Please help! We still have no boys name. I'm starting to feel really upset as DH and I just can't seem to pick something we both love. We have chosen Esme for a baby girl and both feel excited about it as it feels 'right' . Boys names we have noted just now but none seem perfect :(

Hugo
George
Oscar
Benjamin

What about Jude or Gabriel?

DancingDuck · 26/12/2015 22:48

I just googled 'Esme's brother' to see what people who like Esme liked for boys. Interesting:

First names linked to Esme were:

Emmett
Ellroy
Enzo
Calum
Flynn
Augustus
Milo
Ninnian
Charles

I know a female Jude who really puts me off the lovely name! (Isn't that awful of me??) I like Milo but scared it'll date? Flynn is gorgeous but doesn't go with our surname!

Love Max but it's a close friends sons name sadly. Love Milo but can't see DH liking it - I will try! Love Joshua also but again it's a close friends kids name - goddammit!! Thank you so much for reading and suggesting some names!

Jack again is our best friends son snd Finlay a surname of someone we know who we wouldn't want to share name with. We are a nightmare!!

It's so difficult isn't it?! Especially when other people have beat you to them! Angry. Wink I do think you have some lovely names on your original list though.

DancingDuck · 26/12/2015 23:29

Ezra is lovely. Is that on your shortlist now?
How about Izaak? I love it but DH vetoed it.
Otto?
