Oh sorry I'm in the same boat as you. Got heaps of girls names but I'm struggling with the boys names.
Cheer up - my friend's brother welcomed a son two weeks ago - affectionately called 'roof-rack' because they still can't find a name for him.

omg roof-rack, lolol
hhhm here's some of the names we liked (as you can see we didn't get to use any, lol)
Leo (my absolute fav)
Bailey
Issac
Xavier
Xander
Carlos
Its all so individual, boys can be hard to anme i think. We had settled on leo as a boys name for ayja, or couse, she came out an Ayja so we didn't need it. Had #3 been around it would have been sage/saige either way - a name we had wrestled with since before we had paris.
good luck - i was still on the net the night before i had paris trying to find boys names - darn lucky she came out a girl.

Hey this is a website that we used when looking for names. Is really really difficult took us ages to settle on one.
And you could always call him roof-rack lol
The website is quite good, you can see the meanings and origins of names and you can search boy girl and unisex

I'm not a fan of Max either, I know too many dogs with that name.
Our top picks for boys are James/Jamie and/or Alexander/Alex.
Also depends on your last name, ours is quite long 10 characters so I prefer shorter first names.
We also like traditional British names as that's where our families are originally from.

it depends if you want a common name or not..i was a teacher for 5 years and i spell my name every day so for a boy or a girl we wanted an easy to spell name ..pity as there are some beautiful hard to spell names:) I'm not into family names either so that cut heaps out..or unisex names..lol:) somehow we managed to settle on Nathan, Ethan, Jacob and Luke...as you can see he ended up Ethan...
we were the same as you..had a girls name from about 8 weeks:)

Great thread because we have no idea what we'll call our child if we have a boy. I like boys names that start with the letter L but so does everyone else we know and they've gone and used all the cool ones!! We've had our girls name sorted for about two years, now we just need the girl to give it too.
My cousin has a little boy called Oscar. When I first heard it I thought'hmmmm' but it suits him so well.

Some of my favourites are:
Oliver 
Callan
Lachlan
James

You could also try www.babynamegenie.com you can enter your surname and it comes up with first & middle names for you. Or if you need a middle name then it can do that. Sometimes though it comes up with weird ones, our surname is Dale and one of the suggestions was 'Donovan Dale Dale' - hmmm yeah maybe not!

If we hadn't gone with Kaleb we were going to use Bailey. On our way to Middlemore DH turned to me and asked what I thought of Elijah(?) - which I must say I quite like. We didn't name Kaleb until he was born.
