Quite happy to be out there, like nature names (herbs, tree, animals), classical names, place names - any suggestions gratefully received!! TIA!

I have an Archie and he's the only one in his year group. I work at the school and in the whole school there are 3 at most. I think Alfie is used more (we had Alfie first) but glad we went with Archie

Congratulations- lovely news

Calloway · 29/03/2019 11:27

Congratulations to you and welcome, Archie! I was going to say there's no rush and it's fine if he's nameless for a few days, but it seems like you've settled on the right one. Glad you had such a positive birth experience Flowers

SheepAnarchy · 29/03/2019 03:23

Thanks very much all ☺️ Archie it is, born just after 10am in the pleasantest most peaceful operation ever and very besotting for his mum and dad!

@NancyFrank ofc; Tabitha, Clara, Pippin, Margaux and Clover. I loved them all and hope for a girl next time (but not for a wee while!).

Love all of your names would love to hear your girls list?

littlemoon86 · 28/03/2019 17:21

Hugh

Shadow1234 · 28/03/2019 17:16

Archie or Hunter
What about Oakley?

Floralnomad · 28/03/2019 10:02

Sorry meant to add best wishes for today .

Floralnomad · 28/03/2019 10:01

Hugh or Arno , Archie is very popular and the others are awful .

Barbarafromblackpool · 28/03/2019 10:01

Falcon.

MigThePig · 28/03/2019 09:57

We thought of Titus but it has terrible bullying potential, imagine being called Tits or Titty in the playground Shock

soontobefour4 · 28/03/2019 09:47

Hugh, I have one so obviously I love it! I get lots of nice comments on it and am yet to meet another baby/child Hugh.

whitesoxx · 28/03/2019 09:42

Hugh

Dizzywizz · 28/03/2019 09:36

I like wolf and Arno. Not Titus - think of the nickname!! What about Jago? Best of luck with your new baby!

PineapplePatty · 28/03/2019 09:34

Torin

MercyBodle · 28/03/2019 09:29

I like Hugh from your list.

tomhazard · 28/03/2019 09:20

Love Hugh! Not convinced on the rest. Best of luck today

WarmCoffee · 28/03/2019 08:25

Please pick Hugh. I know a gorgeous little Hugh. The rest are really awful names to be lumbered with (bar Archie). I’m suprised no one else has replied and said this.

Hugh is rare but also lovely.

IchibanLipstickForMen · 28/03/2019 08:19

Also wishing you the best for today OP! ❤️

IchibanLipstickForMen · 28/03/2019 08:18

Prefer Tidus to Titus. Also maybe Koa?

windygallows · 28/03/2019 08:18

Merlin is great esp if you have a magical birth. Go for it!

Chilledout11 · 28/03/2019 07:56

Hugh is great good luck
