Ashur is a lovely name.

thebakerwithboobs · 23/04/2017 19:38

Don't call him anything, just give him to me. My womb just skipped a beat!

(1: Rory 2: Asa (prefer Asher) 3: Please not Duane)

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 23/04/2017 19:31

Asa is such a fabulous name!

RumbleRoar · 23/04/2017 19:00

Your DS is beautiful, congratulations.
Asa is great. Ds friend is Asa, nn Ace.
Definitely the winner for me.

harderandharder2breathe · 23/04/2017 18:54

No no no to Duane

Asa is nicer

AntigoneJones · 23/04/2017 18:50

I think Duane is a lovely name and sadly under-used.

TheElephantofSurprise · 23/04/2017 18:47

He really is beautiful.

FrenchLavender · 23/04/2017 15:38

I can't stop looking at the photo of him. He's just beautiful. Not many newborns look that perfect, it takes them a few weeks to start looking like anything other than Yoda/Gollum/Winston Churchill. He is the Adonis of newborn babies. Seriously. Can I have him? Please? Grin

He's definitely a Rory. That's settled then.

Whatslovegottodo · 23/04/2017 15:05

Beautiful baby OP.
Love Rory and Spencer is OK too.
Asher is a good alternative to Asa? I like Kieran or Ciaran as well - is a name for a dark haired baby.

FeedTheSharkAndItWIllBite · 23/04/2017 14:58

Asa?

Duane looks like Douane to me personally... I also like Spencer.

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 23/04/2017 13:42

Failing to see how my remark was ignorant. Soz. As an Irish person I wouldn't name a child Ira because to me it is too closely similar to the IRA. Purely my opinion only. I am fully aware that it is pronounced differently and wouldn't be written in capitals despite snidey comments from you and name-calling by another poster But we'll not derail the OP's thread any further and we'll leave it there.

I think best to spell it Asa not like the brand of laptop though...

blue2014 · 23/04/2017 11:45

Ooh I like Acer Smile

TakeASipOfDancingJuice · 23/04/2017 11:13

Rory always makes me add on 'the racing car' in my head.
Asa!

Lemondrop09 · 23/04/2017 11:13

Dwayne is our joke name! Sorry, I think it's awful.

Asa however I think is brilliant and it's on our list. Nn Ace Grin

AliceKlar · 23/04/2017 11:07

Oh I see Rory is now in the frame. YY it's a fab name and it so suits him. Spencer I'm not so keen on as my first thought is Frank Spencer off Some Mothers Do Ave Em. But no one these days under 40 will know that character I don't expect. Rory. Rory. Rory. :)

MiniMaxi · 23/04/2017 09:30

OP, he's a stunner!

My faves are Asa / Acer, or Rory from your suggestions - but if you like Duane then please call him Duane!

It's up to you, not MN!

NoYouDontKnowItAll · 23/04/2017 09:12

So, with only one exception, Dwayne / Duane is a nonstarter!

Since when do you or anyone else get to decide what name someone can or can't use

Yeh I'm probably the only one on the thread who liked it but the OP was obviously considering it to have asked in the first place. I don't think my opinion matters one bit but then I couldn't care less

PunkAssMoFo · 23/04/2017 07:24

He's gorgeous!
He could definitely be Asa or Spencer.
I thought Rory meant 'red haired king' so for that reason I wouldn't use Rory. Plus it's a little popular.

diodati · 23/04/2017 06:47

So, with only one exception, Dwayne / Duane is a nonstarter! Please don't call that beautiful child Dwayne. Please.

DaisyFranceLynch · 23/04/2017 06:12

Love Rory. Asa and Spencer both fine, but Rory is definitely my favourite. He is gorgeous and looks like a little Rory too.
