What would you call Baby Boy Mills?

We have no idea of what to call this small chap when he arrives (fingers crossed) next week! Our surname is Mills. Which means the likes of William, Finley etc are out, due to all the I's and L's.

We'd like a name that isn't too popular and goes with Elizabeth (9) Honor (6).
Middle name will be Hugh.

5 years (IVF) to get here and a lot of heartbreak and upset. So we haven't wanted to jinx it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ben.

Sorry just saw your name was Ben - though you could name him after yourself!

How about Xavier, Isaac, Rupert, Lucas, Zachary, Jeremiah?

Alexander is lovely! And goes nicely with your girls names. Congratulations!
I'll have a think.....

Finley Hugh Mills works really really well. I'd call off the search there to be honest.

Thank you for your comments and wishes. The girls are very excited.

I should of said, I'm one of four boys, hence why it's so tough..2 of my brothers names have been mentioned and the boy!!!

I do like Alexander - maybe Xander or Zander for a nn.

Hugh is my BIL, DW feels Honor and Hugh would be too much.

Hmm that is a tough one! I think with such a short middle name and surname a longer first name would be best. So something like Alexander, Christopher or Barnaby?

Congratulations as well!

Scrub the Maximillian - I must have had your surname on the brain! Perhaps Maxim?

Hugh (or Hugo) - lovely name - would you consider it as the first name?

Hope all goes well!

How about Maximillian, Frederick, Edmond, Rupert, Benedict, Dominic?
