My OH and I discovered last week that we have are having a little boy (currently 22 weeks pregnant). We've had mixed reactions - delighted he is well and healthy at the scan, step into the unknown as all my baby experience with relatives etc is with girls, blah blah - ultimately we've now got our heads around it and are excited ... but we only had girls names ready! We spent ages talking about 'Maggie' before we found out the sex, but had no name ready for a boy. We have one possible contender (Albert) that we both come and go with. Has anyone else had a real mental stumbling block with boys names because they were so convinced they were having a girl - and does anyone have any good suggestions that aren't too 'top 10', would suit a baby, a boy, a teenager, and a man, and is perhaps a bit old fashioned?!

Surprised by finding out we're having a boy, have no names at all!

I'm kind of in the same boat. We pretty much have a girls name picked and even have a back up. But no boys names that we can agree on.
Finding out the sex next Friday, so the only reason I'd want it to be a girl is that we are more prepared! Lol
He loves Toby, I love George. Neither will be chosen as we vetoed each other 
DS2 is Albert nn Bertie and DS1 is Alfred nn Freddie. Both of these were Top Ten names 100 years ago
