26 replies

LouLou030783 · 28/02/2016 12:25

Ok so we have girls names narrowed down but boys names are proving an absolute nightmare. I love ash OH not so keen

He hates everything Ben Sam I've read through the whole baby book nothing is taking his fancy

He's doesn't want anything with b, j, e or d so his initials are bp jp etc

Please help

I like Rory.
Christopher? Maybe something long to 'balance' the short surname?

Our DS is called Sachin.
You can nick that if you like! He's not a Patel but another Indian surname.
Get lots of positive comments about his name, and no stupid NNs (yet- he's 2)

Continue with the Irish thing then?

Cormac
Aiden
Fergus
Dillon
Finbar/Finn/Fintan
Shane/Sean
Seamus

If you want something Asian, I like khalid. I think it goes well with Ciaran. If it's something more Eurooean, I like James, Rory and Sebastian.

Aaron was my first thought

Nospringflower · 28/02/2016 20:35

I know an Ajay Patel so in my mind that goes.

Nospringflower · 28/02/2016 20:43

But love Khalid too.

He hates absolutely everything that's been suggested I think he's secretly hoping it's a girl hence why he's so reluctant to agree on boys names

Dogadviceneeded · 28/02/2016 21:21

Are there any family names you could use?

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 28/02/2016 23:24

Well what does he suggest then? Confused

LouLou030783 · 29/02/2016 06:39

The only family name i like is ash (his full name is actually Assis) but he's been called ash forever

Lol he suggests no names there's not one boys name he's come up with (without it being a joke) and everything in the baby book he doesn't like

I'm thinking I just leave it be and then name baby once it's born Wink

Ask him to give you 10 names he likes if he's rejecting all yours. If he can't decide then you can name the baby.

IMurderedStampyLongnose · 29/02/2016 06:44

Ronan?

Dogadviceneeded · 29/02/2016 07:06

I think your plan is right Smile

Ash is a lovely name. Asher is good too if you want something a bit different.

Good luck!

powertotheparslaii · 07/03/2016 23:29

Sohan?

AKissACuddleAndACheekyFinger · 07/03/2016 23:33

Arthur!!

(I suggest Arthur to everyone because I wish I had used it. I now am hoping to live my life vicariously through others)
