Baby is 4 days old- still no name! This is getting ridiculous

Baby boy came along 4 days ago and we still don't have a name!
It's not like we didn't know we were having a boy either! There are a few I like, but none that I love!
Did anyone else have this? How long can I call him Baby!
I like 'normal' names, but not over popular. Any suggestions gratefully received

Oh and I love no boys names so ds has a name that dh loves and I don't dislike. I honestly was so indifferent about boys names.

Normal and confuddled, thank you for saying this. It's reassuring.
I named my first son before I had even conceived but don't even know where to begin now. The daily texts and messages from friends and family are not overly helping either!

Firstly, congratulations!
Secondly, I wouldn't worry about not naming your Son yet. Enjoy getting to know him. I've had four children and named three of them quite quickly, but one we didn't name for about a week because we weren't sure if it suited her.

There's a reason you get 6 weeks to register a name!
And speaking as someone who was still having discussions with dh about ds2's name, in front of the registrar, as we were registering his birth 5 weeks and 6 days after his birth, I don't think I'm too biased Grin

The registrar did say we could come back for another appointment if we wanted but we had to say that as the office was closed the next day, it did have to be then!

We ended up with Toby - that I love as a name. And Edward as a middle name - several years on and I'm still none the wiser how we ended up with it, I thought it had been discarded from an earlier list long before!
