Despite a lifetime of name loving, my baby boy and first born is due next month and we are still debating a name.

I thought we were settled on Theodore but husband has now said he’s not sure. Hmm

Names we have discussed:
Jasper
Rowan
Oscar
Eli(jah)
Felix
Rupert
Barnaby

Can anyone throw some suggestions at me? Just seem to flick through the name guides thinking ‘no, no, no’ - nothing seems to fit Confused I would love something that’s cute for a little boy (Or has sweet nicknames) but also suited to a grown man.

My boys a Theodore, my dog is Jasper and I absolutely love Rupert! Other names I considered were Zachary, Stanley and Oliver

I have a friend with a Theodore/Teddy and it's lovely.

I loathe barnaby, not sure why it's just awful.

Gabriel was high on our boys list, along with Eric and Stellan.

Before we knew the sex of our baby we wanted to use Tobias if it was a boy, Toby for short. We had a baby girl and eventually found a name we both loved. She's now nearly 16 mths and we feel we made the right choice

I really like nearly all your boy names, not too keen on Barnaby though
