I'm starting to panic a bit now. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and we still don't even have a short list of baby names we both like. I'm worried we'll wind up just picking a name for the sake of it because our time is up. We know we're having a boy. I like a traditional name but not ones that are overly used and overly popular. We like a strong name too. Any we have liked have already been taken by family/friends. Any suggestions mumsnetters? Some examples of ones we liked but were taken or are just too popular,

Oliver
Charlie
Thomas
Joshua
Edward (NN Teddy)

We do like maximus too which isn't taken but whenever we mention this to family or friends it gets laughed at a bit, people don't realise they can give too much of an opinion clearly.

You need to stop talking to people about your name choices if the sneers bother you!

Oh sorry, I just saw that you've stopped Grin

Honestly? You don't see why anyone might raise an eyebrow at Maximus??

Go with what you love or you'll regret it. Maximus is fitting perfectly with what your after, the suggestion of Maxwell is a good one as it has more of a homely feel to it.
