Cutie McCuteface - he is lovely 🙂

baconandmushrooms · 27/04/2017 14:56

He's adorable.

One heard Asa as short for Isaac.

MyNameIsntTaken · 27/04/2017 14:54

Aww he's too too cute! I vote for calling him Mr cutie wootie. He's gorgeous. Congratulations!

dotdotdotmustdash · 26/04/2017 21:20

Dominic or Rory for me (or Ben, since he looks like my Ds). He's a beautiful boy who will grow up to be a handsome man - he needs a strong name and either of these would suit him. Congratulations.

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 26/04/2017 18:46

He's a lovely little baby who looks like a Dominic.

shakeyospeare · 26/04/2017 18:42

Yeah... But that's only through personal experience. I really dislike Asa also - although it's marginally better than Duane.

Names are almost like a shop window - you land a baby with a crappy name and they're either spelling it out for the rest of their lives or they're pigeonholed.

Hope I've not offended anyone - just experience and opinion :)

BabyInWaiting · 26/04/2017 18:39

Not a fan of Duane or Asa - they both seem a little chavvy (sorry).

Are both names seen like that?

Daniel

No one of his generation will have any negative associations with Duane, and those who do will be dying off.

buttercup54321 · 25/04/2017 22:08

Asa is horrible, Think ASDA

Bedsheets4knickers · 25/04/2017 19:39

Sounds like a gangster

Mrsknackered · 25/04/2017 19:36

My goodness he is amazing, I love Asa it's a great name.
I like Rory too.
Not keen on Henry/Dominic.
I want to like Duane, I just can't!

PrecookedSprout · 25/04/2017 12:34

I agree Greg in that If anyone could turn around the fortunes of them and Duane this boy could!

shakeyospeare · 25/04/2017 12:32

OP, he is absolutely bloody beautiful! Most babies look like potatoes but he's just gorgeous.

Not a fan of Duane or Asa - they both seem a little chavvy (sorry).

Love Rory though - he definitely looks like a Rory!

Spencer is nice as is Dominic but Rory is my favourite.

More pics, please, he's just lovely!

ThisisrealityGreg · 25/04/2017 12:29

*off

ThisisrealityGreg · 25/04/2017 12:28

I'm going to go against the grain and say that i think he could carry of Duane as he's so beautiful.

But Dominic would be better. I think he looks like a Daniel. (Not Danny - just Daniel).

FeralBeryl · 25/04/2017 12:25

Green anyway enough about his name - get us another pic up. We're having withdrawals here Wink

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/04/2017 01:16

I like Rory but he looks like an Arthur to me. Maybe even Art for short one day.

He looks gorgeous and squishy :)

Nickynackynoodle · 25/04/2017 01:03

Asa gets my vote. Beautiful baby.

GreatFuckability · 25/04/2017 00:36

I really love the name Asa.

Adarajames · 25/04/2017 00:32

Duane is great - if you're a stereotyped red neck, trailer dwelling American survivalist type who shoots any government agent on sight! Please don't do it to the poor child!

Only Asa I know is female.

Rory is sweet (even though I know an irritatingly self opinionated one!!) go with Rory Smile

backtowork2015 · 24/04/2017 21:48

Beautiful boy! I like Dominic

Puremince · 24/04/2017 18:35

Georgeous baby!

In order:

  1. Rory
  2. Dominic
  3. Asa
  4. Henry
  5. Spencer
  1. Duane.
hollyisalovelyname · 24/04/2017 18:06

Your baby is gorgeous.
Rory or Dominic for me. Both lovely.

Foldedtshirt · 24/04/2017 15:55
