Hi,
I'm due my second boy in about 9 weeks and we are still struggling with a name for him!

We both loved our son's name Toby from the beginning, and didn't really have a back up if it wasn't right when he was born.

This time though, I have no names on my list I feel enthusiastic about, and I'm so hormonal I keep getting upset that this baby will end up with a name neither of us really love!

The only name I really liked for him was/is Rory, but DH has vetoed as apparently this is the name of an annoying person at work.

Our current list now consists of:
-Oscar - like it, but still sounds a bit 'posh' to me and we are very much not posh people!
-Luca - again I like it, I have Italian family so reasoning behind it, just feels a bit 'cold' maybe as a baby/toddler name?
-Marley - I like 'y' names and I think it's cute, but I do worry about the dog connection potentially?

I like 'y' names but nothing massively popular, trying to avoid the top 10 at the very least, unusual but not too out there...our name begins with H so that rules out Harry/Harrison etc...
