If you had a baby boy tomorrow and could name him your absolute dream name with no repercussions what would you choose?

@roarfeckingroarr

When I was pregnant with DS (2 months old) I had my heart set on Lysander and Ptolemy. DH vetoed (probably for the best) and he's Arthur.
Just asked DH and given the choice for a second son he wants Thierry Berfkamp Txxxx (surname - like Taylor).

Fox. Alas, I couldn't do that to a child. My boy due in Feb will be Miles instead.

If i ever have a boy he will be Sebastian Nicholas, but i absolutely love the name Lucifer! Would never be brave enough to use it.

Precious Gift. Because he would be.

With no input from DH:
Either
Joshua Ethan
or
Samuel Aaron

Taking DH into consideration:
Ethan Joseph or Ethan Thomas

But equally I could be convinced by:
Nicholas, Jonathan, Dominic, Nathaniel, Jonah, Jacob (DH says no to these last few).

It's probably a good thing I'm not having a baby boy tomorrow! Grin

My first choice for a boy was Alexander but my partner knows too many and didn't want to use it. So I'd go for that. Although we picked another A boy's name if our baby is a boy.
