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???????

northstar - my ds is Theo and the Irish nuns at the convent where my granny lived called him Tio - he also goes to French classes and gets called Theo pronounced the French way,which he loves ! He's the only Theo in his school too !

If dd had been a boy she'd have been called Kester (short for christopher). Dp loves Jago (which he tells me Cornish for Jack).

My dp is from Irish stock and if it's a boy, he's determined to call him Finbar (I'm not that keen because it means "fair haired", and he probably won't be). My favourite boy's name ever which I LOVE is Podrick (from Padraig), but everyone I've spoken to thinks this will be cruel, although I can't think why, and it can be shortened to Pod which I think is so cute. Unfortunately dp's surname begins with a "K", so it doesn't roll off the tongue very comfortably. Otherwise I would insist!

Other names I also like include

Rafferty
Rustin
Milo
Rusty
Albert
Aldous
Finbar
Edgar
elwood
earl

My friend has a boy in her class called Florian and his sister is Delilah...I think they are fab names but dh doesn't agree!

Discomonkfish · 10/11/2004 17:26

charleypops...love those names especially Rafferty...don't know if you read The Viz though, there was a character in there called Finbar Saunders and his double entendres

nightowl · 11/11/2004 02:44

ahem...whats wrong with jordan? if dd had been a boy she would have probably been addison...but i was reading a strange book at the time..i didnt give too much thought to boys names cus i knew she was a girl!

My DS is Sebastian which I still love. It works in both germany and australia.

Our second choice was Alexander which will probably still be in the running for no. 2

I also really liked Raphael - shortened form Raph, but my DH didn't like it. I might still make a play for it for no. 2.

My DH wanted Felix latin for happiness or something like that and a very popular name at the moment in Germany, along with Leon Henri is very popular over here at the mo and a woman in my mothers' group just called her baby Owen which I quite like.

Lachlan Murdoch's little boy was just born and called Kalan which is celtic apparently but with made up spelling, which is a bit of a I think.

Here is a good list Essential Baby

It is funny the differences in popular names from country to country.

AussieSim · 11/11/2004 04:16
