I REALLY need help. DH and I just cannot think/decide/agree on a name for little boy due in february, our little DD is called Millie and it really suits her. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance xxx

Ohh I dont dislike Lewis at all, infact at ine point I would have seriously considered it its just 'something' not clicking with the name and bump some how!
Have begged DH for George but he has forbid it lol Love Charlie but its DH's best friends name Zach/Jack sounding names seriously clash with surname. Like Harry, have a great nephew Harrison thorugh but dont really see him so... but DH said no to that too. in fact hes pretty much said absoloutely no way to all my suggestions which may be my problem with Lewis and Luke just on the principle he likes them lol Luke has always been a fave of mine. Think i'm thoroughly hormonely. Been in tears umpteen times today and I mean floods of tears and I keep doing stupid things so maybe im in no fit state to be naming a human being lol

How about keeping a list of a few names and deciding afterwards. I know I felt completely the same with ds2 - just couldn't find that name. When he was born I just knew which to chose (although if I'd found Seth earlier it would have been a different story!)

Millie and Patrick sounds good!

Lockets - yes that's what I meant - have real problems keeping track of all the birthdays!

Why don't you ask dh to write a list of names he does like and then choose from that (assuming you like any of his choices)? That way he isn't poo-pooing your favourite names, so you are less upset about it?

At least he's not suggesting Eric (after his father), Elvis (obvious) or Hone (maori for John!!!

I made executive decisions both times. Told him they were not negotiable and must have chosen well as both are on suggested lists here

'Chester' .... I love it. Saw a little boy in the park when I was pregnant. Blond hair, running wild and his mum shouts "Chester" - mind you I never named my child it 'cause I chickened out. Now I wish I had 'cause it would really have suited him. Be brave!!

there are so many suggestions here I really like, alot i've already suggested, some already taken by friends and family. He seems particularky fussy with boys names lol
thanks for all the help
