So I thought that we had a name picked out for our son to be, but my stepson has said that he hates the name we chose, so we are now exploring a few others.

Which is your favourite of these 3 contenders?

  • Arthur
  • Kasper
  • Finley

Or any suggestions similar to these would be very very welcome!! 😁

The names are all fine.

Take no notice of your stepson. What you name your child is none of his business whatever age he is.

Arthur!

IckleBear · 21/11/2020 16:36

Elijah
Zachary
Harvey

Arthur is my fave. Don’t like Finley.

FippertyGibbett · 21/11/2020 16:09

It’s none of your step son’s business. Don’t discuss it with him anymore, just tell him the name when it’s born.
I like Arthur, i hear Finley a lot and I’m not keen on Kasper.

FluffyEggsontoast · 21/11/2020 16:08

Love all 3

FelicityPike · 21/11/2020 16:06

I prefer Casper....but none are horrid.

SugarCoatIt · 21/11/2020 16:05

Kasper

FixItUpChappie · 21/11/2020 16:03

Kasper - love that name!

ScotchBunnet · 21/11/2020 15:48

Finley is my fave (but personally I prefer the spelling finlay!)

Aquamarine1029 · 21/11/2020 15:43

It is crazy to allow your stepson to control what you name your child.

SnowdropFox · 21/11/2020 15:40

Arthur, what was vetoed?

Viviennemary · 21/11/2020 14:40

What was the original name you chose

Viviennemary · 21/11/2020 14:39

No keen on Kasper but it's not awful. Others are ok.

Boringnamechanging · 21/11/2020 14:31

Arthur

TotalBitch · 21/11/2020 14:27
  1. Arthur
  2. Kasper
  3. Finley

All fine though. No absolute stinkers. Finley sounds slightly whiney to me for some reason... but it is far from terrible.

ShrimpSymphony · 21/11/2020 14:23

Finley

ThePinkGuitar · 21/11/2020 14:21

I think I’d ignore the stepson too op how old is he?
My dd hated the name we picked for ds but as she was little we ignored her 😂 she used to cry ‘it’s not even a proper name’ it’s a classic traditional name think william, James vibe

Spied · 21/11/2020 14:20

Finley of the 3.

Quercus3 · 21/11/2020 14:19

All nice, Finley is my fave!

Honestly though I think I'd ignore the stepson, he will have to get used to it whatever you choose!
