I know it's been done but... boys names......

[munz]

so after my last thread we picked out Jake Paul.

we've been 'test driving it' I don't mind Jake but am rapidly going off of it.

DH likes

Jake
Joshua
Jack

the last two I really hate - big style. I'd like a Harvey or something else but not too sure what.

any ideas? the middle name of Paul will def be sticking.

also how to convince DH there's other names out there than those 3?? he seems to have decided on Jake and that's final! lol.

(I want a name to fall in love with iycwim and not think in a few years/months I wish we'd called him X not Y)

What about Jacob?

Ryan goes with Paul too.

so do you want something quite 'trendy'?
or do you prefer traditional?

i like;
henry
alexander(obviously!)
james- might be a good one for you, similar to jake without the spikiness
marcus
edward

Not sure if this is your first or not but if it is then don't worry about DH. Trick is to decide what you like then wait until moments after the birth then in a doe-eyed I've just been through child-birth way look at DH and say 'Can we call him...'. Bet he agrees to anything. Worked for me and avoided all the fights beforehand.

Can't help on the boys names though...can't think of any myself yet...harder than girls names I think.

Sounds like your dh would say yes to something a bit more traditional rather than trendy:

Johnny (Jonathan)
Marc/o
Harry
Rory
Will(iam)

we have a cousin called ryan - (I have lots of boy cousins). I like Jacob, love it DH doesn't

I'd like something trendy but unusual, DH likes somehting common but fairly traditional.

I do like the williams etc but he doesn't at all.

still left with thou if I do pick one out- how to convince him?? (I like alfie as well)

lol robin yes it is our first - I like that idea! lol. I did try the friends no uterus no opinion but it didn't work! lol.

I love Alfie, really cute trendy name!!!!

DD has a mate in Nursery called Koby, quite cute and unusual. Jake is quite boring and just reminds me of the softie one in Tweenies!!!

Sort him out Munz, your choice of names seems a lot better than his!!!! What are your other little ones called?

Mine are Ellie and Dylan

Ooh hausfrau, you show off! Boys' names are a PAIN! Give me a girl anyday (ha ha remind me of that if nec)

koby ooh that's nice and unusual. when we were tryin he'd agreed to harry, harvey and Korbin - now thou it's all out the window! lol. we're having the paul cos it's our dad's names - luckiy they have the smae! lol. might say as that's 'traditional' I pick the unsual??, or as it's a boy I choose he chooses for a girl! lol.

Joseph ??

Tell him everyoneunder 10 is called Joshua,Jake or Jack these days.
Doesn't he want his kid to be a little more memorable?

the thing about really trendy names like alfie is that they really date a child, and what might be cute when they are little won't be when older. i'm trying to visualise a 15 y/o goth or hoodie type called alfie!

Jody
George

Jean

i like dominic

when i hear ezra i immediately think-pound!

Barnaby Paul has a better rhythm than some of these. Jake Paul sounds a bit flat, for example. And yes I know he won't be saying both names together much, but for me a good rhythm is a consideration.

Koby makes me think of Star Wars.

Dominic Paul = good

Definitely go for the after birth plea! You deserve to choose after 9mths of pg!

We have picked Benedict for our boys name but I also love:
Edwin
Edward
George
Harry (DS's name)
Oliver
Rory
Samuel
