I hate all boys names please help!!

[SalemsPot22]

I’ve read all the books, I’ve scoured the internet I just really don’t like any of them.

Me and dp are trying to conceive and I feel like I need to get a head start on a boys name just incase.

What kind of girls names do you like? Do you think maybe you want a more ‘feminine’ style boys name or a unisex one maybe

I thought it was the other way round
I had hundreds of solid, strong boys names.
But naming dd took forever.

Boys names seem to be more timeless.
I could look at my family history. Grandfathers, uncles going back loads of generations.
And would be happy to pass on some of their names
Thomas
Alfred
Frederick
George
Paul
Edward

All these are nice names for a new baby boy.

Or I could look at class mates for my dd.

Lucas
Dylan
Jack
James
Noah
Finn
Flynn
Tommy
William
Edward
Oliver
Mikey

Again, plenty of choice.

What "style" do you like for a girl?

If we have a girl she’s going to be Astrid.

Other girls names we like:

Esme
Josephine
Margot
Isobel
Maisy
Emmeline

Tristan?
Nathaniel?
Caleb?
Seth?
Laurence?
Arthur?

Do you watch much tv? Only ask because we couldn't think of a name for dc4 for the life of us & it was getting rather close so we started looking at the credits, it worked!

For Dc5 we had:
Eli
Jude
Seth
Ivor
Alexander
William
Philip (that spelling due to a family member) would have been known as Pip
Dylan

OK, trying to think of some boys' names you might not have seen/though about:

Torin (Irish, I think)
Jethro
Adiel (Hebrew)
Ernest

My son is Wilf and I love it.

Full name Wilfred and so very versatile

Will
Wilf
Fred

I also love,

Rafferty
Ford
Clarke
Magnus
Charles (Charlie)
Fergus
Percy
Rufus
Parker
Monty (Montgomery)
Walter

Asterleigh...I think it has quite a similar ‘feel’ to Astrid.

We already have an Amelie and a Noelle if that’s any help.

Gregory

Joseph based on you liking Josephine

Sebastian fits with the French theme then.

A lovely French boys name is Etienne.

What about Felix?

In the exact same boat as you, I had my girls name all picked out ready to use and found out we are having a boy. Here is our list of potential names, I like them but I just don't LOVE any so really struggling. Hopefully it can be of use to you:

Sebastian
Charlie
Theodore
Leonardo
Tyler
Cameron
Camden
Zachary
Phoenix
Hayden
Max
Rory
Tristan
Rowan
Alexander
Noel
Leon
Julian
Ashton

What about some Irish boy names?? There nice

To carry on the French theme, perhaps Etienne?

When you mentioned Astrid, it brought to mind Magnus...or something else Scandi? Kasper?

Joseph
Emil
Lysander
Jonas
Alaric
Ailred
Aylmer
Aymeric

Here’s our shortlist

Miles
Gabriel
Benjie
Jesse

Xavier? Great name.

Gabriel
Rafael
Cosmo
Kit
Benedict
Otis
Arlo
Nico
Magnus

Magnus
Caspar
Gabriel
Tristan
Gawain
Merlin
Xavier
Louis

and then you have:
Edward
Arthur
Frederick
Thomas
William
Henry
Stephen (surely due a comeback) along with:
Jeremy
Julian
Anthony

@SalemsPot22 same!!! We find out in two weeks what we are having but I'm sure it's a boy! We have a girls name, but I literally like no boys!! We have Tommy after both our grandads but I feel it's a little too "safe" x

We had the same, have always had a girl’s name chosen but found out we’re having a boy of course

If we have a girl in future, she will be Seren Rose. We have chosen Toby Wren for our little boy due in February

I also like:
Reuben
Jude
Benjamin
Chester
Rupert

I like:
Fergus
Matthew
Oliver
Toby
James
Julian
Jeremy
Rupert

I have a Dexter Miles if that's any help?
We were all set on Thurston (husband is a Sonic Youth fan!) then heard Dexter and that was it!
ps- son was born on Thurston Moores birthday!!
