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)

He would be called Frederick.

I also like Caspar, Felix, Huon and William.

Do come back and tell us what your son ended up as, op!

Arthur.

In an alternative universe where I could get away with it, Ptolemy. I'm not sorry.

RiverTam · 22/08/2014 10:21

Elijah or Ezra

Notso · 22/08/2014 10:20

Jude Matthew
Though DH would never agree to Jude!

HalleLouja · 22/08/2014 10:20

Forgot Alexander.

HalleLouja · 22/08/2014 10:19

Matthew or James.

Today it would be one of:

Edward
Arthur
James

Whichever one of those felt right for him...

TinkerbellTrains · 22/08/2014 10:15

Nico
Micha
Ezra or
Elijah

SugarMiceInTheRain · 22/08/2014 10:13

Ezra would be my top choice of name, followed by Xander (but would give Alexander as full name). If he has a brother called Ethan, I'd go with Xander or Levi. Not really a fan of siblings having names which begin with the same initial Grin

Broderick, nn Brody
Orson nn Awesome!
