So we have some names that we sort of agreed to be on our shortlist. Dh wants a strong name that is not "weird" and means he won't get picked on or be at all unique on the name front . I have suggested many names I like that he instantly vetoes because they are too unusual/not British sounding/weak. Unfortunately having accepted a shortlist was underway and leaving it a few weeks ago, I have come back to think of them now the due date is closer and am uninspired!!!

So here is the list we have:

Rory
Heath (will only be middle name due to surname though, sounds too much like Heath Ledger for us to be comfortable)
Jack
Jamie

Below is a list of names I liked but he has vetoed Sad

Sylvan (which I love)
Evander
Sylvester
Rafael
Rafe
Casper
Lex
Soren
Jay
Rowan (apparently not strong enough...)
Rustan (Rusty)
Sacha
Roscoe
Louis
Sullivan (he doesn't like names that are surnames apparently)
Raymond
Brook

These are two I don't know whether to bring up... only to get shot down!

Coty
Greyson

For matching purposes older sibling dd is Kaitlin Meadow. Surname ends in -er which is a spanner in the works for lots of good names since we dislike the rhyme (though if brilliant it might be workable). Definitely after a naturey middle name to match dd's.

Anyone got any clever ideas? Cos I'm out...!

Hadn't done the Google test! Though not sure that his generation will be aware of him either... I am obviously very uneducated!

akorda thanks. I'd have Robert actually but its my dad's name and that sets a precedent we don't want (especially since HIS dad was Robert too!)

Robinson for a first name is ACE. Really hope you use it!

I love Rory, in fact my mum was going to call me Rory if I had been a boy and I would have been very happy with it.
Not common
Not weird

A good strong name that people will remember and possibly won't know another

I don't like any of yours to be honest. What about Toby, Jamie, James, Conrad or Nathan. All favourites of mine.

daholster · 15/03/2015 13:56

scrambled two of your names are on my list! Dh vetoed Nathaniel. I like Jamie and it's on the short list.

Rory, Jamie, Robinson, Jack, Monty... mn Heath. That's the short list!

I shall accept your vote as Jamie Heath then Grin
