Hey guys,

I've name changed only because I'm going to mention my DS1s name and donr want people to connect some of my other threads to me!

I'm pregnant with DS2 and I find Boyz names so hard!

So DS1 is Oscar. We were set on Finley for him up til around 35 weeks when suddenly DP went off it, so I suggested Oscar in a panic, we both didn't hate it and then when DS was born we looked at him and he just looked like an Oscar haha.

So for DS2, we really struggle with boys names, the only 3 we both like are:

Logan
River
Nate

Middle name will be James and surname begins with an R and is a short 4 letter surname.

I love Ruben but DP said no as he thinks it's too exotic, DP loves Rory but I think Rory with a R surname would be a nightmare for a young kid if they struggle to pronounce their R's so I'm not sure haha.

Can anyone suggest any other names you think we may like?

Thanks guys!

I really like Innes. Or what about Adam. Cora comes from Greek for girl/daughter. Adam’s roots are in ‘man’.
