Baby boy names

Why are boys names so hard? I feel so unprepared having no name. With my daughter, I knew soon as I seen the name she was going to be a Vienna. There’s not one single boys name I have fell in love with and it’s stressing me out because I don’t want to wait until he is here then just panic and give him any name 😭

Same 😫 with my first I knew what girls name and boys name I would have. This time we've found a girls name but only as my partner wanted that for his first but can't find a boys name we like

I’m vice versa lol, I had one and only name I wanted for my son,m before I even got pregnant, was easy. As for the girls name, so far, not a single name enchanted me to pick it

A boys name with an i in it would go nicely with Vienna if that’s any help 😅

I really wanted a boy 1st time around.. ended up having a girl. Now I’ve got a boy, I have totally no idea regarding name 🤣 if he was a girl I loved Nellie, Darla or Dakota!

I love Vincent. But I do know a girl I don’t really get on with who’s son is called that so I’m put off 🤣

Vaughn would go nice if you wanted another V or Dakota could work for a boy…?

I also know a girl who’s got a Vaughn 🤣. I feel Dakota is more girly too. I love Devon but I live in Devon so kinda wouldn’t work.

Was the opposite case for us! Luckily we had a boy and had our name chosen or we’d have had an unnamed girl or name we didn’t love. Our little man is Sebastian or Bastian as we nickname him. If we were to have a girl now we’d call her Viola. My bestie has a Hendrix who they call Hendry which I quite love too!

Kian is nice name it's mean he's a King

I really like that name it’s so cute! it is hard when you know someone with the name though 😂

Avatar

We are struggling too! I feel like all of our friends have boys so my top name picks are out.
Are there any family names on either side that you like??

Avatar

absolutely nothing. I was going to use the middle names ‘Edward James’ as my grandad, dad and brother along with his son have the same middle name but regards to first name. Absolutely nothing I even half like!

Avatar

I had about 10 girls names that I absolutely loved....now I know hes a boy; boys names I have nothing at all.
Have some what I think are justbstandard nice non offensive names like Ben, Henry and George but apart from that - Nothing!

it’s so hard isn’t it! My boy name was Dylan but had 2 girls! Also love Ethan & Rafe.
Most unusual I’ve heard are Ziggy, Onyx, Harlem, Cub, Thierry, Dario, Lavelle, Reefe

Avatar

one of my good friends named her daughter Dylan and I actually love it for a girl!

Avatar

Edward James is great!
My boyfriends top choice is Otto (I hate it) and I love the name Logan. But the only one we agree on so far is Jack, his grandpas name. Haven’t even thought about a middle name yet.

I have chosen for my boys international and christian names, maybe bit old-fashioned names, but everything is old fashioned always comes back.
My friend picked names of kings for her children.
I think It's worth to check the meaning of names.

If you’re not against a theme with your two baby’s names, you could do another place name!

Austin
Lincoln
Dallas

I feel like for me would be the other way around! My first boy right away as soon as I found out it was a boy we named him Maximiliano and now that we’re expecting a second boy we’ve already chosen the name as well and I’m only 21 weeks 😬🥰

Avatar

If I had a boy, he was going to be jonah, but im having a girl!!! I had both names picked out. So was ready regardless!!! It is hard when you knownits something they've got to live with!!! Im sure you'll find the perfect name for him!!

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
