    Red face Need help with boys names

    I don't usually post about names but I'm getting desperate!

    We do not know if Boo is a pink or blue bundle. We have two girls names picked that we are happy with but are really struggling with boys names!!

    Looking for some suggestions...our 'criteria' would be not too popular (so no Coopers, Rileys, Jacks etc) and not too modern either (like Jett or Diesel or anything like that - wouldn't go with our other children's names).

    We'd like something strong, more traditional but not too boring.

    Joel? Kieran? LOL! Don't ask me, I find boy's names soooo hard! I like the name you were tossing around recently though, is your DH not convinced yet?

    I hope you find one you love soon

    P.S I can't believe you're full-term already

    We are planning the next one and the boys name we've picked is Chad Thomas or Thomas Chad. You can steal it if you like

    Trish - Yep, DH is well convinced on that one, it's me that's not!! I tend to be indecisive till the birth anyway. Would just like a few options iykwim? (thanks for not posting the name ) I actually love Kieran...I can't remember if I ended up suggesting it to DH or not

    Nate is cool but our friends have a Nathaniel who they call Nate so that's out - we are all very close and our families spend lots of time together.

    Love Thomas too but it's my Dad's name and DH wouldn't let me use it for a first name so it's DS's middle name.

    Thanks for the suggestions, nothing grabbing me so far but keep them coming please!

    Well, you are more than welcome to name your bub Kieran I still love his name

    You sound like my DH, you like a particular name, but still want to keep your options open. Hopefully when he/she arrives, you will just know

    Willow ... we were the same had a girl's name picked out (well had for many years, LOL) ... and had NO boy's name right up until i went into labour 2 days past me due date Infact the night before i went into labour after months of looking at name books, websites, relatives name, etc ... we were back on the net for names til midnight & i said to DP "I'm off to bed if this a boy he will have no name for sometime like my younger sister did" ... Um, gave birth to a girl that next morning, she saved us a huge headache

    You can have my fav boy's names (that DP wasn't keen on 'em)

    There you go Willow, some other people who like the name Kieran, it must be a sign

    Bekz - You have great taste, you have suggested my DS2's name, his middle name and my DH's name LOL!

    Thanks so much girls.

    Overnight I think I've settled on our #1 choice again (had another little 'sign' ), but it's great to have a few others on the list just in case. I was adamant DS would be named Levi until he was born and it just wasn't right, so the thought of only having one name makes me a little nervous!

    I just adore old man names, but DH wants something a little edgier. He has however agreed that we can use old mans names for middle names whether its a boy or a girl, so all my kids will have old man middle names!

    My faves are Henry, Arthur, George and Montgomery.

    If the little one inside me is a boy, it will have the middle name Arthur, and if it is a girl it will have the middle name Montgomery. DH says Montgomery reminds him of The Simpsons, but I think it sounds lovely and its so nice to say.. Arthur is my grandfathers name too so I think thats nice.
