Poor little no-onename baby boy...:(

DS was born 3 days ago and still does not have a name!
we have a Margaret (Maggie) Roisin, surname two syllables starting with S.
I like Nathaniel, nn nate, but not entirely surE as were pretty down to earth and I think it might be a bit American sounding for us.
Dh likes Daniel, I don't mind it but there's just so many of them! I'm a teacher in a boys only school and am finding this so hard.
Dh has no sense of urgency about the whole thing, probably because he doesn't have his bloody mother calling every day to ask if we have a name yet!

He's Irish so hence Roisin for our daughter, will probably go for an Irish middle name, Oisin is my choice.

He doesn't like anything else, I like
Jude
Evan
Euan
Patrick
Niall

But the end sound of our surname is an n so some of those sound odd.

Any suggestions? I think we're going to need something totally different as he isn't nudging and Daniel just doesn't seem right.

A pic is added if that helps! I have tried to remind him that ds was nearly 9lbs and I only had paracetamol, plus I now have a tear and raging piles...apparently this gives me no leverage.

I just looked at the photo of your gorgeous DS before reading your post two names popped into my head and they were James and Daniel.

Congratulations. He is precious.

Daniel is down to No. 24 in 2014.

I don't like Niall, I do like Neil.
