If I like Clara for a girl, what would I like for a boy?

[Choirofangles]

Apparently DC2 is a boy and we're completely stuck for ideas. Can anyone help? I was convinced we were having another girl until the scan. So much for intuition.

Curtis?

My intuition failed on all my gender guesses too for three pregnancies...

I LOVE the name Clara, and I like the boy's names: Jesse, Daniel, Jospeh, Gilbert (not sure I'd be brave enough, but am a big Anne of Green Gables fan)

Ronan
Shay
Scott

Thomas

Elliot
Isaac
Matthew
Hugo
James

Theodore,
Luca,
William

Arthur

Edward
James
William

Nathaniel
Elijah
Leo

DD's best friend is called Clara. Her little brother is called Joseph.

Clara was on my list - lovely name

For boys I would have gone for...

Arthur
Nathaniel (Nat)
Jude
Thaddeus
Arlo
Barnaby

Freddy
Albert

Henry
Jasper
Edward
Casper
Felix
Alexander
Benjamin
Isaac
James
Lucas
Leo
Max
Nathaniel
Oscar
Peter

I love Clara, so maybe we have similar taste in boys' names too:

Isaac/Izaak
Samuel
Raphael
Otto
Theo
Alfred
Wilfred
Edmund
Edward
James

Zachary
Elias
Saul
Jonah

Thanks so much for all the replies. There are some names I really like on there but they belong to close relatives.

There's also my absolute favourite boy's name, which DP won't even consider.

Instead of hoping for a magic perfect name to drop from the sky, I think we need to examine more closely our reasons for ruling out names...

Rory
Clarke
Carter
Carlton
Charles

Which is your absolutely favourite name? I loved Izaak but DH refused, saying he'd be ridiculed. Then loads of Isaacs and Izaaks turned up at school and no one thought it was weird. People are far more accepting of variations in names these days. Not everyone has to be called William or Oliver (though those are good names too!)

Ellis
David
Bruce
Lester
Ivan
Martyn
Joshua

Congratulation OP

How about waiting until he arrives so you can see what name he "looks like"?
We made a shortlist of names at least one of us liked and the other didn't actively dislike, and one of those suited him to a T.
I heard of someone who was expecting a girl and decided to call her Stephanie, then when the baby was born her mother looked at her and said "Oh dear, you're not a Stephanie at all, are you? You're a Paula!"

Clara and Fritz (Frederick) are the brother in sister in the Nutcracker. Frederick?

I know a baby Clara & her big brother is Thomas if that's any help.

Elliott, Dominic, Robert, Samuel, Edward

Joseph, Thomas, Robert, James, Theo, Max, Alex, Benjamin
