We really should name this child we created but we just can't seem to find the name that fits. Current favourites are:

Oscar
Dylan
Joseph

But can't commit. Any favourites or suggestions? We still look at new names most days.

At least the registry offices are closed anyway so no rush.

Joseph is lovely, as are the pet names Joe and Joey
Oscar is a great strong name, with a bit of personality and mischief to it.
Dylan, mixed feelings about it, used to really like it but overused possibly and not in a good way, in my town anyway.

Oscar❌ too common, know too many dogs with that name
Dylan✔️ love
Joseph❔neutral, maybe Dylan Joseph?

Tillygetsit · 26/06/2020 22:42

I have a Joseph so I'm biased. Best boy's name ever!

Photo? So we can see if he “looks like” a certain name.

JollyGiraffe12 · 26/06/2020 21:02

I like Joseph best

I also like PP suggestions - Alexander, Lucas, Eliot, Louis

How about Nicholas? Or Christopher?

Joseph

Ellmau · 26/06/2020 18:12

I like Oscar the best of your list

Alexander?

Alwaysundecided · 26/06/2020 17:20

Joseph is my favourite from those names. Little Joey.

autumnkate · 26/06/2020 14:17

Joseph is beautiful

Spidey66 · 26/06/2020 13:27

I like Dylan and Joseph best from your options. Joseph possibly has the edge because I think is less likely to date. I don't have strong feelings either way on Oscar. Don't love it but don't hate it either.

JordanWIlson · 26/06/2020 13:15

I think Oscar is best!! Lovely name x

Quizeerascal · 26/06/2020 13:12

All nice names though my fave by far is Joseph. Other ideas could be,

Otto
Felix
Frederick
Jacob
Joel
Benjamin
Reuben
Isaac
Patrick

Owen Owain

Prettybluepigeons · 26/06/2020 12:22

Show us a picture of him so we can see what name he looks like.

IagoWithABlackberry · 26/06/2020 12:14

Joseph's nice. Dylan's alright as well.

Owen
Luke
Patrick
William
Thomas

ChavvySexPond · 26/06/2020 12:09

Gregory isn't so prevalent as Oscar.

Flappingflamingo · 26/06/2020 11:30

Samuel
Joel
Isaac
Elliott
Jacob
Jake
Joshua
Edward

DanniArthur · 26/06/2020 11:16

Out of your list Joseph is also my favourite. Joey is such a cute nickname on a baby/ child!
Some of my others with a similar feel that you may like:
Nathaniel /Nathan
Daniel
Benjamin
Adam
Vincent
Declan
Nicholas

whywhywhy6 · 26/06/2020 10:45

I like Jagger and Dexter.

redwoodmazza · 26/06/2020 10:42

I like all three of your possibles, OP.

Some of the other suggestions are a bit dodgy!!! Smile
