I've finally let go of BeauDH would never accept it as a first name.
DH has stopped mentioning his random names too!!

Names we both agree on but can't decide which is the best:

Bay Alexander

Rocco Alexander Beau

Bambino is now 10 days old.Getting him registered soon.His big brother is called Ellis.

Also thanks to everyone whos commented on my last thread(a week ago-about dh not agreeing with my choice of name).
Extremely helpful.

Alex and Ellis sound too much of a mouthful.

Wish I liked more normal names.Really hard.
When you go for 'out there' names you risk that the child will be picked on and people laugh behind your backs.

The only 'normal' name I like is Luke.DH thinks it's dull....

bay alexander is lovely.

BessieBoots · 14/07/2010 15:14

Bay. It's cool. Rocco is like a name Denise Royle would give her baby.

Hulababy · 14/07/2010 15:11

Of the four names I prefer Alexander.

I don't like Rocco, sorry, and I am not keen in Beau or Bay that much.

However of the two options given I think Bay is nicer than Rocco.

ReasonableDoubt · 14/07/2010 15:06

Bay is...unusual. Better than Rocco or Beau, though.

Alexander is lovely.

ShowOfHands · 14/07/2010 15:02

Beau is lovely.

Rocco or Bay?

Madonna or Kirstie?

It's a toughie.

Who do you most aspire to be like?

yama · 14/07/2010 15:01

Bay Alexander gets my vote.

MmeLindt · 14/07/2010 15:01

I thought this might be you.

I am glad that you dropped Beau, it was never going to work when your DH was so against it.

Tbh, I am not that keen on Bay or Rocco, but think that of the two Bay is better.

Hedwig3 · 14/07/2010 15:00

Bay Alexander (Beau)

Well done for kind of starting again.

BunnyLebowski · 14/07/2010 15:00

Agree with swanandduck.

Really dislike Bay, Rocco and Beau.

Alexander is a fantastic name.

wahwahwah · 14/07/2010 15:00

How did you choose Bay? I habe never heard of it as a name. I like Alexander a lot though.

diggingintheribs · 14/07/2010 14:59

Glad you dropped Beau!!

I like both but for some reason I like Bay - it seems to go against all my instincts but I think Bay Alexander is really nice!!

swanandduck · 14/07/2010 14:59

I like Alexander. To be honest I don't really like your other names. Sorry.
