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)

Oh just seen you have a son by that name. In which case, Jonah or Noah

If I had a boy today I would call him Ethan. Not sure why but it popped into my head

Hedgehog1977 · 22/08/2014 11:57

We don't know what we're having yet (due in 5 weeks), but our shortlist for a boy is: Patrick, Clement and Arthur. At the moment we have a vague consensus for Patrick, but it has changed so many times in the last few months it could be completely different tomorrow!
