Boys names

[V8MoneyPit]

Ok guys and gals, this could be fun/interesting/alarming!

As some of you are aware we are expecting a baby boy soon and we are struggling to settle on a name. We seem to be able to come up with several girls names easily, but I suspect he wouldn't appreciate being called Sophie or Rebecca  :lol: We like the idea of something a little unusual, but not so strange as it will cause him aggro later in life.

When we do sit down and try to think of a name we usually find it degenerates pretty quickly into pure farce. So we'll see how long it takes on here  :lol:

Over to you........

[datalas]

Call him

"'; drop database;"

That'll be fun :)

[strapping young lad]

whats your surname

you dont want something like

hunt

and first name is michael

think about it

which is why our son is called james* and our surname is bowen ;)


* - not really

Good point.

I was in a mobile phone shop in bedford today and vicky pollards sister was there with her brat, she shouted really lady like "storm get the <edit> over here" i was tempted to bring her home to meet my mum..... :^o :P

[V8MoneyPit]

Given our surname and the fact my wife is from Scottishland, we did think of Fraser. One for the petrolheads on here  :D

[discowoman]

SUE













runs and hides  :lol:

[adafish]

old "young ones" scene....."SHUT UP or <edit> "

[strapping young lad]

brooklyn
romeo
cruz
jordan
theo (walcott)
kylie
hermione
harry
william
charlie

are imo all no-nos

the names wont be individual and everyone will think you got the name from a celebrity (never a good thing)

[Disco Matt]

I suspect when he gets to school there will be a fair number of children named after Olympians - how about Chris(topher) as in Hoy?

[solihull-mick]

shabba
levi
pato
choice is endless

[muddysteve]

Russel??


there can be only one 

[TDi90]

ROBERT

[Boggert]

How about Patrick or Daniel... Thats me and my son.

[Jake]

Jake is a very strong name  :twisted:
 :roll:

[karlo]

Jake is a very strong name  :twisted:
 :roll:

So's Hercules but you wouldn't call him that now would you  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[adafish]

our oldest girl is called HOPE,then the youngest daughet POPPY-LOU, and my little lad called MASON.....unusal names , but there are the is another POPPY in her class, and another girl called HOPE......as for MASON....we where away in Turkey a few weeks back, a new family arrive and the daughter of family shout at her brother...."MASON stop splashing me" , which was quite comical, with our little lad called the same

[muddyman]

Given our surname and the fact my wife is from Scottishland, we did think of Fraser. One for the petrolheads on here  :D

 How about Stuart,, ok so its my name  :)

[waveydavey]

I told my wife we should have either Horatio or Isambard (Seafarer & Engineer).
She wouldn't agree - I wonder if that's why we had girls?

ROBERT

Get's my vote.

Shortened to Rob is better.

IMO I don't like being called Bob, Bobbie, Bobby, Robb, Robby, Robbie

[beast5680]

Ethan
Morgan
Lucius  (think harry potter)

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

Don't forget to Google your choice before the birth. You don't want to find out after the event that he shares his name with somebody infamous.

Also think of how kids will shorten the name in the playground. We wanted to use William (family links) but it would have been shortened to a rather dubious Will Steele. I suppose it is only as bad as my "burglar's name" - Rob Steele.

[strapping young lad]

we have trystan and eva easy to spell and easy to say plus not easy to shorten which is handy, our nickname for both are longer than their proper names

hmm

[TDi90]

ROBERT

Get's my vote.

Shortened to Rob is better.

IMO I don't like being called Bob, Bobbie, Bobby, Robb, Robby, Robbie

yes i quite agree, but not Robby. thats just gay.

[Edge]

Ewan
Ethan
Jarrod
Bradley
Are a few you dont hear often.... have you thought of going down the route of foreign names?

[Tommo]

Give him a proper name, no fancey crap. The novelty of having a kid with an oddball name like 'ruben' will wear off anyway and then they have to live with it.

I always figured if i had kids i would pick names from the simpsons.

[burgerman]

 Fraser      :D

[lee celtic]

my two are called

Ryan Patrick

and

Kyle samuel

(Ryan for clear and present danger, Patrick was the father in law , Kyle as in Kyle Rees the hero in terminator , Samuel as in Sam Elliot from Road house coolest guy on the planet )

if we had another (which we won't ) we were going for Connor

[strapping young lad]

Ewan
Ethan
Jarrod
Bradley

the problem is that these names will become popular, so you cant win

people might associate ewan with ewan mcgregor and bradley with mr wiggins and ethan i know loads with it...

better sticking to something you all like

our daughter was supposed to be
aoife

eva in gaelic but my mum said she would have trouble explaining it

[discowoman]

well my 2 sons are
CHRISTOPER JONATHON
and
AIDEN JACK
 and yes the spellings are correct  lol
