30weeks and top of our list is Winston but we're not 100% sure if it's the one.

Other names I really like but have been ruled are:

Lucian
Woody
Elton
Julius
Niall
Joel
Henry

I prefer names that cannot be shortened.

Surname begins with B

And sister is Lottie :) not short for Charlotte

Great names, why do you need more?

Lucian - v cool
Woody - nice, unusual
Elton - no
Julius - posh
Niall - no, ugly
Joel - fantastic
Henry - nice, but a bit boring compared to the others

I like Lucian, but worry the boy would be called Lucy. I live in a bit of a rough area!

Please not Elton, unless you really like Candle in the Wind.

If I hadn't gone the poncy biblical route, I'd have gone for Paul.

Albie will be our boys name. Another vote for Arlo, and really like Adam too.

Just to prove I don't just like names beginning with A, I also love Niall and Joel but have been ruled out by DH too!

KLou1105 · 24/10/2015 18:08

MamaLazarou I like Nelson Lincoln and Vincent from your list, will share will dp and see what he thinks. So far Austin is now a very stronge contended with Winston. I also love Oswald/Ozzie but don't think dp will x
