He's 3 days old Smile it's really sad to just keep calling him 'baby boy'!

  • Aleksander (with the nickname Aleks or Olek - which do you prefer?)
  • Aron
  • Artur
  • Benedykt
  • Bruno
  • Emil
  • Iwan
  • Izaak
  • Jakub (with the nickname Kuba)
  • Olaf (not good in the UK?)
  • Oskar
  • Teodor

Middle name = Gabriel Smile thank you very much.

I love Bruno (also the easiest for English people to spell if that's a consideration!)

AgentOprah · 17/04/2017 17:12

Aleksander, Bruno and Oskar are my favourites.

I think it depends how much you would be bothered with people spelling them differently ? (I'm presuming from your Olaf comment you are Polish, but living in the UK?)

So, Aleksander is lovely, but it will be spelled Alexander (Alex) by almost everyone when they first go to write it, and then the same applies for a lot of the others too - you'd get

Aaron
Arthur
Benedict
Ivan
Isaac
Jacob
Oscar
Theodore

Now - if that is fine with you, then I like lots of them, but if you want to avoid that, then one of the others would make more sense, probably. Smile

Bruno is a really great name, also like Benedykt and Jakub. And Emil, in fact! I guess it depends how anglicised you want it to feel?

Another vote for Gabriel

JaeDon · 17/04/2017 17:08

They're all lovely - but I particularly like Bruno, Artur and Kuba (Jakub). I'd probably avoid Olaf although it is a really nice name.

DaisyChainsForever · 17/04/2017 17:07

My vote is for Jakub

Abetes · 17/04/2017 17:05

I like Gabriel best too!!!

DartmoorDoughnut · 17/04/2017 17:02

I love Gabriel so much I can't choose one of the others, sorry!

sticklebrix · 17/04/2017 17:01

Bruno. But all of them are lovely.

I might be tempted to avoid Olaf for now because of Frozen.

Congratulations!

YoungYolandaYorgensen39 · 17/04/2017 16:57

Any of them work for me. Good list.

I really like Kuba.

Or Bruno or Benedykt.

Congrats x

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 17/04/2017 16:46

Benedykt Gabriel.
Would you not consider Gabriel as a first name

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 17/04/2017 16:33

Aleksander with Olek as nn.

Congratulations!
