If you're expecting a boy, what are you calling him? Or have you got a shortlist?

Ezra
Jonah
Nathaniel

Mcakes · 28/12/2017 17:36

I am finding it hard to choose potential boys names so am looking for ideas too!
Keep changing my mind but generally like 'soft but strong' names. Current favourites are:
Jake
Evan
Seth

Leon.

Also on the shortlist was:
Reuben
Aidan
Lawrence
Jasper

cornishmumtobe · 28/12/2017 20:46

We're quite settled on Finn currently

user1459464195 · 28/12/2017 20:48

Assuming DH didn't have a say.... son would be one of these:

Jonah William
Jacob Thomas
Thomas Aaron
Joshua Ethan
Samuel Elliot

Littlelambpeep · 28/12/2017 20:49

If I had another it would be James or Thomas. Also like Sean and Hugh.

Wait4nothing · 28/12/2017 20:51

Tomos James

We aren’t finding our sex though

Kpo58 · 28/12/2017 20:51

Currently thinking of Axel.

Joeybee · 28/12/2017 21:04

Team yellow so far,

But if it is a boy I'm all set for Hugo. Got to convince Husband of it!
Not sure on middle name.

I also love Alexander as a potential first name.

For middle names, I dunno, either Bryan (after my Husband), Nathaniel or Elliot.

Insomnibrat · 28/12/2017 21:09

Robin

FoggieFishieCarpeDiem · 28/12/2017 21:21

Probably Benedict Grin

But I also like Louis and a few other names...

PandaCat · 28/12/2017 21:35

If this baby was a boy, she would have been Rory.

Saying that less than 3 months to go, sonographer could be wrong, she could be a he! So if she does turn out to be a he, he will be Rory.

Mollie85 · 28/12/2017 21:36

Seth, Theo or Gus

Buntysoven · 28/12/2017 22:20

If this bump had been blue we were having Patrick Edwin

Allgirlskidsanddogs · 28/12/2017 22:25

Jonathan Nicholas

Or Rafferty if I was feeling brave!

LemonysSnicket · 28/12/2017 23:14

Fred
George
Connor

Emmastone123 · 28/12/2017 23:31

Quite a mix! Still have no idea what to call our boy! I have found so many nice girls names... useful, I know! Confused

Smoliver · 28/12/2017 23:58

I've loved the name Henry for year, so I'd probably go with that.

I also like:
James
Finn
Frederick (Freddie for short)
Luke
Liam
Dylan
Samuel
Hector
Declan
Isaac - sadly been taken by a family member, still love it though.

anamelikenoother · 29/12/2017 00:50

We're really struggling with this too OP! So many nice girl's names that no one else (close to us) has used but all the boys names I like have been used by family or just don't feel right.

We have just over a week to go and this is our list:

Louis
Leo
Rex
Robin
Reuben
Ellington
Elliot
Elliot
Emmett
Sebastian
Jude
Kester (nn Kit)
Baxter
Bennett

Good luck with yours!
