    Yep, another boys name thread...

    We are really struggling with boys names for this bub. We just can't find one that is the *right* name. Our kids names are Lily Kate and Liam Jeffery. We have a few that we're ok with, but not that knocks our socks off, like the other kids names did. We would like something thats not totally out there, but not in the top 10 either. Middle names will be either James, Mark, Matthew or Charles.

    So any suggestions?

    Will watch this thread with interest as we are in the same position, pretty much same criteria too. Easy to pronounce and spell but not common, def not 10.

    Some on our list that we are considering (may help you too )

    Rueben, Sebastian, Micah, Nathaniel, Tallon, Elliott, Carter, Elijah, Phoenix, Lane, Austin and Emmett.

    HTH and good luck choosing

    DH and I have finally decided on a boys name, Malachi. I think its nice, not too out there, but not a common name either. I'm tempted to spell it Malakye, but we'll see what happens. Gotta fall pregnant first

    Silas,
    Jeremy,
    Kyran,
    Kalan,
    Nash,
    Ronan....

    Of the names already mentioned, I like Sebastian, Elliott and Rowan. IMHO, Lachlan is too similar to Lily and Liam.

    DH & I can't agree on any names either so I know what you're going through. My DH also has some stupid reasons for not liking names. Drives me nuts.

    Like not wanting it because he doesn't like the character on a tv show?? Yep my DH has stupid reasons for not liking names too....but I guess if you don't like it you just don't like it...

    Yeah like that. He says "didn't we go to school with someone called that?". And so he doesn't like it - and he can't even really remember properly so that person obviously made an impact Very frustrating.

    Just stalking - I'm sure this one is a boy and I find girls names soooo much easier to choose.

    Joshua (I can't use it, friends kids name!)
    Riley (as above)
    Isaac (is growing on me)
    Fletcher (dunno)
    Jaylen (colleagues kids name, can't use it!)
    Sean (my mum chose this for DS, but DH kept saying 'to be sure, to be sure to be sure'!)
    Jett (friends kids name - can't use it)
    Ryder (when the kid gets older......did you ride her! Can't use it!)
    Zac (doesn't really match with the other kids names, so not sure)

    LOL, that would turn me off any name too Leesa!

    Ok...out of these names which I like:

    Nathan Joshua- our first angels name
    Isaac/Luke/Noah/Ryan/Cooper/Justin/Jarrod/Hayden/Kai/Blake/Jake/Connor/Brighton/Tristan/Alexander/Nicholas/William/Mitchell- all close friends/family boys names
    Aidan/Jaiden- very popular, DH won't have them
    Damien- DH's name
    Damon- too close to DH name
    Evan/Flynne/Marcus- DH doesn't like them
