I struggled naming first DS and have used up the only boys name I like.

I don't actually know what the sex of this baby is but have loads of girls names but can't think of one single boys name

Please help me so that my baby doesn't grow up without a name!!!

Are you able to say what your ds is called? And what sort of names do you like, e.g. biblical, popular, unusual, have to have a certain sort of meaning etc? Are there any initial letters you would rule out?

I had the same struggle, but luckily had DDs.

The name I love (and would have used) is Theo.

Oh I'm so pleased for you ...you know you're going to have to share baby with me don't you?

How far gone are you? Do Hannah and Oliver know? What do they think? What are your step-daughters called?

Aww Eve is lovely

Have you got a long short list for boys?

I settled on Matthew for ds, and had a real struggle deciding as we have a dreadful surname too. Other possibilities were
Oliver
Charlie
Samuel
Ben
Thomas
Joshua
I love ds' name, but it isn't exactly uncommon, and dd does pronounce it Maff Yew

I think all the names suggested are lovely but not quite right for me. I do like Max, but wasn't sure if it sounded a bit old man ish.

Plonker, I only just got BFP the other week, not sure exactly how many weeks. I'm having a scan in a couple of weeks. Have to have an early one because last pregnancy was ectopic.

I haven't told the DC yet as want to wait until I definately know that everything is OK.

DSD's are called Millie and Poppy

Ah lots of time to find the 'right' name then, if memory serves correct, you like to leave it till the last minute to decide

Good luck with your scan - let me know how you get on.

All your dcs and dsd's have beautiful names (Millie is especially gorgeous of course )

Oh, and Max is one of the names we had for dd3 if she had have been a boy - I don't think its old mannish at all

I too am having such big problems choosing a boy's name. I like Rudy but that has been vetoed by the family as too 'camp' or 'American'. I also like Elliot and Emil. HELP!!!
