Hit me with your boy names :)

**kelsbels** · August 1st, 2011, 09:38 PM

So with my DD, we had Oliver Mitchell picked out but in Jan this year my brother named his boy Oliver Maxwell. Hubby and I never had a back up name, just couldn't agree on anything else, and now we're stuck!

I still like Mitchell but I don't love it. Hubby likes Dexter but I can't get my head around it. We like something slightly different but not too unusual, our last name is quite long and starts with G.

Other names I like
Sebastian (too long?)
Solomon (too long?)
Jai (dunno about J names tho)
Elliott (don't want it shortened!)

I'm so stuck! It's going to take me 8 months to find a name!

Oh, and DD is Anais

I find boys name soooo hard. We had Mitchell on our list as well as Luke/Lucas and Callan. Apart from Callan, we can't have the other two due to friends naming their kids that and I am swaying away from Callan.

Anais is such a lovely French name, have you thought about something French? I don't know any French boys names but I am sure there was a thread going around that suggested some.....

From your list I like Sebastian and Jai. Solomon sounds like a tough man name (JMO) and I think Elliot would be shortened to Eli.

What about Oscar instead of
Oliver?

**Kimbles01** · August 1st, 2011, 10:13 PM

Callum instead of Callan?

Masterchef is totally influencing me, I'm considering Hayden in my list!!

Hamish is also a nice option

A good friend has an Oscar unfortunately.

Yeah I've just been browsing French and Persian names to match Anais but nothing has really jumped out.

What do you think of Flynn or Felix? I know Flynn is a little more popular but to me it feels really strong.

I love hamish! Don't think hubby will go for that one but might try!

**Kimbles01** · August 1st, 2011, 10:17 PM

Good luck! I love it, but too much of a mouthful with my surname

**Pandora** · August 1st, 2011, 10:23 PM

I love Felix

Hmm..French-ish

Names I wanted to call my sons but DH ruled out were:

Myron
Gabriel
Lucien
Jean-Louis
François
Étienne
Luc

i love the name Dexter!! Dex for short.... but my dh doesnt like it....
the X is a very strong letter hence why i like x's in names. so Felix is good too.

similar to Callan i like Caden or Cadel, Kale

**kelsbels** · August 1st, 2011, 10:45 PM

Lol nickers, how is your name search going?

**kelsbels** · August 1st, 2011, 10:45 PM

Actually I like Caden too

**nickers** · August 2nd, 2011, 06:50 AM

Lol nickers, how is your name search going?

the more i search the less i seem to find, pretty set on a girls name i think but boys is so much harder!!

Caden was actually a name on our list before even falling pregnant with ds1, i still think its nice, but we will keep trying to find a name with the letters we want
