Lovely baby boy Is now here! The trouble is I seem to find myself disliking all the names we had on the shortlist now....

I love the name Rowan but we already have a Rose- is this too similar? If it is too similar what on earth else do we call him?!

Thanks all! Helped me feel more positive about this naming business. Bit worried about popularity of Joseph, although I know it shouldn't matter....

Going to try some out on him over next few days to see which one sticks!

Congratulations! He's gorgeous. Of the names you suggested, I think he would really suit Keir or Joseph.

MummaTwinkleToes · 29/10/2017 20:11

Aaah congratulations gorgeous boy. I immediately thought of the name Seth, then saw a pp had suggested it. Also Jacob. Smile

SilverySurfer · 29/10/2017 20:11

He's scrumptious - how about Marcus?

What a gorgeous boy! Makes me incredibly broody!! I think he looks like a Joseph.
Congratulations!

My fave boys name is Seth but I also think he looks like he might suit Gus.

I like Rowan and I think it would suit him. It goes fine with Rose.

I like Rowan and Rose.

What about Jed or Ned?

I don’t like Jonah as a Jonah is a jinx around here.

I think Keir really suits him, also sounds lovely with Rose.

Chaffinch4 · 29/10/2017 18:28

Fraser is a great name and no, I don't think you need to have Scottish links at all.

MyBrilliantDisguise · 29/10/2017 18:14
