Really stuck!

[MrsZumbaDancer]

Struggling for boys and girls names and I have 6 weeks left! DH likes 'normal' names so won't entertain anything slightly unusual. Ds is Max and really suits him- it was the only boys name we liked!

So far our only boy name we agree on is Henry, but think it sounds a bit posh for us!
Girls names we like are Lila and Charlotte.. But nothing is jumping out at us.

Most of our friends have boys do a lot of names are already taken!

Henry isn't particularly 'posh', I think it's lovely

Craig
Sam
Ben
John

Henry's nice, but if it really doesn't feel right, how about Harry? Tbh I loved DS's name from the age of about 14, but had doubts about it until he was about 2 months old. Now it totally suits him.

Other suggestions:
Logan
William
Lucas
James
Sebastian
Edward
Matthew
Rory

I love Henry!

Have either of you got any family heritage you'd like to honour - Celtic, whatever? It may help narrow things down.

What about Harry rather than Henry.
Other suggestions.
For a girl.
Laila
Lilia
Louisa
Liza
Lana (you could always spell it. Larna to avoid the 'Anal' thing.

Henrietta for a girl?
Felicity
Beatrice
Alexandra
Eliza
Penelope

Duncan,
Samuel,
Andrew
Digory
Thomas

Boys names that I think have a similar 'feel' to max:
Joel
Lucas
Dexter
Fergus
Bruce
Clive (only joking )

Girls - Isla and Charlotte are both pretty and feminine, how about:
Isla
Jade
Heidi
Florence
Demelza
Delilah
Sienna
Beatrice/x

Possibly Harry? It's a bit less "formal" than Henry.

I have a little cousin named Max and his brother is Jack. They go together well, IMO.

I like both Lila and Charlotte. Lila Charlotte is a nice combination.

I love the suggestion of Lucas - it goes perfectly with Max I think!

I really like Harry abut have 2 friends with a little boy called Harry.. And Lucas was a new favourite until recently when another friend called her boy that!

I like Jack, no friends babies called that, just a boy at swimming who is really naughty 😂

I like William (Will), don't mind James.. A lot if the other names above are 'taken'. We have a lot more choice with girls!

My son is Max Edward, kind of wish I'd saved Edward now!

Thanks for the replies appreciate it 😊

Harvey is similar to Henry? How about that as an option?

For girls, how about...
Samantha
Stephanie
Sara
Lyra
Eliza
Eloise
Keira
Joanna
Josie
Coraline
Tara

Harley intead of Henry and Harry?

Brothers of the Max's I know:

Jack

Lila is very pretty, Lily could be an idea if you wanted something more conventional.

Love Will
Some more ideas:

Edgar
Edmund
Luca
Lucian
Joseph/Joe
Heath
Frank

Lillian
Lara
Esther
Elise
Anna
Zara

Boys:

Michael
Dominic
Gregory
Philip
Patrick
Matthew

Girls:

Julia
Lyra
Marianne
Leah

I really like Luca.. My best friend is due any day and I know that's on her list so I might lose another name possibility!

Really like Anna and Eliza too..

Not too keen on Harley/harvey

I think boys might be Will/Henry/Jack/Sam and girls Lila/Charlotte/Anna

Cheers for the replies

Edmund?
