If I like... and HE likes... what might We like!?

[Flopdoodle]

Only 3 weeks to go and we are struggling to find a name we Both love for our baby boy to be...

He likes:
Charlie
Stanley
Callum

I like:
Toby
Reuben
Dylan
Jago

We both like Arthur and Kit but both agree we don't want to use those due to their current use in popular TV shows.

We don't want a traditional Thomas, James, Joseph, Christopher name - What might we agree on!!??

Finn
Spencer
Elliott
Rory
Ignatius

@divgirl2 I like Finn - what do you reckon nicknames would be for a little boy called Finn?

In our area there seems to be. Lot of jake, Jacob, Leo and theo's so I think maybe a little too over used for us this year

Alex
Flynn
Sidney
Reuben
Finley
Rafe

Finn doesn’t need a nickname! The one I know is just Finn.

Finn sounds like a nickname in its own right - short for Finley or Finlay, perhaps? How about:

Joshua
Ethan
Max
Oscar
Louis
Conor

Theo
Rory
Rowan
Dean
Asher

Calvin?

@Flopdoodle do you mind me asking what your other little ones name is? Your other little ones name has an unfair advantage as it is attached to an actual person. You will get that attachment with next name once baby is here and has his own character x

what about one from each list for the full name such a Reuben Charlie? That has a nice ring to it

I like Finn. It's nice on its own. I also love Finbar and Fionn, which are similar.

In our house, short names always end up getting lengthened, so no doubt Finn would become Finbar / Finley / Finton etc. I can't imagine it being shortened to anything... Fi? Or maybe not.

Elliot
Evan
Magnus

Issac
Caleb
Lucas
Noah

I actually like Dylan Stanley

Then you can both be happy.

My friend has a Jago and Henry. Other names on their list were Felix, Edward and Oscar.

Billy
Harvey
Frank
Bruno

Richie
Marcus
Rory
Barney
Saul
Miles
Shay

Oh Billy is lovely!
So due a comeback

Rowan
Julian
Lucas
Flynn

Yes to Billy 👍

How about Idris?

I really like the name Finn or Flynn

Rowan is too similar to Roman and both names will be top 10 in next few years on their current trajectory. Plus don’t like nn Row or Rom?!

How about Joshua or Eric? Otis?

Gabriel, Nathaniel or Sebastian.

Seth
Jonah
Finton
Linus
Jared
Rufus
Jasper
Maxwell
Digby
Gregor

Thanks all, some names for thought, still don't think we've found it but have one fingers crossed 🤞 we will be more on it when we meet him :)

@Flopdoodle yes for some people the name pops out when they meet baby

For others (me included) you feel no further forward as you have no idea what their personality will be like and so you feel even more confused

If I had another baby I’d decide in advance

Can you come back and let us know what you choose?

How about Otis?
