Baby boy arrived today - no name, help!

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

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.

He's beautifulSmile

My first thought on looking at him was Gregory.
My favourite name is Isaac.

Casper is my suggestion and i see others have made it too!

Oscar is the dogs name Grin

DS1s middle name is Jude. Cannot use Henry, Noah, Isaac, Caspar, Toby, Dexter and a few others mentioned due to family members or their dogs!

I love Hugo but DH does not. Mulling over Finn ( Phineas ) and Freddie at the moment. Did like Jasper before he was born but he doesn't look like a Jasper. I should be sleeping but finding it impossible to do anything other than doze currently!

I agree that Oscar would go well with the sibling names. Otherwise, how about...

Thank you all, making a list of ones we like and will try out tomorrow!

Have now seen him, he's very sweet with lots of very dark hair!
