Baby boy number 4 - was expecting a girl!

So..... I have just given birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy. The thing is, I was told at my 20 week scan that it was a girl. We were all set with a girl’s name which was to be Indie. I know it can be a boy’s name but it just doesn’t work for me. Now in an absolute stale mate on boy’s names!
Having three boys already I feel like I am completely stuck..... we have Ethan, Aidan (both teenagers) and two year old Brodie. I love free sprited, surfy type names or something not weird but a little quirky. Or Celtic but not traditionally so. The only name I have loved so far is Cody. But Brodie and Cody....... Confused Grin Otherwise my other half likes Rex but I’m not completely sold. Any ideas??!

If you like Celtic names have you considered Albie?

Congrats ! I agree that Dylan, Finn, Zachary all fit and I love Rex.

I'll add: Dashiell, Otto, Otis, Rory, Callum, Asher, Rhys, Theo which I think also fit.

I had a boy after being told girl.. Shell shocked as we had a name and a mountain of stuff! As my reward (imo) he slept through at 2 weeks old and has been my easiest dc by far!!
Congratulations op!!

Agree with pp suggestions of Dylan, Fraser, Ivo or Flynn working well with your other boys names - my other suggestions would be Macsen (nn Mac?) or Heath?

Piccalily19 · 10/01/2021 16:58

Congrats! What a shock though! We’re pretty set on Zachary for our little boy arriving next month and a friend of ours said Zach is a “surfer name” ha. I like peoples suggestions of Dylan too!

OchNoAgain · 10/01/2021 14:56

Aw huge congratulations! The baby boy name I loved but didn't use was Conrad (actually Brodie but you've used that Smile) Love your other boys names too.

What a shock being told a different sex at 20 weeks! I think everyone kind of assumes it's those scans are never wrong (at least I did!)

noscoobydoodle · 10/01/2021 14:55

Ozias (Ozzy), Kester, Saul, Jago, Eli, Indigo and Inigo (our unused short list for a boy!)

Tsubasa1 · 10/01/2021 14:54

I vote for Flynn!

Oh congratulations!! My first thought was Dillon or Dylan and I see pp have already suggested it!
I know a cool surfer Dillon

ClaraBean · 10/01/2021 13:58

Congratulations!!
What about Indigo? Like Indie but not Indie?

KHazel · 10/01/2021 13:58

It was a bit of a shock but he’s a beautiful boy so can hardly be disappointed!

Thank you for suggestions. So, so helpful getting some much needed input!

Congratulations on your baby boy! I would say that Finn sounds like a good bet. Or Fraser maybe?

Diddlysquatty · 10/01/2021 11:41

I think Corey, Dylan and Byron fit with Brodie
