DS 2 arrived this afternoon by EMCS at 34 weeks. He's doing really well but we have no name for him and I'd really like him to have one ASAP - it just feels a bit disjointed that he doesn't.

I've included a photo for you - any suggestion welcome! Siblings are Poppy and Reuben. Surname is 2 syllables, beginning with a B Smile

I thought of Thomas when I saw him, but also like Casper or Joseph

I think Storm or Barra should be in his name, maybe Barra as a middle name, most children love having a story with their name.

I love Finn too.

Yesterday was St Ambrose Day, so Ambrose.

People will now bundle in with comments about rice pudding or custard. One of my siblings is Ambrose, these comments have never happened in real life over 5 decades

If it was St Ambrose Day, and he looks like an Ambrose, I think you should go for it OP Smile

MummyInTheNecropolis · 08/12/2021 08:00

He looks like a Luca or Luke to me. Congratulations, he’s an adorable little thing 💕

GU24Mum · 08/12/2021 07:55
