hard time picking a name

We recently found out we are having a boy.  We had no problem agreeing on a girls name but cant agree on a boys name.  Now that we know its a boy we really need to decide on a name.  My first little boy is Nicholas James (dads name is Nicholas) dads middle name is Andrew so he wants to incorporate it this time.  We were thinking Nathan Andrew but for some reason it doesn't feel right to me.  I don't know why I don't hate it I just don't feel like its the name.  Sorry for the long post any suggestions?

The ONLY boy name my husband and I could agree on was Colin. We decided on Colin Jaxon, or CJ for a nickname, for our son due Sept :)

We were naming our son Logan Andrew James but I had a sentimental moment last week and we changed it to Randall (another Uncle of mine).

Dad really wants Andrew and I don't like it for a first name so I think we are set with that being his middle name.

Apparently Nathan is popular with the men this year lol.  I keep looking at names and trying to at least get options so if I can't decide maybe when I see him one of them will just fit.

My boys are Joseph lee, Nathan Adam and this one will be Raymond dale( lil ray) :) I'm sure what ever you pick will be great. And remember you don't always have to have a middle name

I'm having the same issue too, we had a girls name picked from the get go and then we found out it was a boy and we've literally run out of names and can't decide. We were thinking about Nathan Alexander, but I just can't see myself hollering out Nathan and talking to my child. All the names I like, hubby finds a reason not too, and vice versa when it comes to names he likes!

We're in exactly the same boat. My other half loves Nathan but its just not sitting right with me. Girls names no problem but with boys I just can't get it right in my head! I quite like Issac because I like zac for short but really no clue and 53  days to go!!! Good luck x
