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.

It is my all time favourite name.

In a world with no name clashes (family/close friends/puboic opinion) it would be Robin, Eri (or Eridanus?? )or Orion.

But ultimately the LO would probably Eri (not brave enough for Eridanus or Orion), Nathanael or Arthur...

1horatio · 23/06/2016 12:07

And I like the name Polaris, but that's a gp name...

You might want to explain that to the boy who bullied my son for years.

It's funny how different names have different connotations to different people. I like the name, it was on my list (for bullied son) but vetoed by DH who associated it with an ex girlfriends dad who was a bully....

I have known loads of other Frasers who aren't bullies, just a coincidence. :)

SatansLittleHelper2 · 23/06/2016 12:39

The ones I know have always been lovely 😂😂😂 But like Jonathans......

I'm the same with the name Laura, always conjures up the name of a sly, bullying cowbag Angry

ha ha, I know a few and it would apply to one of them, another is the extreme opposite and the rest are in-between.

It's okay when it's a reasonably popular name as you will have a mixture of experience to call on, when you get someone with an unusual name that is a horrible person it totally kills the name.
