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!

Axyl
Judah
Lake
Raynor/Reiner
Rook
Torquil

GL!

Jem (instead of Gem);
Edan/Eden;
Sage;
Rain;
Byron;
Mako;
Onyx;
River;
Zen;
Caspian;
Grover (one of meow's favourites);
Jali.

Will have a think and subbing as I need 2 boys names!

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 remembered Will Smith's son has a gemstone derived name- Jaden.

Also Malachite sounds cool.

Stone
Moss
Tiger

My hairdressers DS name is Reef !

How about Anton or Leif !

Magnus
Logan
Roman
Ayrton
Jonah
Malachi
Monty
Luca

Started thinking about this myself, no ideas for #3!

Oscar :) and Benjamin :) I also love Jude, DH couldn't agree as Jude is the patron saint of hopeless cases :lol:
Parker is another one.

I heard of a little boy named Elwood yesterday. Definitely has a nature feel to it.
We know a little boy named Wolf....just to continue with the animal names previously mentioned.

We are calling our little boy Wyatt. I love it because it is uncommon and an old fashioned name.

I wasthinking of some of the male nature names and a lot have been generally daggy-fied in history. What an injustice!

Glen
Elmer
Basil
Lee... Ooo but then this inspired meto search names meaning "meadow" on thinkbabynames and there are some great names...

Bosley
Baxley
Barclay
Gordon
Ingo

There are heaps more good ones if you do the search!

What about,

-Sunny
-Benji
-And I love Jem, my DP is Jeremy - shortened to Jem.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for all your fantastic suggestions. I just read them all out loud to DH and he liked 1! Yes, ONE! And not one that particularly grabbed me. Siiiigh... better than none I suppose. I like quite a few there and have popped my favourites on my little list... plenty of time to work on DH! Problem is, I chose DD's name and we agreed that he'd pick this one. Almost hoping it's a girl cause at least I like his only suggested girl's name!

Thanks again for putting in the time and creativity, it's much appreciated.

Oscar
Logan
