Where do I even start looking?

I'm expecting my third baby and third boy. I love my boys but I HATE picking boy names. Girl names are easy, we had a girl name picked out in 1 conversation, but boys are rough. I just don't like anything, my partner and I are both super picky about them and have trouble finding any either of us likes individually, and on top of that we have completely different styles and it's all around miserable and stressful to try to find one we agree on. With our second we didn't have a single possible name option until 2 days before he was born. Now that we're on boy #3 I don't even know how to start finding name ideas. I feel like we ruled out every single boy name that exists between our other 2 boys and everywhere I look is just names I don't like or I know my partner doesn't like. I swear I've been through thousands of names already and haven't found a single one that hasn't been passed up by us before. Help?

would you share a few names you like ? maybe i can shoot some ideas if i get a look at what you like ?

@Cay The girl name we had picked was Ivy. I liked Quinn for my other boys but my partner hated it and still hates it so it's out. Other than that I really don't have anything I like. I tend to like names that are less common but not too out there, my partner tends to like either very very traditional or really weird out there unique names and not so much stuff in the middle like I do.

those are both beautiful names ! i have a few wrote down i’d love to share with you ! ( im also having a boy but i have already picked out his name well im down to two ) nehemiah or zymire are what im obsessing over right now lol ! what about -elias -ezra -asher -atlas -arlo -rowan -amir i’ve always thought these were pretty names ! i hope i could be even a little bit of help ! i hope you guys find something you’ll love ! definitely let me know if i can help anymore sorry if it wasn’t any at all either !!! 🤍

i know how difficult it is to pick out names this is my first child and i’ve always loved those names i picked so it wasn’t super hard but i know after doing it with your first ones it might be a little hard to come up with new more unique names or things if that sort ! best of luck girly !

Dennis and Martin were ones we liked.

I love picking out girl names. Boy names... I don't care for it. With my 1st boy I said "you pick" and went along with it. With my 2nd boy, I sent the top 5 boy names I liked the most. He picked his favorite 2. Then we decided on which 1 of those 2. I gave the boys middle names from men in my family. That was pretty much my requirement. I said "pick whatever you want but the middle name's Allan" done. If they were girl names, we would've been fighting!!! Lol. I got to name my daughter whatever I wanted. I know. Some men aren't so lenient.

I have the opposite problem, I like too many names, maybe make another post with your two boys names and people can suggest good matches. I also used a site recently called magic baby names that suggests lists of names similar to ones you like or your existing kids names, it had some uncommon suggestions
