DS was born a bit early yesterday after a v.fast labour which has left me a bit shell shocked. We knew we were a bit stuck for names but assumed inspiration would strike when he was born.....sadly not!

I really love Kit, but a) Dh is not convinced, and b) it's recent celebrity use puts me off.....

Names we like but maybe not enough include Edward, Jack, Luke, Eric, and Tom.

Been doing some 2am googled (so my judgement might be a bit off) and have seen Wolf, Heath, Ash, Robin (but dislike Rob as a nn).

Help. As you can see the names are all a bit random. He'll be Baby for a while at this rate :-(

I absolutely love the name Heath. It would have been on my list if it wasn't for the fact our last name is one syllable and begins with H. So my vote is definitely for Heath Smile congratulations Flowers

Do you like Ryan? I love that name!

Keep searching, one will feel right. Congratulations x

Googling I mean! I think the dilemma is I like a few traditional names but am not sure they're interesting enough, and then again I like the unusual names on the list but worry they're a bit too brave. Kit seemed like middle ground Confused
