Okay..after the girls names thread how about boys' names!?

[babyonboard]

We had a firm name for a girl, but after two scans he is 100% a boy..and it's harder than with a girl I think..soooooo.....

Also should say that as your kids go through school you start all sorts of connotations with other names like Rory and Jacob belonging to kids you don't like!

Jonathan
Michael
Matthew
David
John

Laurence
Huw
Ralph
Maddox
Cyril

Personal faves are..

Harry
Elliot
Jacob
Joseph

I like
Theo
Leo
Angus
Finn
Kit
Noah

I like...

Theo
Alexander
Jude
Benedict
James
Gabriel

I love Alexander Jude for us if baby boy, DH has said a flat no to Gabriel and Benedict. Jude is def. a middle name for us, it's dh's middle name and the saint I prayed to (he is the patron saint of despertate cases) when my mum was critically ill. I am not particularly religious but our prayers were answered and my mum recovered. Admittedly we are way too early with names at 9+6 but I love these threads!

I really like alexander too, but I have two 'alexander' cousins, one 'alex' aunt, and five 'alex's' as close friends.
also really liking aiden and oscar (but dp insists if we pick this it should be spelt oskar!?)..hmm...

if we have a boy next dh & I have also suggested Gabriel..We also like Hugo & Harry.
I like alfie and archie as they are like (not to be taken the worng way) "little old men" names and well cute but dh is totally against them! Like who does all the hard work....????!!!!!!!!!

Henry

My ds' name .

no one likes Cyril then

oh god I dont like any boys names. Better hope this one is a girl

plenty of nice welsh ones, you know, enid!

yes I like Gwyllim

but not in any way welsh

I almost called my ds Gwilym! (I like 'Gwil' for short)

asking for trouble though?

I like

Louis
Theo
Patrick

babyonboard when DT1 died we felt very protective over his name

IMHO I would not use Joshua in case she feels the same as me

If a family member had used it I would have been very upset and found it very difficult hearing people talking about him by name iyswim

Even as a middle name, in case he decided to use it as his first name

BUT this is just my opinion

Tyler
Zak
Ethen
Matty
Leigh

rtkangamummy - My mum asked about 'joshua'.. and my aunt said she would think it lovely if we used it as a middle name. the surviving twin has it as his too.
Not sure..but at least we know she would like it if we do choose it.
sorry about your baby..were they born early too?

Cal or Louis (tho Louis could lead to lots of teasing in playground)

I think our shortlist is..
Oliver
Charlie (though dp argues 'charles' is best as it's a bit more formal and we can call him charlie, but I don't like 'charles' just 'charlie' iyswim..hehehe)
George (dp's grandad, who was amazing, was called 'Jeorgi' so I quite like that, just changed to the 'english' version)
Aiden
Oscar
Ethan
victor (dp's choice..i'm not sure!)
Jude
Elliot
and just for dp's amusemnt we have these written down too....
