Right then....boys names!!

We found out today this baby is a blue one. We always said boys names were easier but we've not had to pick one before!! Ideas/inspiration/current favourites all greatly received. Our name needs to go with Poppy and on our list so far we have Arthur, Theo, Reuben, Rupert, Hector. Middle name will be Nicholas.

  • Yey for a boy!!

    My favourite names are:

    Caleb

    Cole

    Lucas

    Wyatt

    Zane

  • Boys are awesome!

    Love the list

  • Are Reuben/hector/Rupert posh do you think?? I'm not posh....
  • Deedee I LoVE Lucas but it'd be ridiculous with our surname :-(
  • Ah yes, so it would Laugh bit like my married name!

    I don't think any of them are particularly posh, they're all lovely names on your list.

  • love Caleb and Lucas! x

  • Whoop for a boy.

    I really like Rupert, and Reuben goes well with Poppy.

    If I had another boy, he'd be Brodey. Other names I love (apart from the Casey and Jacobey I already have) are Corey, Tobey, Riley and Finley.

  • Rupert is probs middle/upper middle class, I'd say. The other two aren't at all

    A friend who had Hector on her list called her baby Monty. His womb name was Octavious!

  • My mums cat is Monty. Loving Octavious! Haha!
  • I love Arthur and Rupert. I'm biased though as they are what I would call a son.

  • Oscar & Mason would be on my list

    Theo & Reuben are nice

  • Congrats on a boy!!! Love your list!!! xxx

  • I love a posh name. I'd say they are (obviously not to Hollywood cos she's uber posh) Laugh

    Boys are so hard for me.

    Stanley

    Hugo

    Barney

    Ed

  • Rupert and Hector are a wee bit posh, but there's no rules! He'll be who he'll be, it is only weird now because he's not here, once it's bestowed upon him I bet you find it suits him perfectly! My fave of yours is Reuben :)

  • Reuben was most likely our boys name last time, so I'm hoping someone uses that soon!

    Nathaniel (Nate) was my only other real contender.

  • Many congrats on having a boy too, fab news!

  • I love Theo and Reuben. Hector does make me think 'posh' but that's probably because the only person I know is through a friend and work and he does sound very posh!

    I definitely prefer boys names to girls, I don't find that I'm as judgemental about them! Maybe it's because at school in the 80's/90's pretty much every boy was either Michael, David, Daniel or Matthew, there wasn't much variation so I don't tend to associate the more modern names with anyone I know/knew.

  • I vote arthur. We having it for a middle name if this baby is a boy. George? Henry?

  • Oddly poppy would have been George or Henry. I wouldn't use either now though, George because of the prince and I now know several Henrys. I also like Albert :-)
  • Theodore, Rupert and Arthur are on our list too! I also like Barney. And Alfred.
