    Help us find a boys name... PLEASE!

    OK, so it's early days, but it might just take us 32 weeks to agree on a boy's name. If it's another girl, we'll be fine but there just seem to be NO boys names we both like.

    We want to avoid anything common or traditional, but OK with 'old' names that haven't been used too much. I'd love something that is plant, gemstone or nature based but can't think of much. DH refuses to consider anything that he thinks of as a surname such as Mitchell.

    I like (but so far DH hates)...
    Jasper
    Asher
    Griffin
    Jarrah
    Gem

    Do these names (or our vague guidelines) inspire any ideas? Pleeeeease give it a shot. Or if this baby's a boy he's going to be called Ghengis - coz at least that one makes us laugh!

    My little boy is Jensen !

    All the boys names I suggest to DH, he just knocks back, so I'm in the same boat.

    I saw "nature names" and straight away thought of Grover. It's the new River, get in before the popularity hits!

    Zenith (love this!!)
    Leaf
    River
    Banjo
    Wren
    Fox

    There are a few good ones in Winter's Nicole Ritchie middle names thread too.
