Because I'm having one in 10 weeks and I still have no idea.

Names we like:

Finley
Louie
Edwin

But I don't LOVE any of them and keep going off them.

Middle name will be Jimmy.

Please help!!!
I had a girls name I loved but it's 100% a boy.

Alexander.

Other possibles...Xander, Heath, Andrew, Sebastian, Marcus (not using all six, obviously)

ample · 20/06/2016 23:37

LittlePeterRabbit I like Edwin. One name may grow on you in time, even at the last minute or after

Sophronia · 20/06/2016 23:44

Samuel or Alexander

Gabriel.

sofato5miles · 21/06/2016 06:08

Gregory

dogdrifts · 21/06/2016 06:18

Toby, Theo, Sebastian.
All names we would have used if the dd's had been ds's.
I am boggled that they have appeared here so many times! I haven't been pg for 13 years, and at that point everyone loathed our boy's list!! Clearly peaked too early...

strawberrypenguin · 21/06/2016 06:29

Dexter was vetoed by my DH for the 4 week old currently asleep on me! We also liked but didn't end up using Miles.

Pipilangstrumpf · 21/06/2016 06:45

Caspar

or

Quentin

Heatherbell1978 · 21/06/2016 07:19

I'm pregnant with #2. If I get my own way (and he's a boy) it'll be Harry. We have a Charlie already.

DinosaursRoar · 21/06/2016 07:30

If I was having a boy now, he'd be Benedict, known as Ben. Dc2 would have been Benedict if she'd been a boy. However, if I didn't have to fight with DH over names, Jonty, Jago, Jasper would be on the possible list.

FlyDragonfly1 · 21/06/2016 09:50

I'd name him Rupert or Rufus. Wish I'd been brave enough to use one for DS3!

MackerelOfFact · 21/06/2016 10:28

Casper or Wilbur.

LemonBreeland · 21/06/2016 10:29

Elliot

CourtJester · 21/06/2016 10:41

Riley or Jake

CarrotVan · 21/06/2016 11:08

Felix, Christopher or Nicholas

just5 Kester is a traditional short form of Christopher

margewiththebluehair · 21/06/2016 11:58

Maximo.

timelytess · 21/06/2016 12:02

Jesus - he'd be an immaculate conception.

Or any other Biblical name.

OliveOrTwist · 21/06/2016 12:05

Basil Blush

TempsPerdu · 21/06/2016 13:00

Gabriel
Nicholas
Rufus
Robin
Tobias

Mn would be William

septembersunshine · 21/06/2016 13:56

Same as you op we had a beautiful girls name picked out (which I loved) for our 29 week old bump and we found out today it's a boy! We are going with Aidan. We have a Jack Oscar already. It's so hard. I wanted Oliver but my sister just had an Olivia. I liked Harry and Daniel but my husband liked Frederick (which I didn't). We went back and forth over a few names. It feels like we need a softer sounding name this time.

Other names we considered were:
William
Thomas
Henry
Sebastian
Jacob
James
Luke
Toby

Good luck and keep looking - you'll know when you have found it!

SpoonintheBin · 21/06/2016 14:00

If I had another ds my two other DSs would like to cal him Peter or Finnick like the characters in The Humger Games, but it would probably be Finley. Peter is lovely too!

I like George and Harrison. But not both together obviously. I also like Michael.
