Can't agree on a boys name

I'm only 30 weeks but have been told our baby boy is likely to be early for various reasons. DH and I still cannot agree on a name and feel like we're going round in circles.

Names DH likes that I've vetoed include:
Milo
Ezra
Arlo
Flynn

Names I like that DH has vetoed include:
Gabriel (nn Gabe)
Alec
Caleb
Ned

Names we both like, but not sure if we love any of them:

Nathaniel (nn Nate)
Seth
Joel
Jesse
Heath

Any feedback on the names we've shortlisted would be much appreciated, as would any ideas of names we might both like based on our preferences. If we can't come to a decision soon I'm tempted to just write our shortlisted names down and draw one out of a hat!

I like Joel, Seth and Nathaniel.

How about Jonah, Elijah or Anthony?

My favourite is Gabriel by a long way.
From your joint list I think the best name is Nathaniel.

Nathaniel is my favourite

How about Jared, Ethan, Luke or Adam?

Enzo?

I love Gabriel but it didn't go with our surname. We have Noah and Elijah (Eli). I loved Jude too.

I really like Nathaniel too!

I like Enzo.

CamberwellNichols · 14/08/2018 20:03

Joel is gorgeous

Redsharks · 14/08/2018 20:03

Caleb, Nate and Joel are my favourites; Joel remains a firm favourite boys name of mine.
