ANY boy name suggestions?
I don't know what I'm having yet, but I'm making lists and I'm struggling so much with boys names.
The only names I like so far are Theo and Parker (which I loveee but my boyfriend hates it because "it's a last name" grr)
I have a 5 year old called Noah ☺

Thanks girlies!! 😀

Completely with you on this one!!😩 might get more traffic in the 'baby names' section! I like Parker Smile x

They are hard aren't they? I am not finding out the sex of this baby until the birth, but I'm so sure it's a boy... DH and I can't agree on any names.

I like Theo!

Good luck OP!

Aw I love the name Noah that's on my list!

Also Freddie, Alby, Elliot and Ezra

I'm struggling with girls! Only got lily so far

We are calling our little boy Luke and this is because my boyfriend is a massive Star Wars fan haha I have made it clear though that the middle name will not be skywalker! I agree though that boys names are the hardest to pick, I had loads of names for a girl. I tried to think of names that would suit them at all ages and not just as a kid.

I’m 28 weeks with a boy and we haven’t even discussed boys names yet as I know it’s going to be a nightmare!

sickmumma · 01/10/2018 14:25

I am the opposite and find girls
Names harder!! I have a Theo, other names I can think of ..

Henry, Freddie, Louis, Oscar, Zachary, Max, Jenson, Jaxon, Milo, Oliver, William.

We are the same, we like Theodore. We also quite like Zachery but we haven't really considered the baby book yet, it is very difficult though as we have different tastes. Theodore is the only one we currently both really like and even then he prefers Theo and I prefer Ted/Teddy!

sickmumma · 01/10/2018 15:50

@LittleDoveLove our Theo is Theodore and is referred to as Theo, Ted, Teddy! I still adore his name 9 years on!!

We don't know what we are having but have a boys name which is Archie but girl could be nameless for a few days before we decide on something as we can't come up with anything. Both our families are mainly girls so all the nice ones we like are taken

kmreeve · 01/10/2018 17:10

I'm the opposite, all the boys names but no Girls.. and we are having a girl!

We had picked a boys name.. Grayson.

Open to girl names for swaps Grin

I found boys names easier, really struggled with my DD. My Ds is Seth and if DD was a boy she would have been Gabriel. I love Sonny, Seb, Johab (jobe), Jed and Herbie

Lymphy · 01/10/2018 17:17

And Noah but I suppose you can't have two!

myotherbagisgucci · 01/10/2018 18:21

I have 5 girls names on my list and only 1 boys, and we've just found out that DC2 is a girl.

My boys name was Giles, which I'm sad not to use, as this will definitely be our last pregnancy.

QueenOfMyWorld · 01/10/2018 19:12

Theo

1987Laura · 01/10/2018 19:20

We are struggling for girls names. Had our boys name picled from our unsuccessful first pregnancy but we can't decide on a girls name

laurenluke2017 · 01/10/2018 22:27

I'm having a c-section in 13 days, and my son will be called Lenny. 👶🏻💙

Angelmiracle · 01/10/2018 22:35

I'm struggling with this too. Girl's name picked. No idea for a boy. DS is Connor.

What I love but already used by family:
Aidan
Fionn
Darragh
James
Oisín
Ruairi
Senan

Maybe Conán or Callum Hmm

jadeywadeyyox · 05/10/2018 19:33

Hey guys!!
We decided on one name for each gender.
If it's a boy, Freddie (fredrick) and a girl Belle (Isabelle). 💕

Im thinking about this too. I have a 1 year old called Harris and I'm struggling with finding a name for the next one. I want something Scottish but not another island. At the moment I'm considering Maclean (as a first name) after the surname of my grandmother. Not sure if it works though!

emma911030 · 05/10/2018 20:20

I've found out Today that I'm having a boy and I literally don't have any boys names that actually make me think yes that could be it like Zero 😔

Bettyhop · 05/10/2018 20:54

For a boy we have Douglas (Dougie), Sebastian (Seb), Stanley, and Joel :)
A girl will be Violet or Eden
