Our baby is born and we don't have a name

Hello. Our son was born 3 days ago and we have no name because they told us he was a girl. Our current options are Braven, Soren and Reagan. Which of these names do you prefer and do you have any middle name ideas? Thank you.

what about Rowan? Aaron?

WitchesBritchesPumpkinPants · 06/11/2020 18:16

As per your thread the other day... Braven is a firm NO

Soren -soreen malt loaf
Reagan - Ronald

I know it's a shock getting a boy, when you were expecting a girl, but there really are lots of nice boys names!

There's no huge hurry either, take your time (& let the hormones settle).

Isn't Reagan a girls' name? It makes me think of the horrid Regan in King Lear

wildthingsinthenight · 06/11/2020 18:13

Soren!

mamah2019 · 06/11/2020 18:12

I love all 3 options but Soren is number 1 for me out of your options. Beautiful Name!

SingleHandSue · 06/11/2020 18:09

Congratulations!

Soren and Reagan/Regan are lovely but for a girl. I know a male Regan and he loathes his name because everyone makes fun of it being girly.

Braven is a bit odd so think I’d have to discount it.

Soren. Too close to Soreen ( malt loaf, yummy! )

Reagan is awful
And Braven is...well, no. He'd get teased

Keep thinking.

steppemum · 06/11/2020 18:03

Umm, if i heard Soren, I woudl think it was a girl.

Braven - odd name
Reagan - definitely Ronald Reagan.

Sorry, you asked, I don't like any

cretelover · 06/11/2020 18:02

I love Soren

HighQueenOfFarts · 06/11/2020 18:01

Soren - very soft name.
Reagan - I automatically think of Ronald Reagan.
Braven- unsure. Too brave.
Prefer Braden.

Congratulations! You still have a little while left to choose so don't feel too pressed for time.

Stellan is cool.

Chamberlai · 06/11/2020 17:57

Soren is the nicest of your three options. Middle name Lysander or Philip.

Doubleyikes · 06/11/2020 17:51

Awww congratulations. I love Soren.
Middle name ideas - Magnus, Finn, Marcus, Christopher, James, Felix?

WeAreFromThePlanetDuplo · 06/11/2020 17:47

Soren is lovely. I also love Stellan.

PolarnOPirate · 06/11/2020 17:45

Like Soren best. Congratulations!
