I am really struggling to find a boy's name this time round.  I'll be having my scan next month and I really don't mind what sex baby is, but because we have a girl's name, it will be so easy if bubs is a girl.  I'm thinking that if we find out it's a boy, I'll get anxious about having to find a blimmin' name!!

So please, any suggestions, that you think will go along with our other children's names too.  Difficult - I know! 

I would have Luca at the drop of a hat, but Dh is dead-set against it.  His suggestions I'm not fond of at all.  A couple are; Costa, Ngarimu, Nuku and can't remember the rest (he had about 5).  I don't want to settle on a name that I don't love.  And i don't even like any of his ideas.  I've looked on the net so many times and none of the names jump out at me, and if any do and I tell Dh he doesn't like it.

HELP!  I'd love to go into my scan, having a name for a boy!

I like a lot of those names, problem is we either know someone else with them, or Dh doesn't like them.  I have LOVED Reef since I was a kid - thought I made it up!  I also like Ryder and Trey but DH doesn't.  We know a Seth, Kian, Dane, Tai, Reef, Carlo.  I think Cruz is pretty cool but know Dh wouldn't have it.  I have thought of Rocco, but too close to Rico.

With all our childrens names, Dh has been the one to suggest it, and I've liked it.  He's NEVER liked my ideas.  I've suggested Luca since pg with Gia, and he's always turned it down.  Originally he said it was a girl's name (I've never thought that, nor heard of a girl named that), now he says it's cos his friend is Luke and it's too close to that.  See how hard it is for me?!!  With the other 3, we had our names for each sex by now.  Except with Gia - had no boys name until I found Caius.  Dh liked that and the day I went into labour with her (we didn't know the sex) we said Gia for a girl, Caius for a boy.  I didn't love Caius but it was the only one we could agree on.  Now I have a niece called Kaia so we couldn't have Caius anyway - too close.

Boys names are hard! I like the way Luca sounds and it would go perfectly with your kids names. I like the names Eli and Archie, though I kinda like names that are cute and that babies don't have to 'grow' into, for example calling a baby Bruce.

Yes we liked Nikau too - but chose Rico over that.  I don't mind Marco, but don't love it either.  Kandice - have a friend with a boy Noah - born 3 days after Jett!

Liz - DH would sing that same song everytime I suggested Luca - think that's why he thought it was a girl's name - cos it's a chick singing.  Luca is italiah or Russian - Luka.  And I know that name would go perfect with the other 3!

Nikki our kids names do have an italian feel to them - Gia is, but Rico is spanish.  So I was searching for more italian and spanish names, but most of them would be too hard to pronounce in little old NZ, plus they don't sound as good with a kiwi accent. 

There are plenty of names I would probably have, but it's getting Dh to agree!!  I'm scared to suggest any knowing Dh will just straight up say no. 

haha Renee - I'm trying to be stubborn!!!  I've been suggesting it since baby #2!  But since Dh had a falling out with his mate Luke last year, he's even more against his child having a name sounding so close. 

haha, so many of these names I like - but know people with them!  Brooklyn, my niece. Cohen a friend's boy.  I liked Makaia when pg with Gia, but now can't have it with my niece being Kaia.  Dh liked Dante (I don't).  I quite like Ciro/Cairo but don't know if I like it enough to have it.  And a little too close to Kaia, got the KAI sound at the start.  Like Ryder and Levi - Dh doesn't.  Like Taj, but Dh's "friend" Luke has a cat named that.  Have a friend called Isaac (he is my ex as well).  Quite like Leo, but my best friend liked that for her last boy, and I think if I used it she might get the snots with me.  Oh kaiz I still couldn't use Lucas - still got the sound "luke" in it.

So many names have connections with other people, so we can't use them.  99% of my friends/aquintances have boys too.

THANKS SO MUCH for all these suggestions though girls!  Keep them coming!

And Kaiz - would love to see that book.  I'll pay for postage.

Soo true Kelly!  I think my Dh would make a good lawyer - he can talk his way into/out of anything!!  Makes it hard for me to win.  But I am getting smarter and can catch him out sometimes.

I was just thinking Kellz, that this thread will help any of the other preggie mums wondering about boys name - cos there seems to be few that are stuck too!

Sorry girls, but I'm not a fan of Elliot.

I could try Cruz with Dh, but am 99% sure he wouldn't go for it.

Lol kiwisj, about your dh being a federer supporter, so couldn't have rafael!  Rafael is much cuter.

Haha Kelly - good call!!  I know too many people!  And am related to too many as well.

I know 3 Malachi's. 

We've thought of Taine before, and Tane (pronounced Ta-ney).

Zade is pretty cool!  Bit different but not too out there. Hmm know a Cade too, actually a couple of Cade's.

Will go check out that site now.

Given the other names how about - Carlo, Kelso, Dante, Enzo, Matteo, Monte, Cesar, Elijah, Innes, Jax, Santos, Will, Christo, Cole....

I really like Jax...and think it works for a boy or a girl....

Rico, Gia, Jett and Jax

Hmm well have told Dh some suggestions from here, but he's not into them.  Including Cruz. 

A friend has a boy named Cade, and my nieces names are Bayley, Brooklyn, Eden and Kaia.  My nephews are Saul and Juda.  Just thought I'd mention those cos there are a few of those names suggested. 

Really can't have Nico/Nikau - just rhymes with Rico.  But I do really like it. 

I've decided that this baby just HAS to be a girl.

And Dh said that if we don't have a name when the baby's born, if it's a boy, then we'll just go to a family vote.  NO WAY!  I'm not having someone else name my child - I'm the one that has to use it everyday, and I won't have a name that I don't love!

How about Che or Shea (pronounced "shay")?

Rico, Gia, Jett and Che

Ahh if only I could persuade Dh to have Luca - I have tried!  The last conversation about it though, Dh was VERY adamant he'll never have that name.

Kelly - I hope you're right!!  Will save a lot of hassle that's for sure on picking a boy's name.  I liked a lot of those names suggested, but right now I can't remember them (very tired!).  Will go back through them when I can think clearer and let ya know.

Ok, so I *think* we may have found one - I REALLY like it and Dh says "it's ok" in a positive tone!  The more I think about it and say it, I like it!!  It's one I've thought of in the past but haven't liked enough to have... but now it's come back to me and I would easily have it.

What do ya'll think about Cairo??  Rico, Gia, Jett and Cairo.  And I quite like how you can shorted it to Ky.

Well....... I like it.

The ending is a little similar I guess with the "o" sound.  But it doesn't rhyme like Nikau does.

Dh wouldn't go for Lucas, and I don't like it how it love Luca.
