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
Normal names ay?
Hmm... Michael...Nicholas.....Jacob...Micah... Sebastian... Mitchell... Joshua... Brodie.... Alex...Wyatt (yes most of these are my nephews.. LOL)
HOw about Lachlan?
Some names:
Harrison
Jacob
Cameron
Hamish
Connor
Elliot
Fletcher
Isaiah
Emmerson
Edward
Byron
Ian
Alasdair
Maxwell
Tristain
Tobias
Brodie James sounds nice as does Lachlan James
max??
Hayden without a doubt ;)
Others on my list for this bub are
Reuben
Rowan
Archer
Carter
Owen
Xander
Jared
Lucas
Blake
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 :rofl:
Nate ;)?
What happened to Lachlan?
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.
I have no idea :rofl: If i cant name my own kid what help will i be to anyone else! :rofl:
LOL, Tegam, I find it easy to suggest names for others, but my own kids...well, not so easy!
We had chosen Lachlan, whch *I* still like, but DH found out it's one of the top 10 names in Aus, and now he's not so sold on it! Mind you our other two kids names are in the top 50! There are sooo many names I have suggested to DH that he just doesn't like-
Lucas (it's a friends little boys name, but we're unlikely to see this friend in a looong time!)
Owen (DH doesn't like the character on Grey Anatomy... no seriously!)
Callum (DH doesn't like the nick-name Cal)
Jeremy (DH just doesn't liek it)
Hamish (as above)
DH has suggested Dylan, while it's a lovely name, I have terrible name association and being an Early childhood teacher, have known alot of Dylan's, (not to offend anyone) but most have been the most misbehaved child in the room at the time!
There have been soooo many more names, but nothing else is standing out. If only he was a she, I had the perfect name!
:lol: i agree with yoour DH yucko to some of those names hehe:
Also agree that about the Dylan name. Whilst they have all been good looking they have all had a naughty side!
Louis
Jared
Patrick
Timothy
Rhys
Funny!
our first choice was Dylan because i love how its associated with cheeky (rather than naughty) boys!!!

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 :wall: 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
Seamus
Eamonn
Rory
Joel
Cohen
Rohan
Jade
Casey
Troy
Kurtis
Finley
My apologizes OP if these names have already been said!
* Thomas
* Levi
* Ashton
* Ethan
* Marcus
* Nate
* Jed
* Asher
* Spencer
* Phoenix
Me likey:
Connor
Felix
Isaac
Harrison
Quinn
Hadley
Holden (not after the car, I just really like the name!)
My DH seems to have a shared issue amongst hubbys/partners - if he knows someone who has the name and he doesn't like that person - name's off the list lol pretty simple.. but makes it awfully difficult to pick a good name!
