Help me! The clock is ticking!

I'm due in 10 weeks, a little boy. We have a DD and her name came so naturally. We literally have no names for DS! No list, nothing. Every name just sounds wrong I can't explain it and starting to panic now! Throw all of your suggestions at me pleaseeeeeeeeeee

What type of names do you like? Classic, American, cool, made up? Do you want to share your DDs name?

Alex
Wilf
Nate

What’s DD? Do we know your ‘style’.

Sorry! Should have given more info. Feel weird sharing DD name but it's along the lines of Emilia....

I don't really like boy names ending with y or ie sound. Like Charlie or Louis

I think my issue is finding a name that will see him through childhood, adolescence and as a grown man. Some names only suit kids to my ears

Edward

With DD I wanted something classy, slightly unusual and pretty. (It is more unusual than Emilia lol).

With DS ..... I don't know

You've got 2 and a half months, don't panic

You have loads of time, you also have 6 weeks after birth to keep thinking. It took me 5.5 weeks to decide with DS2. I was stuck between 2 names.

Here's a few i like:

David
Peter
Max
Guy
Mark
Joe (Joseph)
Richard
Robert
James
Conrad

Do you like any of the above?

DHs estranged father was Edward ... so that's a no lol

Thanks though

Emmmm I kind of like Max, but there is one already in family.

I am a teacher and sadly lots of names have .... connotations shall we say lol

I feel like I keep telling myself I have loads of time but then when will I stop telling myself that and just pick one!

Benedict
Miles
Joel
Ezra
Gregory

Hmmmm none so far

I feel maybe more unusual but not .... too out there ....

I met someone called Miles Rhodes once, i was the only one who thought it was funny.

How about Patrick?

Are you English or do you have any heritage to draw on for inspiration?

Daniel
Sebastian
Gregory
Hamish
Roderick
Henry

I like Milo but i fear it's a little of the moment. Michael, Alexander and David are timeless.

I love Max and Guy.

What names do you like but can't use for various reasons?

Elliot
Evan
Alistair
Phillip
Ralph
Leo
Albert
Owen

Dawson
Davis
Banner
Theodore
Harvey
Stanley
Cecil
Parker
Potter
Jarvis

I think Albert has just exploded though.

Ooh, Harvey! That's lovely.

Oscar
Luca
Theodore/Theo
Teddy
Finn
Rory

We picked Hugo for DS as we also wanted something to see him through childhood teens and adulthood, and also something a little bit different but not weird or made up... other names we had on our list were:

Jenson
Jesse
Max
Zane

Hope that helps !

Walter (White) meth kingpin.

Alexander
Victor

We liked Leo but can't use ....

I'm Scottish but my DD name is sort of Spanish so open to foreign sounding names ... I like Nico but I'm afraid it sounds a bit like the local take away I just don't know
