I am 33 weeks pregnant and have just found out that i am going to have a boy which i am delighted about as i have 2 girls already (Rebecca and Emma.

Picking a boys name is much harder than i thought, we can't agree on one single name.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Must go with the surname Bonner.

Please please help..........

Love the names of your daughters (my name is Rebecca too)

I think something traditional like Joseph or Samuel would go with your girls names.

Stephen Bonner
Joshua Bonner
Jonathan Bonner

Are those the kind of names you are looking for?

I agree that a traditional name similar in style to your dd's names would be a perfect match. ;) Oddly enough, the popularity of both Emma and Rebecca was nearly identical in the 1880's as it is today, so you could probably find some great options on the SSA's 1880 decade list. Here's the link http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/decades/names1880s.html

With Rebecca and Emma, maybe something like:

William -- has the bonus of a double letter just like your dd's names ;)
Charles -- the nn Charlie is adorable
Samuel
Andrew
Oscar
Oliver
Jacob
Harvey
Isaac
August(us)
Warren
Everett -- I'd personally avoid another R or E, but not everyone cares about that so I still like this for you
Perry
Calvin -- Cal is also a nice nn
Harrison
Wesley
Nathan(iel)
Adam
Wallace
Stanley
Ross
Willard
Silas
Owen
Timothy
Asa
Wade
Joel
Solomon
Grant
Elias
Roland
Luke
Conrad
Ambrose
Spencer

These are just from the top 300, but you can browse the entire list using the link above. Of course, some of these are currently popular (or about to be), but I included them anyway since Emma is as well.

HTH, and congratulations on your little boy! ;)
