    35 weeks and no boy names yet.....help!

    Okay - so we have a girls name sorted but no boys Boys names are just so hard I think,

    So it needs to be a little bit traditional, no outrageous spelling, and a strong sounding name IYKWIM.

    It CAN NOT start with D or M or R or T and it can't have a 'ch' sound in it or a 'ell' finish - due to DS.

    Help! DH hates everything I suggest and I suggest soooooo much. I am the person at the park listening to every childs name and taking notes! lol! For what it's worth I'd also like something that is not seen as a surname. I really really want a name sorted - I don't want my bubs to be unnamed if we have another boy.

    Thanks ladies

    I feel your pain hon, boy's names are such a killer! Wish I could help, but while we have girls names (that we both like) coming out our ears we are stumped for boys' names!

    Not sure how much help I am on this one since I love the non traditional names usually.

    If we have another boy our name is Dash. If we have a girl its Addisson (Addy)... Funnily enough we're nit even sure whether we'll have another or not.

    I thought I'd add my son's name, Eli (or Elijah if you prefer a longer version) as it's somewhat traditional (we didn't know it was a bible name until after we named him!)

    The other one I had had is Kaydan which is not too out there but a nice variation on Hayden.

    Good luck!

    Im in the same boat. I really like Elliot, Eli, Nathaniel (but it ends in 'ell' so maybe not for you), Levi.

    These have all been shot down here, mainly because DH has friends Eli and Nathaniel( twins!) and Levi

    Good luck!

    I hear you on this! Before we found out we had a girl we were useless with boys names. I really liked Fletcher (though this does have the ch sound) and Griffin, and we both kind of liked Logan.

    Good luck!
