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.....

i was the same i had a girls name picked out from day one and when we found out it was a boy it was so hard to find a name. when i was 38wks people were asking whats he called and i would reply i have no idea, but they would say you have had 9 months to decide!! well not really only about 4! our problem was every name we liked it was already taken as we have large families it was between kyle and declan and the minute he we saw him it was declan.

Any comments on Rowley for a boy.

erm....how would you pronounce that?

Row as in an argument or row as in row row row your boat?

Reminds me of Roley mo! - sorry!

Boys names are sooo much harder I think.

My 2 are called Zack and Kai. Zack was the only name I really liked and Kai came about from hearing someones cousins name. He was gonna be a Jake up till he was born!

favourite name is Elliot

Yeah we liked that too.

Also Ethan (which is a middle name!)

If I had another boy I wouldnt have a clue what to call him!

If I had a girl it would have to be Daisy (Daisy Donnelly?!)

I have a ds Joe - Joseph Emrys (Emrys is dp's very Welsh name!),

and if this one turns out to be a boy it will be either Henry Thomas or Charles Thomas.

Also really like Reuben, but I have a cousin Joe and a cousin Reuben so it would relly look like I have no original ideas of my own!

I love Sterling. Theres a lovely mumsnetter whos gorgeous son has this name

I also like Reuben.

My great great grandad was called Barnabus Christmas! If you fancy something different!

I dont like any boys names either. They are sooo difficult.

My DS is Kelsey.

EZEKEIL lovely name

What about Byron, not sure myself...

If I have a boy next he wil be Jack, after his great grandad, and because i have always loved the name.

My new nephew is called Lucas Emilio...

I have a lovley friend called Byron

and also Heathcliff

I'm not sure about Byron - reminds me of Byron Wordsworth from Story makers!?

Jack is a lovely name, but it was v popular when I was pg and I wanted something a bit different. Think its nice to be named after a family member though - my ds1's middle name is George after his grandad!

Heathcliff? hmmmm i'm not sure about that at all!

Imagine the looks you would get calling him when out and about!?

I really love Jack but it is so popular and has been for so long, kids in school end up being Jack D or Jack T or even Jack P Smith or Jack R Smith. Not fair! It even goes well with my other kids names!

As a Claire in the '70's, I would steer clear of OT common names!

Ishmael is my name for today, mainly coz I had a lesson in Jewish Studies this AM!

Enid, please nooo with the Heathcliff. I knew a boy at school who was called Heathcliff and he was 1. blonde, 2. weedy and 3. extremely short. He really did have a very hard time.
It's like calling your girl Grace as well - what if she, you know, isn't?

Ds is called Kieran. He was going to be that, or Oliver, Benjamin, or Daniel

Think we picked the right one!! Good luck in your search

Kevin. hiya, Kev!

or Humphrey.

Rowley... pronounced
Ruley

Hi just zipped through your thread... noticed you've not mentioned either of my new DS's names

Conrad Milan

sorry if I'm gatecrashing
