Hi everyone!

After thinking I was having a baby girl, I am in fact expecting a little boy! As I was so convinced it was a girl, I really didn’t have many boy name suggestions.

DH and I are struggling to agree on any boys names, so I’m wondering if anyone can help provide us some inspiration please.

I’m aware some of fhe names we like are very popular names, but any similar suggestions or votes for the ones I’ve listed would be so welcome thank you 💙

Here’s a few names either I like or DH likes:

Noah
Ethan
Nathaniel
Caleb
Maxwell
Fraser
Finlay

I like Ethan, Nathaniel, Caleb and Fraser from your list.

What about: Elias, Matteus, Conrad, Jonas

Noah - far too overused
Ethan - ok, a bit unremarkable
Nathaniel - too long. Not keen on Nathan/Nate/Nat
Caleb - like it
Maxwell - Max is better
Fraser - like
Finlay - a bit wet sounding.

Declan has got the same sound as some of your choices. It's a lovely underused name, and means full of goodness.

If I had another boy that's what I'd use.

Fraser
Oscar
Thomas
Tobias/Toby
Cameron
Matthew

From your list I love Caleb and Nathaniel. I also like Finlay (shortened to Finn).
How about Alexander (shortened to Xander) or Benjamin?
Someone suggested Reuben and I love that too! Gabriel (shortened to Gabe is another suggestion I really like).
Good luck with choosing OP and congratulations on the imminent arrival!!
