10 weeks to ago, no short list for my baby boy!

Also suggest that if hes not sure on the first name that he can have one of his 'normal' names as a midle name :) x

Hiya, dont have many suggestions as i have all girls.
But one name that i loved was Axel
Maybe Felix, Jasper, Maddox, Max, Phoenix, Dax, Seb (instead of Sebastian), Ellis, Finlay, Beau?

I love more unusualy names, they just have a more quirky side to them, otherwise they go into a class of Toms and Harrys, and theres literally 5 in each class wit the same name. Its much nicer to give them a name thats theirs, rather than sharing it with millions of others. However i think theres a line with unusual names, and names like Tree and Phone have more than crossed that line.
Iy should be a cool unique name but not an embarassing one.
Hope its helped! Try to explain to your partner that you dont want him to have the same name as 5 other kids in his class etc (he'll come round ;] )

I know that everyone wants their child to be an individual, and they will be no matter what their name is? I like names that are different too but not so different that that they are like and outcast when they go to school? Don't forget that whatever name you give them they will carry through life? When it comes to getting a job and they have a weird name, they are not really going to be taken seriously?

I want my sons to feel that they are individuals but not to the point that they feel totally alien due to having such a unique name? Where ever you go you will always find that there are always going to be children/adults with the same name but when there are a few others thats not a bad thing it will make them feel normal and able to fit in with society better?

There is an artical on here by a professor about naming your child? Have a read?

There is one other thing to remember, the disagreement between your and your partner should be a compromise as it is his baby too?

Good luck, x

Hello, at the moment I'm 30 weeks with my 1st - a little boy! Me and Daddy are finding it sooo difficult even agreeing on a 'short list'. I'd really like him to grow up not meeting anyone with the same name as him, but I know that's not deffinitely something I can control and since my partner likes more 'normal' names it seems even more unlikely that he'll end up with a truely unique one. I also really love the name Loxley, however, partner hates it. I feel stuck :( Any suggestions? xx
