Boys names are so difficult...

[cece]

Would like some opinions on

Vaughan/Vaughn
Orson
Verne
Edward
Samuel
Gregory
Monty
Mungo
Edgar
Edmund

None of these are a definite for the short list (well DH thnks one is...) so give me the worst...

The only one I like is Samuel - which I love. But not keen on the others Im afraid.

Edward is lovley.

Agree with Wibblewobbly - only Samuel. Oh, and maybe Monty.

Sadly I think Samuel is in the top 50 names, which is one of my criteria (not to be in the top 50 names that is!)

Some more I have been thinking about

Mark
Paul
Tom

from your list I like

Edward
Edmund
Monty

and similar ones I could suggest are

Hugo
Hector
Herbert nn Herb/Herbie/Bertie
Gilbert nn Gil or Bertie
Gideon
Gabriel
Dashiel

Tom is nice

what about Will?

I like Monty, Edward and Samuel but I guess there are quite a few Edwards and Samuels out there - not a problem unless you are bothered by popular names!

dizzy I do like Gideon but DH says no. Actually he has said no to a few on the list but has come up with only one suggestion! It is on the first list but isn't my favourite. LOL Hopefully we will have a girl as we have several names we both like for a girl.

I actually don't think Edward is in the top 50 names for last year. Although I agree there are a few around. Funnily enough Jack is one of the top names but I hardly know any of them

cheek of him! which one was your DH's suggestion?

what about Arthur nn Art?

Samuel and Edward are my favourites

DH likes Edward

hi Kitty!

hi dizzy this is unchartered terrority for us boys names it's like when you are in Next I believe theres a whole section of blue clothes, never been in it though

very true kitty although friends just had a wee boy so dipped a toe in - he's called Samuel Jack!!

cece I like Edward nn Teddy for when he's a baby

what about Ronnie?

I think we would shorten it to Ed.

I love Ronnie but have had to discount it because it rhymes with one of my other DC's name...

Dizzy - apart from one friend I have NEVER bought a present for a baby girl, everyone I know has boys.

My virtual baby boy would be called Elliot

Elliot is nice too

cece tis the law to call baby Edwards Teddy until they're 5 and going to school, then he can be a grown up Ed

Ed is a cool name

I prefer traditonal strong boys names like Matthew, Thomas, Gabriel, Luke etc

The trouble is a lot of my friends have used those sort of names.

I quite like Ned too.

Ned up here in scotland means a wee gadgie scum bag that wears shell suits tucked into his sports socks, smokes, drinks and wears too much gold jewellery

but don't let that put you off

Thanks for the tip! Never been to Scotland but that doesn't mean my dc won't! Think I prefer Ed anyway...

So no other names from my list pass muster??

Edmund, Edward or Monty for me

OK will come out and say my favourite is Gregory.

NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOO
