it took so long to name ds5 but I coulsnt do it in the end as dp dislikes it so much

I love Elias but no more dc for us so will never use it.

Also loved Dexter but sounded terrible with surname.

Do you like the surnames as first names trend? My US relatives go to school with a Parker and a Davis. Also thought of:
Ezra
Ivan/Ivo
Jude
Connor
Travis
Jackson
Lewis
Hywel
Clarke
Rowley
Sheridan.
On another thread I've just mentioned finding the (boy's) name Thayne, which I've never heard before but quite like.

I love Barnaby. DH doesn't.

He seized the opportunity to bestow DS with his preferred name after a 30 hour induction and EMCS. I like DS's name, but there are hundreds of them in our area. I wanted something unusual for him.

tammytoby · 27/09/2013 12:51

If you like Brandon and Damian and your dh likes Logan how about these similar names (well, in that they are 2 syllables and end in n):
Adrian
Rowan
Reuben
Quentin
Cassian
Brendan

If my oh could have his way our son would have any marvel characters name! Hence he likes Logan (Wolverine).
I like Travis, good call EldritchCleavage

Oh good!
Marvel, eh? Get him to come up with a list. You never know, you might find something you really like.

Clargo55 · 27/09/2013 14:50

Elias

Lol mumof2 I've actually suggested Aurora, Arietty and Ariella to DH but he has vetoed them all! Really wish I hadn't used up Alyssa as DD1's middle name. We've got a shortlist now at least though as of last night Hmm

DizzyPurple · 28/09/2013 16:42

Elliott

Sadie204 · 28/09/2013 16:51

Ooops forgot to post the rest lol!

I like Lucas but not Luca so much.
Love Tobias but we couldn't use it as it's OH cousin
Not keen on Lucien/Tristan/Elijah
Actually really like Xander, bit more unusual
Love the rest.

Depends on your surname though. We can't use Rhys as our surname is only one syllable and sounds silly together. Think they all sound fine with Matthew as middle name but think the ones that sounds best are Logan/Brandon/Rhys/Xander.

mumof2aimingfor4 · 28/09/2013 17:12

Thank you Sadie, surname is Gill so an easy one to go with. I love the name Alba for a girl if your still looking for names? Love Alyssa!

Jamie, Hector, Thierry

ZenNudist · 28/09/2013 22:41

Damian is nice. I think the omen ref is so old as to be irrelevant.

Littlecherublegs · 28/09/2013 22:48

Current favourites are:
Nathan
Leon
Joseph
Aidan / Hayden
Christian
Anthony
Lewis
Shaun
Daniel
Simon
Joel
Zachary
Marcus
Jared
Caleb
Jacob
Ciaran
Justin
Harrison
Isaac

Littlecherublegs · 28/09/2013 22:53

Oh and should have said I like Luca / Lucas (& Luke), Tobias and Elijah from your list.

Foosyerdoos · 28/09/2013 22:57

Fergus
Kier
Innes
Lachlan

mumof2aimingfor4 · 29/09/2013 09:50

My DS due in February will be Leo Elliot. These are the ONLY boys names I liked! I'm sure I liked more before I became pregnant but hormones do weird things to your body!
