We have chosen several girls names we like but boys names are so hard.

My favourite boys names are:
Rex
Stanley
Idris
Niko

My husbands are
Keith
Nigel
John

I am not naming my son Keith 😆 any suggestions of names we would agree on? Thanks

I agree with pp, what's your husband got against your baby?! Keith and Nigel Grin I quite like your boys names, Idris or Niko are my faves.

I love Nico but spelt with the C not the K but that's my opinion x

But Keith and Nigel were faddy names! Keith a 50s name and Nigel a 50s-60s. Before and since barely heard of.

John I like, I’d use Johnny day to day.

But yes I think OP your list might be too current for him. Can you think of any classics you like? Christopher nn Kit? Edward nn Ted? Etc

AverageMummy · 30/06/2019 09:21

Keith and Nigel omg Grin what about Kevin & Brian? Grin Grin

AverageMummy · 30/06/2019 09:21

Jonathan nicknamed Jonty might be a blend of both?

Gorillaandme · 30/06/2019 20:16

Thank you for all your suggestions. I don't understand why boys names are so damn hard. Fingers crossed for a girl then this won't be an issue 😆

Might he go for Nicholas? Then you could have Niko as a nickname.
