38 weeks and still can't decide on boys name

[chelle85]

I'm due in 2 weeks and we found out at 16wks baby will be a boy. We had girls names sorted but despite weeks of trying I still can't find a boys name I love.

The main contenders currently are Lucas and Lewis. I like both names but don't love them. Other names we have considered include:

Oliver
Jack
Aaron
Aiden
Daniel
Liam
Dylan
Alex (DH likes this but I don't think it works with surname and don't like the longer Alexander)

Our surname is 3 syllables starting Ell so I think shorter names sound better

Help!

Lovely names. I like Jack and Aiden best from your list.

I wouldn't worry too much. I often think when you can't settle on a name. It means the baby has already name themselves. He'll probably come out with a name written all over him. Although it may not be one youve short listed.

I like all of them except Aiden and Aaron.

Other short names: Jago, Luca, Hugo, Zak, Kai, Levi, Elliot, Sam, Max, Milo

Felix?

From your list, I like ;
Jack
Daniel
Dylan
Liam

Suggest - Caleb, Adam, Simon, Joseph, Louis, Rory and Russell.

I love Oliver Jack Daniel and Dylan.

Hate Aaron.

Louis is lovely, but don't like Lewis.

If the last name is Ell.....I would probably not use the softer L sound in the first name ideally.

So Jack.

Or Joseph, Adam, James, Ben, Thomas.

My favourites from your list are Aiden and Aaron.

My least favourites are Dylan and Liam, and I'm not keen on Alex.

Ted, Caleb, Caspar, Theo, Atticus, Henry

They're all names I love.

The only one i like is Oliver but I don't think it works with your surname either. :-(

I work with kids and find Aiden and Liam naughty boy names (although other people will jump to disagree with me I'm sure!).

Oliver and jack are very popular - does that bother you?

Lucas and Lewis are nice. What about Luke, Louis, Luca, Laurence/Laurie, Alexis, Arran?

I also like babyspider's advice that he may well name himself

Haha notatypicalsausage...I don't work with kids but said to my husband I think Jack is a naughty name. I have no idea why!!

Adam appears a couple of times in the suggestions above...quite like that. Levi is a bit of a family name but DH hates it. Not keen on Hugo, Caspar etc. Just sound too posh for a northerner lol.

Don't worry. DS was nameless for the first 6 days of his life. It happens more than you would think!

Dylan is my favourite from your list.

Names used in the north.... colleagues etc..

Abram
Hadrian. Rather than Adrian
Leigh
Malcolm
Jacob as opposed to Jack
Branwell
Francis/Frank
Frederick/Derek
Stuart
Andrew
Julian
Mark
Christopher /Kit
Peter
Hector
Mungo

Tho the last are a bit er aspirational.. but I love Hector.

I like Lucas :)

Have you considered Alexandru to get Alex or Alexis

Lewis is a great name IMO!
