Expecting DC2 in December, so plenty of time to stress think about it, but I'm completely drawing a blank with boys names.
We've given ourselves some difficult 'rules', and I really need some inspiration for boys names.
Here's the rules:
- All of us have names with A as the second letter (not on purpose), so we'd quite like to continue that so this baby isn't left out
- We want to avoid D and H as the first initial - our nephews have these initials and DD is Darcey, so we'd like to avoid the ILs having two sets of grandchildren with the same initials
- Has to go with our very unusual surname that sounds along the lines of Simmons
- DH would rather avoid top 50 names, but this isn't a deal breaker as our surname is so identifiable
On our girls list are Maggie and Martha, and Gabriella is on and off. So far, the only boys name I like that fits our criteria is Jack. Possibly Sam, although I'm not sure about alliterative names.
Other names I like, but have been vetoed or used by friends and family include:
Jasper (DH won't even consider it because it's slang for wasp, although I've never heard of it)
Tate
Gabriel (my favourite, but I just can't call a Christmas baby that)
Rory
Elliot
Toby
Leo
Henry
So, anyone up for a challenge? I would really appreciate some help.
