Name for a boy?

I've name changed to hide my ideas! A few people know I'm on mn.

Dh has wondered if Tobias Inigo is too 'posh.' Or flamboyant. Mostly would be Toby though.

Our last name is very plain, one syllable (not that common though)

I want Inigo as the first name so this is my compromise.

Other option is Edward Inigo but our ds1 has an increasingly rather common 'royal name' already. But I do like Teddy.

Thomas has been thought of but we know many Toms and Thomases

Sebastian is another option.

(I've wondered about waiting to see what hair colour is as Edward to me is blonde and Tobias is Brown hair!)

I like Tobias, Edward or Sebastian Inigo. I think they all work so it’s down to preference.

I have a really cool friend called Inigo.

Have you considered Edmund Nostradamus of Edward?

Love Tobias. Never heard of Inigo.

Toby is great. I'd just use Toby Inigo but Tobias is fine.

Belindabauer · 25/03/2018 10:29

I would h with either Edward or Tobias.
I dont like Sebastian and never have I'm sorry but I always hear the word bastard. It was something someone said when I was a child it's stuck with me.
I think Tobias is much better than Toby.

I like Tobias Inigo! Sebastian and Edward are lovely too. I think having those as your shortlist and seeing what baby looks like is a good plan.

I'd love inigo as a first name but Dh is firmly vetoing it!

I know Tobias and Inigo are both strong, but being known as Toby and with a short plain surname it calms it down a bit for day to day life (in my mind!)

Don't get too fixed on the blonde hair/brown hair idea.

No, it's a bit random in our family, though if he's very dark like me I doubt he'll change. Dhs family start out with white hair then can go in any direction, including darker than I am now! Ds1 was rocking the subversive mild ginger gene at birth but is more blonde now.

Tobias inigo is a great name, much better than Edward.

marmitecrumpets · 25/03/2018 08:55

Yes go for Tobias Inigo. I miss prefer that over Edward

MadMaryBoddington · 25/03/2018 08:48

Bloody love Inigo. Fabulous name.

DarkRoomDarren · 25/03/2018 07:31

I know a baby like that @iwould. A total shock if black hair when he was born, which then went really blonde within a few months. He’s actually called Edward too!

IWouldLikeToKnow · 25/03/2018 07:22

Don't get too fixed on the blonde hair/brown hair idea. My little man was born with very dark hair, but then lost most of it and it grew back completely blonde!!

DarkRoomDarren · 25/03/2018 07:07

I’ve heard of the princess bride but never read it. Is there a Tobias Inigo in it?

BackforGood · 24/03/2018 22:59

er... no, I'm not.

buttercup54321 · 24/03/2018 22:32

inigo is awful imo. Heard Tobiah recently,

HeartySoup · 24/03/2018 22:31

Inigo is awful.

Tobias is nice but definitely not Toby.

C0untDucku1a · 24/03/2018 22:28

I know youre lying backforgood.

BackforGood · 24/03/2018 22:24

Erm, everyone has heard of the princess bride. Surely?!

Nope

littlepill · 24/03/2018 22:04

Tobias OR Inigo. Not both, as they are 2 strong names

Pebbleinthesand · 24/03/2018 22:00

Love the names although I have to admit I was pronouncing Inigo wrong in my head until you mentioned Princess Bride and I clicked. Now I have a really strong urge to watch it: anyone know if it's on Netflix or anything at the moment? Grin

C0untDucku1a · 24/03/2018 21:43

Erm, everyone has heard of the princess bride. Surely?!

Love it though

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 24/03/2018 21:37

Tobias Inigo is very nice.
