Original poster

A brother for Artemisia

Originally it was going to be Lucian...yep we are those parents. But we got cold feet and decided it was too wanky even for us. (I love Lucian to any Lucian owners, but we thought in combination with Artemisia, it was a bit...hmm)

So then, after much discussion, the only name we could agree on, was Milo. But we have now come across, not one, not two, but THREE dogs called Milo. Apparently it is in the top ten dog names in the UK. This has... put us off. And we don't like Miles.

Names I like, which DH has roundly rejected:

Tobias
Marcus
Sebastian
Casper
Silas
Felix

Anyone got any good suggestions, before we name our son this generation's equivalent of Rex?

I am 39+6 and getting a bit worried that we seem to have NO candidates. DH has been totally unable to come up with any suggestions.

Ooh! This was the best post. I opened it and was instantly excited because you like my kind of names. I opened all pages and was scrolling through as you were getting more and more over due and I was desperate to share all my favourite names with you but... I'm just too late. As it happens I am quite fond of Benedict (and I love his frugi ducky suit) Big congrats! xx

HopefulAnxiety · 30/10/2015 01:25

Congrats! I have a friend called Benedict and it suits him. His sister is called Carmel (as you may be able to guess, they are from a Catholic family) if you decide to do this again

Hope baby Benedict and you all are doing well :)

I saw this today and thought it should be top of his Christmas list:

Beautiful baby and name.

Chillywhippet · 03/10/2015 19:21

Many congrats edie. What a beautiful boy.

Thank you for the thread. I loved how unapologetically MN it was. It made me feel broody just so I could use one of the names but I'm too old and already have a houseful.

Enjoy

I so wanted a Benedict. Congrats to all four. Just wow.

GrouchyKiwi · 02/10/2015 16:41

He's lovely.

Teacakequeen · 02/10/2015 16:00

He suits his name already. He's gorgeous

myotherusernameisbetter · 02/10/2015 15:59

Ha ha - I would say though that he definitely doesn't look like a Barry :o

Branleuse · 02/10/2015 15:54

oh my word, he is scrumptious. I do

ChipsandGuac · 02/10/2015 15:48

Oh! This is my all time favourite baby name thread ever! A beautiful massive baby and a brilliant name. I have a 14 year old Benedict so may be a little biased though.

myotherusernameisbetter · 02/10/2015 15:48

Oh, he is truly beautiful! Welcome to the world sweet baby Benedict.

LaContessaDiPlump · 02/10/2015 15:39

I like your names very much however I just want to check - what letter does your surname begin with? Is there any potential for him to be BLAB, BLAG or BLAH?

An acronym of BLAZ would be awesome but statistically unlikely....
