Baby Boy Name Dilemma!

Boy Names
1

My husband and I just found out that we are expecting our second boy - he is due on our first son’s birthday, this [name_u]June[/name_u].

During our first pregnancy, we struggled to agree on a boy’s name. We ended up looking at our long list of girl’s names to see if there were any that had a male counterpart and were in complete agreement on [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (from [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]). Once it was decided, we never wavered, and it suits our son perfectly to this day.

This time, however, we have been completely unsuccessful in agreeing on any name. I have given my husband my top 5 names - [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_m]Bodie[/name_m], [name_u]Beau[/name_u], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] - and he dislikes all of them. He has suggested [name_m]Odin[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m], and I can’t really picture either of those working.

We want a name that will work well with [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], since they will be so close in age. Any suggestions? Last name is [name_m]Wilson[/name_m].

Your help is very much appreciated!

Sincerely,
[name_f]Laura[/name_f]
