If you had a baby boy tomorrow and could name him your absolute dream name with no repercussions what would you choose?

I like short names for boys and nothing “out there”

Forgetaboutme · 31/12/2020 09:08

Kasper. I've always loved that name but my husband would never accept Grin otherwise if I had to take his thoughts into account then either Leo or Isaac.

Ezekiel. It was the name we had picked for our last DC if they’d been a boy. No more babies here so will never get to use it, and I’m still a little bit sad about that.

I really struggle with boy’s names! I’m glad I’m having a girl. We used the only name we both agreed on (Francis) for our son.

I have always loved Kelly or Sasha for a boy but they are considered girl names for n the UK.

Love this name, it's already top of my list of potential boys names!

It was my first choice for DS but was very firmly vetoed by DH, unfortunately!
