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)

Ah congrats! A know a baby Gabriel, born Thursday. He's calm....but then they're all calm at this stage!

Congratulations!
I had a very calm baby boy. My 9 months he was into everything, not sleeping 'enough' and has continued to be a noisy and very active child! He didn't have a name for a few weeks - we tried out 2 different names.

Milo, Robin, Gabriel

Thank you all. Little baby No Name arrived yesterday afternoon. He's a beauty. He's also (so far!) incredibly calm. What would you consider 'calm' names? (I'm not kidding myself that he'll stay this way or that the name will affect his temperament, but it seems worth a shot!)

I think I'd choose Finn. I'd love to go for Jude, but DH wouldn't agree.

It would have to go with my three older boys' names, two of which have been mentioned more than once on this thread Smile.
