I really just think I hate every single boys' name.

I am having such trouble even finding enough names to get a final four! The exact opposite of my girls' names situation! (if you're interested, another poll here)

Oliver's my favourite, but my stepsister has a son called Oliver. I don't see her all that much, but still... bit weird? Besides, it is the #1 name. Perhaps I should branch out

I really like Rowan Edward and think it flows really well!

My favorite name of all of your names is August. (I actually really love the name!) I would pick August Firth or August John... Arthur is my second choice. Fionn is a little odd for me... but it isn't bad. I like Arthur John better. Rowan Edward seems odd to me because both have W's in them. I suggest Rowan Edmund (although I personally don't care for Rowan). John is boring compared to your other cool names.

I wouldn't want my child to have the same name as my step sister's child. I would try to find a name other than Oliver.

I hope I helped a little...

Thanks for your responses so far, really helpful!

I'm also thinking about Emmett Henry now. The Twilight connection is a bummer, but I doubt anyone will think of that in a few years time.

I understand your dilemma! When I found out I was having another boy I was excited!...and then I realized I had to name him. I already used the only boys name I truly loved (Simon) for my first son. I like other names but I wasn't so much in love with them. After all, I'm going to be saying this name everyday for the rest of my life. Hefty! I finally think I've found a name I love (Giles) and most everyone is iffy on it at the very least. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I don't care. And then...there's the middle name dilemma...ugh....ANYWAYS....I like your last suggest of Emmett Henry and I do like Arthur as well. While I really like Oliver, I would say it's out.

I voted Rowan Edward, but I would have voted Emmett Henry if I'd had the choice. That is a great name.

I think Emmett Henry is adorable (and I'm not a Twilight fan, but I'm generally aware of the names - this doesn't ring a bell at all). Rowan Edward flows very nicely together and I like Rowan a lot. Someone I know has a boy named Rohan, which is similar, and I always thought it was cool. As for Oliver, it's cute, but is your stepsister the type to be easily annoyed if you use the same name? I would avoid it if there's a chance of that, but if not, do what you like! Good luck! I'm having the hardest time finding boy names, too.

Arthur Fionn is GREAT! I like all your boy's names!

I love those combinations! Arthur Fionn is great, as is Rowan Edward. Oliver is a secret favorite of mine, that I'll probably never use, and I LOVE August. I'd really prefer it to be the fn- August John, or August Oliver, even.
