Running out of time boy names

[MrsStrowman]

I've found it so difficult to choose a male name, nothing grabs me. We like fairly traditional names but not too popular. Middle name preferably George (family link) which is a bit too popular as a first name for me. DH doesn't have many strong opinions on it, if I really like something he'll be fine.

I don't mind Jude or Jasper but neither go with George and DH says Jasper is pretentious but suggested Julian as an alternative?! (Which I hate).

I did like Dexter, but not sure if too American, not sure we'll ever see a prime minister Dexter etc. I don't like really out there names, apple, sailor, meadow etc and it's important it works for an adult not just a child.

Surname is hyphenated F-S (both two syllables) , so not sure we could use an F name (FFS) , I almost wish I hadn't kept my surname as I quite like it as a first name (Fraser) .

Girl name I'd picked before 20wk scan (Tabitha) if that helps. I've got less than six weeks to go...

Help!

How about...

Leo George
Joseph George
Luke George
Matthew George
Adam George
Alec George

Is it easier if you stop worrying about what goes with the middle name?

Seth George
Levi George
Owen George
Asher George

@AtticaRose I feel like you know half my family! DB, Matthew,
Cousin, Adam,
Nephew, Leo,
Cousin's son, Luke,
Grandfather, Joseph!
Not keen on Alec.

Alfred nn Freddie
Alastair
Sebastian

@arwenearlythereyet not really, if I really loved Jasper or Jude I'd just pick a different middle name, but they are just ok to me.

@moredoll I don't mind Sebastian, Seb as a NN

I also like Seth but live in Essex so it would end up being Seff to lots of people which would drive me insane

Dominic
Samuel
Dylan
Liam
William
Ewan
Owen
Benedict
Thomas
Laurence
Francis (I know it's f but I like it!)
Felix (see above!)

I'm just randomly spouting names lol

My daughter has the middle name Winter. I like it for a boy too if you want a more out there suggestion!

I do like Felix but FFS I just don't know if I could do it! Also same concerns as Dexter, too faddy/American?
Some of the names suggested are fine, but none really make me think yes that's it! What is it about boy names?

Haha, that's what you get with "traditional" names I guess!

I'll keep going, why not :-)

Patrick
Austin
Richard
James
Michael
Christopher
Gabriel
Matthias

Oh, and Bennet.

Is your surname now double-barrelled? Does the baby have to have a double-barrelled surname?
If you are Jane Fraser and your DH John Surname could the baby be Fraser George Surname?

I don't like Sebastian or Jude.

7 weeks to go with a baby boy and we haven’t even discussed names yet so you’ve panicked me with your ‘running out of time’ comment. I thought we had loads of time .

Christian
Edward
Alexander
Raphael
Cassius
Casimir
William
Henry
Harry
Benjamin
Arlo
Emerson
Thomas

@MikeUniformMike DH and I both double barreled when we got married, so both of us and DS will all have the same double barreled surname. His surname is a diminutive of my first name so I wasn't willing to completely change, think Christine Chrissy (not my actual names)

@SoyDora six weeks is plenty of time, but not when you've been discussing names for thirteen weeks and still haven't made any progress!

Atticus George

I found boys names very difficult as I just didn't like any! We ended up with a generic top 10 name that is fine but I don't love it.

George Fraser-Surname sounds good to me.
I'm a fan of traditional, classic names, so Peter, Andrew, Mark, David, Michael, Charles etc would be a suggested first name if you feel George is too popular.

@MikeUniformMike I am coming round to George a bit, and I think any more traditional name is going to be common...

@TwllBach in Essex it would be A'icus to some 😂 it is hard isn't it, I just don't want to saddle him with something awful for the rest of his life
