what do you think and any ideas as we just can;t agree at all

Bernard

Can someone please tell me why Mason is Chavy? There aren't many chavs down here in Cornwall so I genuinely don't get it- plenty of Jethro's down here though....now there's a name!

I think sometimes a name which seems to have sprung from nowhere can seem a little less than classic. You have to read between the lines here. I'm trying not to be egregious - it's an ongoing battle and there's no medication.

but Mason has been around as a first name for ages (although for longer in the US and UK .

I think it sounds too much like Jason though I just don;t get the chav bit

Charlie
Arthur
and Dominic are good.

All others bad (some very)

How about Gregory?

Lots of names with there own adjectives here. Arthurian, Dominican, Gregorian.
are there any more?

Partly depends on the surname. And the options - especially your dp's - seem to be mainly surnames as 1st names, so you need to be careful. I know 1 baby boy with 3 forenames who sounds like a law firm.

I'm afraid Mason for me just means really awful character in the woodenest of wooden soaps, Santa Barbara.....

Arthur, Charlie and Jack are good.
Any reason to think about names from specific countries, eg Scottish or Irish? Again all depends on surname, family history.

I don't like Mason either - Sheryl Gascoigne's kid was called that. her others were Bianca and Reagan....Mason goes with those if you catch my drift.

mason is terrible. Your Dh's names are all bad (is he struggling with hormones). Sid is fabulous and Charlie is great too ( but there I am prejudiced). Preston isn't great either. Posh pretty much did for naming babies after places....

Choose your favorite and make DH go and lie down in a dark room for a while.

have already considered registering him alone!!

dh doesn't like anything from my list though and i need further inspiration

I think you need to read the thread about Mason that was on here before, it's a terrible name with awful connotations.

They're all alright but none of them really jump out at me TBH.

Have Rufus, I fell in love with it a week after DS2 was born

The Mason thread

Oh yes, wow Victorian Squalor, Rufus is gorgeous, it would be my chosen name but DH doesn't like it.

Dominic is ok from the original list. Just purlease not Mason. Can't explain why but it just summons up pictures of nasty little thug boys with shaved heads. The ones that are really quite horrible even when they're only 6 years old.

Sorry - I think your dh has terrible taste in names!! I like most of yours - not keen on Ashton particularly but the others are great.

oh Rufus is loevly

Dominic is fine.

arthur? ok
charlie - bit common (by that i mean usual not trampy lol)
austin - dunno
sid - parents dog called sid so cant comment
jack - again a bit usual
ashton - like it
mason - bit chavvy - sorry dont want to offend
preston - britney!!!
brody - like it
domonic - knew one didnt like him :p
bradley - like it

Hope someone on here can help you decide. I called my little boy Luca.

Sid is great
Charles great-but I am biased

also like

Michael
Laurence
Sebastian
George
Seth
Robert
William love Will

mmmm william's nice

could be william, will, billy etc

wonder if dh will like

Mason is the best name out of both lists.

Your lists are very different aren't they.

You need to find some common ground. I like some of yours but none of yr DH's - they are just not the kind of names I like.

Is he stuck on a surname type name? Does he not like Austin or Ashton from yr list?

What about sthg like
Ethan
Zach
Seth
Angus
Miles is quite cool and not too first named if that floats DH's boat.

Will is a fine name.

he wasn;t keen on Will

thanks Clary not sure if he's stuck on surnames or what but i don't like anything from his list either and i'm not backing down

he likes austin but not enough

what does everyone think of aaron and is it pronounced aron or airron?

he likes Laurance off ggirl's list but what can you shorten that to as i think dd would struggle

also baby likely to have strawb blonde hair and be quite fair if this helps that's what put me off bradley don;t care about eastenders thing but if he looks similar to him as well could be a but much

might just have to go with ds's choice of Heatblast and be done with it!

surname is one syllable (sp?) and starts with a "h" so makes some of the names beginning with "h" sound a bit daft - although i still love Harry!!

Laurence can shorten to Lol, Loz, Larry...

You can pronounce Aaron either way - personally I prefer 'arron', as all the Aarons I've known have pronounced it this way, but you decide really.

Brodie Jack.

Forget that, he would be BJ
