Overdue with baby 3, we have lots of girl names we like but struggling with boys. Already have 2 boys

Names we like but can’t use

  • james
  • alexander
  • samuel
  • thomas
  • rory
  • henry
  • isaac

We do like Patrick a lot but worrying about calling a baby Patrick so close to St Patricks day - even more so if it turns up on Sunday!

any ideas?!

Patrick is a great name, I don’t think it matters at all it’s st Patrick’s day soon.

Patrick Vallance was born on 17th March!

I love Alexander and Zachery, just not wild about Alex and Zach!

James and Ben are a bit old fashioned now, our era there was always a James and Ben to be found! Depends on surname for those names.

I like Freddie, Max, Josh, Oliver, Isaac.

James.. so lovely, classic and understated. One of my all time favourite boy names

KirstenBlest · 15/03/2024 13:28

@CharlieBoo , OP said they can't use James.

Patrick is lovely, @Lukewarmtea24 . I know 4 Patricks and 3 Patricias, and have no idea when their birthdays are.

My BIL is David and has a March birthday.

Patrick would be a brilliant idea if he’s born on 17th or at least as a middle name.

Jacob. Nathan. Benjamin. Francis. Matthew. Gabriel. Anthony. Jude. Robert. Vincent. Charles. William. Arthur. Louis. Ethan. Oscar.

Love Patrick! I don’t think that it matters at all that it’s near St. Patrick’s day, actually I think it’s quite a nice touch!

How about Conor?
