Still not feeling my boy's name.

My first son is named Peter. It was so easy for us to come up with his name. They told us it was a boy at 15 weeks, and we said, "Oh hi, Peter!" Simple as that, we never second guessed it.

That is why I am getting so frustrated with #2's (also a boy) name. I have thought of many wonderful names, but I am not "feeling" any of them. We "settled" on Theodore, which I LOVE, but I really don't feel like it's OUR baby's name.

I have tried out a few, Charles, Thomas, Clark, Theodore, Paul, and Maxwell. But I am just not sure. I am stating to wonder if he will ever have a name!

a few ideas:

Wesley (Wes)

Bradford or Bradley

Henry

Harrison (Harris or Harry)

Graham (Gray)

Timothy (Timmy)

Quentin (Quinn)

Jasper

Zachary (Zach)

Vincent (Vince)

Oliver (Oli)

Charlie / Charles

Everett (Rhett)

Christopher (Kit)

Theodore is a really cute name, but if you aren't feeling it just try running through a couple of names with Peter's name as well.

Peter and Henry
Peter and Paul
Peter and Christopher

Just thoughts!

I also want to add that i LOVE the name Clark!
The only thing is Peter Parker is spiderman and Clark Kent is Superman...not sure that bothers you?

What about Joel?

Just wanted to say that I had the same exact experience naming my two boys! You're not alone

Sometimes it just happens that way. My DD's name is Elizabeth adn we call her Scarlett. Naming fail. Tessa DH and I never agreed on a name and I still am not feeling her name and she is 14 months old. I wanted to name her Audrey he wanted to name her Tessa. He won and I am still a little annoyed.

I like Theodore the best. I don't think I have the same naming style as you, so I dont think your going to like any names I come up with.. but just for suggestions I'll list some of my favorite boys names.. maybe one will hit you, if not im sorry
