Due in September, no idea what I'm having, girl's name is picked, not a sodding clue what name I'd pick if I have a boy though Blush

Traipsed my way through many a website but please share with me your favourite boy's name so I can -hopefully- come across one I haven't seen yet! Thanks collective mind of mumsnet Wink

Not telling because they're my sons' names and they were bloody hard to decide upon Grin Naming boys sucks. So many gorgeous girls names, it feels like there's 10x the options!!

2 perfect names we cannot use, are Nicholas and Joel.... ah! Perfect!

My eldest son's name, Kit.

I have always loved it. Finding a second one we love just as. I have for our third baby another boy has been tough. He will be called Corin.

Watching for inspiration incase dc2 turns out to be a boy!

GrumpyGoose · 20/07/2017 21:53

@fruityb you and I have very similar tastes but I'm finding they won't work with surname or DP has vetoed 😭

I like the Welsh ones - Geraint, Aneurin, Gethin. Also Lucas, and Berry.

Loopy567 · 20/07/2017 22:34

Caleb - from American Gothic (showing my age here!). Would have wanted this as one of the names if DC2 was a boy.

Savvyandchips · 20/07/2017 22:37

I adore Gabriel. But dh put his foot down. Grrr.

OSETmum · 20/07/2017 22:42

Ruairi is my current favourite apart from ds' name.

bridgetreilly · 20/07/2017 22:49

Please don't anyone name their baby Nadir! Such an awful meaning to have to live with.

NameChange30 · 20/07/2017 22:54

bridget
Hmm
In Arabic, the name Nadir means dearly loved. That's the opposite of awful if you ask me.
Didn't it occur to you that it might have other meanings in other languages and cultures?
