Yes, I know neither of them are the most interesting names, but they are the only two DH and I both like.

Middle name will be David. Little brother to Eve.

Why don't you choose the one YOU love most?

Because I don't LOVE either of them I love Barnaby and Leo, but DH won't even consider either.

Joshua

Planning to use Samuel for DS, due this summer, but couldn't use Joshua anyway because DB and DSIL have bagsied it

They're both lovely names though, OP, so you can't go wrong.

Samuel

Samuel. But both are lovely!

I'm due this summer too mummybare - end of July

Joshua

Samuel

Aww, congrats. I'm due end if August. But I tell you what: I won't 'bagsie' Samuel if you want to use it - just because I'm nice like that

I got put of Joshua by someone on another forum where they referred to their child's name.She always referred to her ds as Joshua and it didnt sound right, but I know loads of teenage boys called Josh who are really lovely. I am also a bit biased as have a Samuel, but he is known as Sam.

Samuel

erm - if you don't love either of them then maybe you need to keep searching for a name you both love?

You love Barnaby and Leo - but your dh is more conservative?

Liam/Leon
Freddy/Archie
Jacob/Jonah/Jake
Frank

Just some sibling names/similar names to the ones you love....

There are no boys names we both love. Believe me, we have looked.

Joshua! but I agree with the poster who suggested Jacob! One of my favourite names and I can't use it as it's my brothers name and he said I can't :(

oh and I know that feeling Ruth... dp has either vetoed the names I love or we can't use them due to other people in the family... and I spent most of my childhood flicking through name books and daydreaming about having kids!

Both lovely.

I prefer Joshua.
