Imagine you're having a baby boy TODAY. What do you call him?

(And yes, I am, and no, I have no idea. We keep changing our minds)

Just seen he has arrived - congratulations!

Adam and Gareth always seem like very steady/calm names to me.

Congratulations Grin

Ooh I like Flynn too

nutribullet · 23/08/2014 16:33

Congratulations! And welcome to your lovely calm boy.

I love short names for boys like Kit, Ted and Ned.

Having said that, I really wanted to call one of my boys Jonty but DH vetoed that!

Enjoy him. Xx

Very excited to read that baby Truth has arrived. Congratulations!

If you don't go with ds1's suggestion Wink, I'd say Theo, Joseph (the biblical Joseph must gave been a calm sort to have gone ahead with the wedding to Mary under those circs!) or my personal fave Lucas.

Bowlersarm · 23/08/2014 16:26

Rufus or Kit

rachel234 · 23/08/2014 16:23

Congrats! How about
Dominic
Quentin
Lawrence

MummyBeerest · 23/08/2014 16:13

Congratulations!

I think Oliver would be a lovely name for a calm baby boy, because it means olive branch, a symbol of peace.

But Theo, omg, that'd be adorable.

Enjoy Flowers

Theodore, Oscar or Louis.

Frikadellen · 23/08/2014 15:13

Otis.. But OMG Cecil and Walter are great names.. Bertram a possibility too

Mutteroo · 23/08/2014 09:22

Congratulations OP!

I knew a very calm Daniel but his parents were both very calm & so genes played their part more than the name.

I would probably call my surprise baby boy either:
Theodore
Monty
Eli/Elijah

CheerfulYank · 23/08/2014 08:04

Andrew, because that's DH's name and he is incredibly calm

Hakluyt · 23/08/2014 08:01

Patrick.
