Boys names
Morning everyone!! I know that this question has been asked loads on here so I apologise for asking yet again.
I'm due my second baby in August, don't know the sex of it and me and hubby are arguing about boys names! I love the name 'Riley' but hubby hates it, he likes 'Len' but I'm not so sure.
Could you all give me a list of your favourite boys names to try and inspire us? Many thanks.

I wanted to call my last baby Regan if it were a boy. When she arrived we chose something else, as although I think it suits a girl too Mr Pippa kept harping on about the little girl in 'The Exorcist' having that name...lol.
A friend of mine has just called her son Marley (yes, after Bob..not the tiles) I also like:
Jensen
Bruno
Fred
I know...I have strange taste in names ;o)

I love the name Riley and wanted it for my baby (but spelt Reilly) but hubby said no, what is it with men and that name?

Hayden
Will
I'm having a Spencer Drew. A combination of hubby's grandad and my maiden name. I think its quite cool and even the in-laws like it!
To help choose I went on a names website and literally scrolled through the A-Z list and wrote down the names that jumped out at me. I then handed hubby the list and left him on his own to write "yes", "no" or "maybe" next to each name. From that we drew up a short list.

For our first we looked through the graduation lists in the papers as we couldn't make ou minds up. on the original list we had Alec, Walker, Kerr.
We ended up with a choice of Craig or Gregor. Ended up with Craig. We stuggled even more with no 2. we were sticking a pin in the map and seeing what it came up with and he was almost called Cairn, but we thought that was a wee bit too original. We then had a choice of Ciaran or Keir - we ended up with Ciar!
My friend has called her little boy Archie,
My neices two boys are Caleb and Oscar.

My Son is called Marley Issac which i think as a nice ring to it, Im due in 4 weeks and Ive decided on Elijah but I cant think of a middle name as yet, my partner likes Kingston which im not so sure on, I thought Franklin but as he will have a double barrled surname I thought it would be a bit of a mouthfull! I have a few names i like for boys....
Demetrio
Juan
Kia
Frederico
Theodore
But for girls I can only ever come up with Daisy! I like unusual names, but as soon as you call your child something different and its in the paper everyone pinches the name anyway!
Out of your 2 I would choose Len, but Riley is nice, you will change your mind countless times anyway!!

We loved Monty, but realised he'd spend his life explaining it wasn't short for Montgomery. Also, we have a long surname so had to keep it short! Shortlist was Adam, Monty or Euan. (My Welsh roots showing...)
When I was pregnant with my eldest, we looked at lists everywhere, especially film credits as they just roll by for ages. We also joked about "Yamamoto" after finishing a Playstation game that was obviously written by Japanese programmers. Tha name stuck for the whole 9 months until we HAD to choose a permanent one!!
