Arghhh due in 2 weeks and don't have a Boys name!

[beco]

Hi everyone,

Here's my dilemma... we don't know if we're having a Boy or Girl but only have a girl's name so far and its keeping me awake at night as everyone keeps predicting that we're having a boy.

Its our first baby and we love the name Olive for a girl. Ollivier is my family name so its a nice reference. Middle name will be Cato - after our baby's paternal great grandparents whose surname was Cato (they only had a daughter so the Cato line ended with them). Surname is Duffy.

So Olive Cato Duffy for a girl and for a boy we need HELP!

My grandfather's name was Mick but Mick Duffy sounds a bit funny don't you think?

Any suggestions would be great... Thanks in advance!

What about Oliver for a boy?

If you want to keep Olive for a future girl, here are some other ideas that I think work with Olive:

Henry
Louis
Miles
James
Rupert
Reuben
Max
Michael (if Mick is short for Michael)

I wanted to use Micah with the nn of Mick. I think Micah and Olive would go well together. I also think Oliver Cato would work for a boy really well.

I like the pps suggestion of Micah, nn Mick. I rather like Mick Duffy. It makes me think of the Scottish surname McDuff, which is nice!

I absolutely love Oliver! I also absolutely hate Olive for a girl. Oliver for a boy and....keep searching for a girl.

Oliver? Or maybe Cato as a first name? But if you want to keep your combo intact for a future daughter, how about one of these:

Keane
Emmett
Quinn
Jude
Spencer
Levi
Grant
Issac

Great suggestions! I do love the idea of Cato as a first name but my partner thinks it will sound too much like Kate, he also doesn't like Oliver. Max was our first choice but some friends beat us to it! Contemplating Micah and also a new name in the mix - What does everyone think of Howie Cato Duffy?

I have an Olive and my boy name for the next baby is Louis.

I'm not sure if I like Howie with Duffy since they both end with E sound. I'd pick something with a different end sound- even Howard Duffy sounds better to me. Good luck!

My recommendation is ...

Cato (for a boy) [and] Juno (for a girl)

... as a sibset comprised of two-syllable ancient Latin unisex names.

Or ...

Olive [and] Laszlo

... as a sibset comprised of two-syllable "clunky-but-cool" names.
