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

Linden

He is lovely looking, congratulations again.

VerifiedLU4097 · 13/11/2008 08:29

I think he looks like a Euan/Ewan.

shoobidoo · 13/11/2008 10:30

How about these as classic boys names that aren't too popular at the moment (yet?):

Victor
Lucian
Quentin
Tristan

Neeerly3 · 13/11/2008 11:05

choc - any progress?

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 11:20

Just copied everyones suggestions to one list so DH and I are going through it in a min - determined to crack this one today!!

Oh, he's gorgeous! Congratulations!
OK, if your DH won't got for Ned, what about Ted?
If you don't want a common name, steer clear of Harry. There are several at DS's nursery and he sometimes gets mistaken for a Harry but he's definitely a Henry!
What about Joseph? It's DS's middle name and I'm a bit annoyed now we used it and didn't keep it for any future potential sons.
Although after reading this thread, I really like Cassius and think that Cass/Cassy would be a lovely nickname for a little boy.

I think he looks like a name starting with K or C - quite strong at the begining....(if that makes sense?!)

Kyle
Kian
Christopher
Cameron

He's gorgeuos by the way, congratulation!!

skyblu · 13/11/2008 11:37

ahem..that should be gorgeous! & Congratulations! by the way

bevlongy · 13/11/2008 11:56

How about Angus, Archie, Cameron, Callum??

I'm intrigued now... hope you have it sorted soon!

sweetkitty · 13/11/2008 12:19

I think he still looks like a Nathan or a Zack.

Dying to know what you decide now?

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 12:29

Skyblu DH is Christopher so good name suggestion but already in use!

Flynn?

Smith?

Terry- ChocOrange, geddit?

FairLadyRantALot · 13/11/2008 12:43

Smith stretchmark...Smith as a firstname????

but lol at Terry/chocorange...

MarkStretch · 13/11/2008 12:46

Yeah I think it's a cool name.

There's lots of boys called Harrison and that's a surname too.

ihearthuckabees · 13/11/2008 13:17

If I had another son he'd be either:

Christian (even though I'm not IYKWIM)
Gil
Stevie
or
Ralph

(I know a Harrison and a Lorcan, lots of Robbies, way too many Euans, Callums, James's and Daniels).

No-one has mentioned these old-fashioned names:

Norman
Ebenezer

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 13:26

I can't believe it took almost 150 posts for someone to suggest Terry . No can do though as its my uncle's name. Harrison might be middle name as my mum's maiden name is Harris but don't want it as a first name (lots of Harry's about).

I am liking the old fashioned English names...

Bugger - I had almost convinced DH of Ned when his friend called and said apparently Ned in Scotland is a term used for pikeys and stands for Non Educated Delinquents?!?! WTF....

Sorry, hope I haven't offended anyone who has it, I still like it but can I use it now??

ChocOrange05 · 13/11/2008 13:31

And he wasn't lying Ned

rempy · 13/11/2008 13:33

What about Mark? Luke? John? Spotted the theme yet?

sorkycake · 13/11/2008 13:35

He looks like an Alexander to me.

kkey21 · 13/11/2008 13:40

James Harrison

Bienchen · 13/11/2008 13:40

George?

Oscar?

kkey21 · 13/11/2008 13:41

By the way he is a cutie and i am 'bump jealous' now why didn't mine look like yours! My little lad is Leo George if you would like to share! x

girliefriend · 13/11/2008 13:41

alfie
freddie
samuel
reuben
albert (albie)
george - this is a classic and will never go out of fashion!

Sorry not read all threads if these names have already been offered! Let us know what you decide!
He is gorgeous!!! Xx

Buda · 13/11/2008 13:52

He's lovely! I was going to suggest Terence as it popped into my head - had forgotten the chocorange!

(Hi to Epsom btw - we have a house in Ewell!)
