I am nearly 14 weeks PG with #2, DS1 is called Jamie. Our girls name is Milly but we are really stuggling with a boys name! So far we have:

Christopher
Ben
Evan
...and I just saw 'Corin' on another thread and quite like that too!

What do you think? Any other boys names? We need help! Ta

Hi like Evan best. I also like Corin, it's one of my top 5 but spelt Corinne as we are having a girl

I like Ben to go with your other DC's. It will always be vaguely near the top of the popular list, but it is an all time classic that suits both man and boy. It's a lovely warm name - you could trust a man called Ben.

(cue lots of stories about shitbag exes called Ben!).

My fav is Christopher, I quite like Ben and Evan, not heard of Corin before- would it be a name that sounds nice with some accents but not so with others? (says she who's childs name begins with 'H' in a county where the letter has virtually disappeared from the alphabet ))

I like Ben / Benjamin. It's a good, solid name.

Not keen on the others.

Corin is awful! I like Corinne for a girl, though.

Christopher - ok but just so boring. Kit is very urban chic though, and despite myself I like it.

Ben - ok but so boring. Why not Gus or Greg or Saul or Dom or Guy? Lots of other 'snappy' one syllable strong names for boys. Donald/Don and Robert/Rob another two good ones that would make a nice change.

Evan - ok but prefer Ewan.

Hi Ilikeyoursleeves it's LBOT, your due date twin from July 09

I love, love, love Evan! But I'm American and while it's not terribly common in the US, I feel like it's more acceptable there than it is here.

also like Ben, but agree with doing the formal Benjamin

And I like Christopher, but I think I prefer Christian
