I name this child..... (boys this time)

[sweetheart]

OK, I loved the thread about names for a baby girl - I've pinched loads of names off of it for my list of possibles.

So seeing as I'm expecting and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl i thought we could do boys names now.

I've thought of a few I like but I'm really struggling with boys names.......

any ideas???????

Max
Ethan
Harvey
Harrison
George
Alfie

ds was called Alfie for his first few weeks, but we changed our minds when it came to the crunch, thank god - I wouldn't be able to bear it if people thought he was named after Alfie Moon!

My ds is called Finlay. I wanted Cameron, Harvey or Ethan but as soon as dp got Finlay into his head I didnt get much choice!!

I love love love Noah but dh says "no". If I have a boy he will probably be Jacob, it's the only one we can agree on.

matthew
luke
zeban
alex
ruairi

also love finn, isaac and felix (choice for DD if she'd been a boy - a bit popular round our nurseries now though, unfortunately) which have been mentioned already

can't tell you my current no. 1 choice for a boy - couldn't bear any negative comments as I've loved it for sooo long.....

I love all the biblical names - Joseph, samuel, Jacob, Isaac, Zachary but dp wasn't into it. He prefers old 'traditional' names. His argument agains Cameron was it was too scottish (doesnt get more scottish than Finlay!!??) (no offence to the scots - I am one myself!!)

reuben

ooooh yes, Oscar is lovely

Oscar is perfect!

Our DD was going to be Finley Patrick if she was a boy.

Also liked Dylan and Zach but with DP's surname dillon sounded like a bit of a thicko - the syllables didnt work.
Also a friend had Zach just before DD was born.

Cant have Finley niw as it clashed with DD's name so best get thinking.

Talk about thicko.................DYLAN

i like bruno, but dh won't hear of it..... all the names that either one (but not the other) likes, instead of being binned altogether, are in a big pile called "names for a future pet". Including bruno!

I think boys names are soooooooo much harder than girls names. We had the girls name within minutes and took the next 6 months to agree on a boys name....

My 2 gorgeous boys are Joe and Finn (Finlay when he's bbaaadd) I also love Sonny,Buddy,Ethan,Max and Jake (bit Tweenies)

When we were expecting ds we knew he was Luke staight away. Didn't have any other boy's names though so a bit stuck myself for this one...do like Matthew (Matt), but as dh is Mark it would look like we were going for a new testament full house, hee hee

Boys names are hard. We were going to go for Dylan but my school teacher friend says it is really common amongst kids these days. Another friend who works in Tescos said that three people on the checkout alone are called Dylan. Needless to say we have gone off it.
DH thinks endlessly of how each name will result in the poor child being picked on at school. I guess it is a boy thing. Anyway back to square one.

Reuben
Ben
Kieran
Dominic

NB. school teacher friend has a girl in her class called Lasagne. I'm not joking.

We've got lots of ideas for boys names but none for girls will check out the baby girl thread ...

Friend has a Reuben and a Zebulen (I kid you not...)we're not sure if he's going for the whole set...

I'm amazed at how many times Finn/Finlay has come up - we loved it because we thought no-one had it lol although I looked on the Bounty website top 100 and it was never on there ..... now its 69!!

We love Louis for a boy.....but then there's always Louis Walsh from X Factor isn't there
