Hi everyone, we're currently team yellow but will know what we're having in 12 days.
Currently mulling over some possible boys names to add the list of maybes.
So far we have Jude, George and Elijah. I like all three but I'm not sure if I love any of them IYKWIM?
If I like these names what else would you suggest?
Thanks in advance xx

Thanks, I agree Jude is a lovely name. I stupidly told family about it and they all dislike it (they've said it sounds girly) and now my judgement has been clouded about it. Could kick myself!
Also like Ezra but although I know it's an old name I worry it may seem like a new, faddy name.

My favourite boys name at the moment is Jonah.

Adam
William
Liam
Angus
Blake
Nate
Charlie
Oscar
Owen
Elliot
Noah

But I also like Jude! George is lovely but I'm put off by the link to Prince George. Elijah is nice but will get shortened to Eli which I'm not so keen on.

I'm guessing you like the J sound Smile

John
Jasper
Julian
Jacob
James
Jonathan
Joseph
Jonah
Isaac
Charles
Alistair
Elliott
Peter
Aaron
Oliver
Harrison
Nathaniel
William

summertime, well, no offence to your family or anything, but clearly they have no idea what a gorgeous name is when they hear it Grin.

Still love Jude, but also Jonah and Angus of other suggestions.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/03/2017 07:51

Jago
Jett
Joseph
Jamie
Jared
John
Job
Justin

You could make their day and say you're going with Dylan Apollo, they'd soon rejoice over Jude or Ezra.
Seriously though, the family would come round to whatever name you choose I am sure but in the meantime shall contribute
Sam(uel)
Austin
Another vote for Elias
Wild card: Gideon

(Nobody in your family a Jude Law fan?).

Enjoythelittlethings · 06/03/2017 13:12

How funny, those are my top three names at the moment, in that order! I already have a Jacob and Joseph, and am awaiting ds3's arrival. I love Jude but family members reactions have slightly made me doubt myself, same as you. Others on our list are Zach, James and Leo.

crapfatbanana · 06/03/2017 13:20

Julius, Luca, Greg(ory), Jonathan, Micah, Leo, Arlo, Grayson, Gabriel

Summertime10 · 06/03/2017 20:24

Thanks all! Grin Funnily enough I'd never noticed my penchant for J sounds until you pointed it out, but it actually is a theme haha!
I agree, I think I should have initially suggested a really off the wall name and then the family would have breathed a sigh of relief at my actual choice of names.
Thanks

It still isn't too late OP! Come up with something completely out there and say how you'll never be talked out of it... and then let them talk you into Jude! Grin
