We found out today that dc2 is a boy. It has really thrown us as i was not expecting a boy due to being from a family full of girls! We already have a dd who is 4. We had a name already if dc2 was a girl and hadnt really given boy names a thought!

So please give me some ideas.

Oh and Silas.

I LOVE Silas but it sounded awful with our surname Sad

I'm using Gabriel for a boy. And giving him Patrick for his middle name. Patrick is in honour of my mum.
I like strong names. Such as
Tom
Paul
Kevin
None of those faddy names.

Thanks for the suggestions but none of them are grabbing me.

My daughters name really turned my head when i first heard it and stayed with me for ages afterwards and i still love her name now so im looking for something that gives me the same feeling.

BobbieDog maybe have a look through some baby name sites and find some names that you at least like, if not love, and then make a thread asking for names based on those... Just asking for boys names in general, well, there's a lot of them! So it'd be quite lucky if someone stumbled upon your perfect name in 50 comments...
