We will find out in 3 weeks if baby is boy or a girl. I find girls names easy to think of but boys names, not so much.

What we have so far:
Rory
Rupert
Hugo
Tobin
Hunter

Opinions on these and please add more!

Like Rory, Tobin and Hunter; less keen on Rupert and Hugo. How about Torin or Conrad?

erised · 13/02/2020 13:46

I do like Torin, I had Thorin in mind too but my mind just thinks of the dwarf in The Hobbit Grin

I like the names you have chosen, also like Zachary and a few others. When you look at your baby for the first time you'll know what name suits him (if it is a 'him'), or her.

Lavenderblues · 13/02/2020 13:58

Torin is lovely or how about
Quentin
Raphael
Dominic

I don't like Rory or Rupert due to the R sound and the fact that some people struggle to pronounce them.

Sexnotgender · 13/02/2020 13:58

What about
Felix
Robin
August
Nathaniel
Gabriel
Francis
Alexander

Nice list. I like Tobin and Rory best. I have Quentin which you might like.

99bb · 13/02/2020 14:24

Rory and Rupert are two of my favourite names!

Batqueen · 13/02/2020 14:27

Love Rory. I also like Theo, Tristan,

Whatsyourflava · 13/02/2020 14:35

Rory - love
Rupert - love - fav
Hugo - love - joint fav
Tobin - don’t like but I think it’s popular on MN so I’m probably in minority
Hunter - like

Whatsyourflava · 13/02/2020 14:36

Some more ideas:

Names with good nicknames:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) nn Wilf
Barnaby nn Barns or Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel nn Nate
Rafferty nn Raffy
Sidney nn Sid

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Chester
Caleb

Also,

Henry

Quinn
Ronny
Silas

Robin

Ricekrispie22 · 13/02/2020 16:32

I had a few of your names on my list. Also on my list:
Jasper
Freddie
Milo
Gideon
Chester

sawyersfishbiscuits · 13/02/2020 16:36

I'm not keen on Hunter (I'm very anti hunting) but like your other names.

I also like:
Solomon
Rufus
Gideon
Felix
Monty

Nowayorhighway · 13/02/2020 17:19

I’m the same as you, lots of girls names but only one boys name which is actually Rupert so I think that’s a great choice Wink. Rory is cool too.

sibbys · 03/03/2020 19:44

I really move Hugo. Classy and cheeky at the same time.

I love: Rufus, Woody, Max.
We have a son called Wilbur.

sibbys · 03/03/2020 19:45

Move = love

Ellmau · 04/03/2020 01:11

What about Jasper?

Whatsyourflava · 04/03/2020 08:03

Did you find out baby’s gender @erised

BigusBumus · 04/03/2020 08:13

Miles, Rupert, Hugo and Tate are great boys names.

mamablondie · 04/03/2020 08:22

I love Hugo! It’s slowly becoming my favourite.

The other one I love is Nathaniel with Nate for short- completely ruled out by my DH though!

erised · 04/03/2020 14:22

@Whatsyourflava we found out baby is a girl yesterday! But thank you all for the suggestions Smile
