Baby boy number 3 sibling to August and Franklin. We were all set on a name then DH throws a spanner in the works

Top picks:
Henry Rafe
Peter Cillian

The other option for a middle name is too outing if I post it but we both love it and it goes with both names (Henry and Peter)

Very open to new ideas

I love Caspar, Raphael etc but DH isn't so keen...

A beautiful Rupert. Congrats.

How are you doing Op?

dahliaaa · 13/05/2017 23:40

He is beautiful :-)

Ruari ?
(I do think he suits Rufus too. Ru/Roo is a lovely nn)

LoveDeathPrizes · 13/05/2017 23:28

He's beautiful OP. He's a Rupert.

And oh god! The first toast-post labour is just amazing isn't it?!

Oulavache · 13/05/2017 23:20

Oops, first suggestion should have been Rufus!

Oulavache · 13/05/2017 23:19

He is precious! Rubus? Ruben? Rex? Rowan? He'll tell you himself in the morning!

MarcelineQueen · 13/05/2017 23:17

Congratulations!!

Another vote for Ruben here. Ruben Peter works very well I think.

Enjoy Grin

EweAreHere · 13/05/2017 23:13

Reuben?

Floellabella · 13/05/2017 22:51

Roman Peter or Rafe Peter would be lovely! (Think Henry Rafe has too many Rs). Love a family middle name. Congrats Flowers

Congratulations! He's beautiful,looks so lovely and squishy Grin He actually doesn't look like a Fredrick. He looks like a Rafe or Henry, both lovely names btw Smile

CricketRuntAndRashers · 13/05/2017 21:12

He's gorgeous! Flowers

Looks like a Rupert or Ronald imo! :)

ojalele · 13/05/2017 21:09

Congratulations!!! He looks like a Rupert to me :)

MerryMarigold · 13/05/2017 21:06

Oooh he's lovely. Sorry I missed the pic. Hmmm...R names. Roy, Reginald, Ronald, Ronan, Roni? Maybe not. Horace popped into my head for some reason.

I think henry is boring compared to august and franklin. Peter is more unusual these days but still a bit plain. I wouldn't want to be third after the other two, like you ran out of more interesting names. How about cillian as first name ? Julius?

Rockaby · 13/05/2017 20:57

He's beautiful! Huge congratulations Flowers.

CruCru · 13/05/2017 20:56

Oh wow, well done!

HmmOkay · 13/05/2017 20:51

He is utterly lovely.

Whoops speech marks should end at 'epidural' toast is fab by the way.

Blurry picture I don't want to wake him. I went from 2cm to him being born in an hour. I also screamed "this is so unfair I wanted an epidural as he was coming out" I think he looks like a short necked rugby player. My smallest yet at 8lb

Will update when we fill the birth certificate I am leaning towards an R name.. Rafe, Rupert, Rufus
