Hi
We don't know the gender of our baby, due in 10 weeks. We're struggling to find a boy's name that we agree on. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Names we both like but can't use (for various reasons, like family members with the name already, etc):
Thomas
James
Nicholas
Samuel
Benjamin
Joshua
Finn
Charles
So we're looking for something in this style, classic, no strange spellings.
I really love Hamish, but can't seem to convince DH.
Hit me with some ideas!

I love Hamish! We have an Oscar and I think if our next baby is a boy he may be a Hamish.
So I'll suggest Oscar  On top of that though I will add: Joseph Zachary Angus Daniel Rory Lucas Corey Liam Jacob Seth Flynn (not sure if too close to Finn for you) Owen Christopher Patrick Ethan Harvey Vincent Mitchell Miles Ryan Alexander EDIT: Sorry, just saw some have already been mentioned.

You mentioned you like Finn, could you use Finley instead? Or Flynn?

I love your style! What a shame your husband doesn’t like Hamish. How about Isaac or Austin?

If you like Hamish maybe;
Angus Sean/Seamus Flynn Ewan Cameron Lachlan Fletcher Roan or just keep saying Hamish until he gets used to it 
#14Posted 05 April 2019 - 06:27 AM
You are all so helpful!! Thanks! I think I'm going to try the suggestion of continuing to say hamish til he likes it!! But you've given me some other good ones too.

#16Posted 07 April 2019 - 11:08 AM
Reuben was the first name that popped into my head.
Edward Joseph Jackson William Arthur Christopher #17Posted 15 April 2019 - 09:47 PM

#18Posted Yesterday, 09:13 PM
As an update, I've continued saying Hamish over and over, and in fact he seems to be coming round...!
Others we quite like, but are not settled on yet, are Jonathan Elliot Ethan Hamish is still the front runner for me. Thanks for all your help! Seven weeks until we find out if it's a Hamish or a...! #19Posted Yesterday, 09:21 PM
