Alexander or James

Except I can’t use them as my OH is Greek and need a Greek name. Going to be stuck if current foetus is a boy!!

Has he never heard of Alexander The Great?

It would have to be Alexandros! Eldest two have Greek names so it’s too late to go with Alexander now… Be prepared for a Greek Boy Name thread in 12 weeks time! 😂

Sebastian! It was vetoed from the start (16 years and 3 kids) I’d go for it now!

I’m having one this Friday and I haven’t got a clue!

I'm also having one in 2 weeks and same!!

With my 3 girls I didn't struggle to name them at all. Why are boys so hard to name??

Dexter

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and weve just started rewatching dexter - I really love the name but not sure I can name him after the show 🤔

Blair. Every Blair I know, young and old are all lovely people.

Except for the ones who are war criminals!

Nanasueathome · 29/12/2024 21:03

Aren or Jesse

JT69 · 29/12/2024 21:06

I love the name Lysander. I’d also choose Noah or Elijah. (Neither of my boys have these names though)

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and literally just said the same thing to my husband 😂 we also recently binged the show and I love the name, but don't know how I feel naming our son after a murderer 😂

@IdgieThreadgoodeIsMyHeroine
Blair as a first name is quite common in my part of the world. I wouldn't associate it with TB at all.

Pinkelephant66 · 29/12/2024 21:09

Hector. Or possibly Ian
