Last night I dreamt my baby was here and I 'Knew' that his name was meant to be a strong boys name that started with A..
Usually pay no heed to dreams and realise I'm probably clutching at straws, but any suggestions would be appreciated.
He'll be here in 5 weeks, am living, dreaming names!
Thank you

He'll probably come out with the name written all over him.

Andrew means "manly" I think.

I have an Aidan. Suited him as a baby and child, suits him as an (angsting-about-girls) 14 year old. I also know an Aidan in his 40s and have met one in his 60s. It means "fire".

Aaron?

Thanks for the suggestions 😊 I like traditional names I think, something manly tht will suit a man as well as a young boy
