I don’t like a single boys name.

[SippingOnStraightChlorine]

Help! Baby Boy is arriving on Monday and there isn’t one single boys name that I like let alone think I want to give to my baby. Please throw every boys name at me.

Maybe something classic that has a lot of potential for a range of nicknames?

• Christopher
• James
• Joseph
• Matthew
• Nathaniel
• Sebastian
• Daniel
• Thomas
• Alexander
• Benjamin

Alexander
Roderick
Ralph
Gabriel
Anselm
Alaric
Ludovic
Cornelius

I love the name John. I know of one who must be about 11 now. OP I had the same problem. I didn't name him until he was 16 days old. I only did it then because we wanted to put his name in an obituary when my nana passed away . I used to wander around the cemetery looking for inspiration..

Why not instead of Mia, Miah (my-ah) or micah for your son?

Edwin nn Ned, or just Ned... always loved this. I’d wait and see op, I feel your pain about boys names... my list for girls is 2 A4 pages long, I’d struggle to think of 5 boys ones.

I got inspiration for DS's name from one of my favourite tv characters. I was watching a box set whilst pregnant and realised the character's name met my criteria of being classic but not used that much nowadays. And it has a nice meaning.

Do you have any favourite tv characters?

We did the same we were watching the fast and furious films
