Really stuggling with boys name DH and i just cannot agree on anything !!

I like Ross DH likes Alex, which i dont mind but im not overly keen IYSWIM.

We like traditional type names, nothing to common, but not something that you end up repeating yourself with, everytime someone asks what the babys name is LOL.

Why are boys names so difficult?? i seems like all the best one are taken!

So please please please fellow MNer help me name this baby .

Our impending arrival's going to be called either George or Samuel.

Boys names are hard

Timothy?

Overmydeadbody · 20/12/2008 12:52

My favourity boys name in the world ever is Mungo, but I doubt you'll like it!

ElectraInExcelsis · 20/12/2008 12:53

Boys names are indeed hard - I have many more girls names. I like Alex too, but a bit put off by the fact it's in the top 100. Other boys names I would have on my shortlist are

Miles
Lucian
Victor

But this baby is a girl anyway.....

OOO i love Lucian !

Pinkmarshmallow · 20/12/2008 12:58

I agree boys' names are way harder to pick than girls' names. I kinda like Lee or Leo though.

sorkycake · 20/12/2008 12:59

ooh yes, Lucian is very nice

Too many Alex's, don't like Ross at all.

audley · 20/12/2008 13:12

I am not a Lucian fan at all, but seem to be in the minority. I like Barnaby, Felix, Milo, Arthur, Caspar...mmm, come to think of it that sounds like a list taken off the Tv, cartoon characters and catfood adverts!!

sonniboo · 20/12/2008 14:46

I like Ross but find Alex a little boring/unimaginative (and there'll be many boys and girls named Alex in school).

Other ideas are

Quentin
Arthur

deckchair · 20/12/2008 15:23

Nicolas??

ggirlsbells · 20/12/2008 15:30

I like
Barnaby
Michael
Charles
John
Rewan
James
Peter
Laurence

My ds is Reece which is close to Ross at least! Also like Jack, Hayden, Dylan.

TwoCuteFestiveFairys · 20/12/2008 18:21

Thanks some lovely names

I will sit and go through them later with DH

So far i like

Nicholas

Hayden (although we have lots around here)

Timothy, but im not keen on Tim so this probably a no go.

and George (but its my DN name)

I think Lucian is a lovely name but i know that this will be to differant for my DH , plus my 2 DDs have very traditional old fashioned flowery type names, so it might be a bit to modern???

Keep em coming please, you never know this little fella may have a name this side of Christmas .

My ds is Lewis and if this baby is a boy it will be Rhys. Others i like are Noah, Reuben, Finley, Jonah and Scott

littleoldme · 20/12/2008 18:52

I've got a Thomas James. I'm buggered now though c'os those were the only two names we both like so if we have another boy he'll probably be called Rachel...

I really like Solomon,

jellybeans · 20/12/2008 21:17

Ross is fab.

jellybeans · 20/12/2008 21:17

Ross is fab.

kayzr · 20/12/2008 21:24

DH says Ross is nicer than Alex.
He is Ross Alexander.

BlueSapphire77 · 21/12/2008 21:07

I like dominic and nathan
Our baby is going to be named after his dad tho
David alexander
Saves all the huffing and puffing and plus when i call the name at least 'one' of them will actually answer lol
