So I have a daughter called Belle and due a baby boy in August.
Me and my partner are at a dead end about names we both agree on 100%
We did pick bishop but after a lot of people saying it’s stupid or saying ‘bashing the bishop’ is a rude saying I’ve kinda went off that name and like Bennet more but my partner wants Bishop!
These are some other names I like
Hunter
Oakley
Harrison
Mason
Blake

Help me!!!

If you like Bennett, have you considered Bentley?

I love Bennett! I had it on my loose for dc2 along with;

Marcus
Fergus
Wilfred
Spencer
Vincent

I also like Harrison and Oakley. Similar names; Jackson or Grayson?

DarkRoomDarren · 02/04/2018 11:39

List not loose!

ProfFlitwick · 02/04/2018 11:47

No to Bishop here. If you like Blake and Bennet, what about:
Blaine
Alistair
Emmet

I like Oakley.
Bram

Random fact - You can't use the name Bishop, in a least some parts of Australia! Shock

I presume that your partner is an Alien fan?

madamedepoppadom · 04/04/2018 16:05

I quite like Ben(n)et and Oakley (which is odd, as I always think I don't like surnamey names).

BunnyEars1 · 04/04/2018 22:17

Please don't use Bishop, it's not you who have to live with it!

You obviously like surname, names-

Carter
Cole
Clay
Parker
Taylor
Preston

Couldn't you look at some actual first names? What you have there is a list of surnames.

Mischa123 · 04/04/2018 22:24

How about Thatcher? I have been watching old episodes of Greys Anatomy and have decided I would call my son Thatcher (I have 3DD and am having no more!)

ErrolTheDragon · 04/04/2018 23:09

Why would your partner want to call your child Bishop? Doesn't he know it is a religious title?Confused

Harrison and Blake are fine; I've not come across bennet as a first name but it sounds ok.

stellinaa · 05/04/2018 01:57

Absolutely love the name Blake.

Belle & Blake sound so good together too!

PointlessUsername · 05/04/2018 02:37

Ryder
Beckett
Carson
Lennox
Carter
