DH and I are having a nightmare - we are rubbish at deciding on a name as we are both very fussy. Please make suggestions for boys names - I don't want anything common (i.e he will be one of 3 in his class)

I will apologise in advance for dismissing most of them, we've already had a gazillion suggestions but I am hoping one of you can hit the jackpot! There is a photo of him in my profile if that helps.

Thanks

Oh I see.

My daughters name is actually Lucynda. No one calles her that though. It's too harsh for such a femenin dainty little girl.

Don't let them !! Luce is even worse. I like Lou-Lou though.
Would you rather be called Florence ?
My Mum thought it was a lovely name and so unusuall. It dosn't help if you also speek nicely. She didn't concider school at all I don't think.

I am really struggling with boys names.

So far I like:

Fergus
Frank
Jed
Sonny

And I love Spike. But DH says it's a dogs name

mummyloveslucy · 12/11/2008 19:41

Brynn maybe ? I think it's welsh, it sounds very manly. I don't know.

LuLuBai · 12/11/2008 19:41

We may never agree.

Congrats, was rooting for your home birth too.

How about Samson, I have a secret love of it!

AnathemaDevice · 12/11/2008 20:02

I think he looks like a Michael- Mikey for short. But that could be because it's one of the names DH ruled out for this bump. I also like William (shortened to Liam), Jude and Rufus. Or Thomas. Or possibly Sean.
He's beautiful, whatever you decide to call him- congratulations!

sparkletoes · 12/11/2008 20:05

MrsSanta I LOVE the name Roan!

But my friend jusy called her baby boy Owen and I just couldn't face it when we are out introducing our babies as... Roan and Owen!

Neeerly3 · 12/11/2008 20:08

Edward
Arthur
Charles (Charlie)
Hector
Felix

Oscar
