Help to name Baby Boy No.2

46 replies

Ails826 · 14/05/2023 05:31

Hello!
Really need some help, we found out we are expecting another baby boy and we have absolutely 0 names, with our first his name felt right we were so excited but this time around I don't feel anything for any name really.
We are in Australia I am from the UK and we love British ties, my son's name is Oxford so quite different but really suits him. We wanted something that goes well with Oxford different easy to spell I feel totally lost :(
We had thought maybe a place name a little village in the UK or something but so lost now and feeling a bit disconnected from this pregnancy because we can't name him (and I feel guilty for my son but that's another issue haha )

Thanks !

Cambridge?

Ails826 · 14/05/2023 05:48

Ohh yes rivers I hadnt thought to look at those.
Haha yes many suggestions of Cambridge but too salt and pepper for us

We liked Orlando and Evander but felt Orlando was less Shakespeare these days and more Disney World and Evander would end up with Evan as a nn which we didn't like

Marlow is good. Writer and lovely Berkshire village.

blitzen · 14/05/2023 07:54

I feel exactly like you, OP. Love my first son's names. This time round, I like a lot of names but don't love them, iyswim. I think me and DH have 'settled' on something which is alright, maybe a bit boring but both of us think we'll never like another name as much as DS1's! However, DH thinks it's about the child and we will grow to love their names as we get to know our new bundle, arriving imminently. I am going with that! Good luck xx
