We had an absolute nightmare trying to name our third boy! It’s so hard especially when you have all the same gender. We have a Stanley Benjamin, a James Richard and finally decided on Eli Robert. There are some great suggestions in your post.

What a great set of lists. We really struggled with naming our second son. I had the perfect girl name but we just couldn’t find the one for a boy. Obviously we got there in the end…

We went with Rowan in the end. If he’d been a girl he would have been Hermia from Midsummer Night’s Dream.

I found baby names sooo hard! I have two boys and typically there were loads of girls names I liked but hardly any boys! And the name I LOVED my husband didn’t! It’s a minefield 😂

Wow, that’s quite a list. Some of the celebrate names are hilarious! My nan told me that in her day they’d give you a list of names at the hospital. Guess there were no baby name books then, nor any fantastic Nanny M blog posts to the rescue. Xx
