Hello all you AB mum's to be. Just thought I'd say, I had my 20 week scan today and all looked fine. I don't think baby liked it too much and ended up writhing around, but we got a lovely pic of his side profile. Just have to come up with a name now.

Thanks Sara
aww camera shy eh?

glad all went well velvet.

cant help you with names, i tend to be one for traditional names, James, Thomas, Matthew, William. In fact baby CRX was going to be William James but it didnt suit her thank god :)
Congratulations, so it is definitely a boy then?

I never had a 20 week scan - they don't do them routinely where I lived when I was pregnant - I got a dating scan and that was that. I am sure it is great getting to see a proper baby if you get what I mean!

Most of the names I like are Scottish, so probably not any use to you ;o)
Hi velvetee!
Glad everything went well at your scan. So your having a boy like me :) well the name ive decided on is keanan wilson, which u prob remember.
Other names i liked were, joshua and dylan but my boyfriend didnt like them.

Thanks everyone. I'm finding it very hard to come up with a boy's name we both like. It seems so difficult, there are hundreds of different girl's names, but seemingly only a handful of boy's ones, which everyone uses.

we were the same velvetee, in the end we have Craig and Ciar. Other names I liked were Kerr, Gregor, Struan, Rowan & Lorne. We also had Alec, Walker, David and Austin on the list at various times.

Some other names in our family for boys are Oscar, Caleb, Aaron, Callum, Evan, Joe & Luis.

Just had a look at the cast list for the nativity play and we have:

Reece
Lewis
Sean
Declan
Rory
Kane
Allan
Aidan
Josh
Dylan
Nathan
Keiran
Logan
Jay
Ryan
Cameron
Liam
Jamie
William
Anthony
Scott
Owen
Larne
James
Andrew
Ethan
Harris

Thanks Annie,

The one name from that list, I have on mine is Kieran, but spelt "Kiran", but my partner doesn't like it. I quite like "Larne", my partner's surname is Scandinavian, so the two names might go quite well together, but I know he wont like it.

How do you pronounce "Ciar"?
Just Like the first bit of Keiran or the drink Kir, Kee-ir - the Gaelic version of Keiran is Ciaran and means the little dark one - the "an" bit means little and as he is not going to be little (like my older son, he is expected to be between 6'3 and 6'5) so we removed the "an".

He was very dark when he was born, but now although he still has quite dark skin (for a Scot!) By the time he was 6 months old, he had blond wavy hair. He has almond shaped eyes that are no colour and every colour if you get me and looks vaguely chinese from a distance - I blame my husbands side - he swears that his maternal great grandmother who was supposably Irish, looks like an old chinese woman in the only photo he has ever seen.
Anyway, total ramble but thats where his name comes from.

Anyway, I also like Findlay or Finn which might be appropriate given the scandinavian link.
Ah glad all is well. Its so nice to see bubs looking like a proper human being!! Boys names I like are
Harrison (Harry)
Theo
Louis
Jackson
And baby lolly was going to be... Dexter, If she was a boy.
Some boys due on AB then. Seems to always be a lot of girls on here.

Hi Velvetee, glad you had a good scan. My little one was shy too - we wanted to find out the sex but she closed her legs and wriggled off so we had to wait. I spent the entire pregnancy assuming it was a boy though and these are the names I shortlisted:
Dylan
Flynn
Finlay
Archie
Alfie
I wanted to call mine Kieran coz i love that name but its my boyfriends brothers name so he didnt want to use it :(
There a few names that I'm dancing around at the moment - it's impossible to choose because I change my mind everyday.
At the moment, I'm quite settled on Isaac or Jonah...although when I tell people, they say it'll get shortened to Joe, which I don't want. Another name I like is Jackson, but again, that will end up being shortened to Jack.
