To ask you to help me name our son?

Help! We can't name our baby boy. We've been disagreeing about this for months now, and he's finally here and we're still no closer.
So can I turn it over to you, wise Mumsnetters? To offer up your best suggestions and help us stop referring to him as 'the baby'.
Ideally we don't want any royal names, surnames as names, or American popular names like Grayson.
Surname is Chipp.
Thank you!

Sebastian Chipp very nice.
Going back to earlier suggestions - though you probably/certainly won't want these - I really like Bertram 'Bertie' Chipp or Robert Chipp.

urbanbuddha · 03/01/2022 17:08

I think Sacha's a great name, but it doesn't work with Chipp at all imo.
Sebastian Chipp is very distinguished.

I love Elliott!
He's a gorgeous baby.
Not keen on Sacha tbh

Me again. 🤦‍♀️

After telling DP that I'm happy to settle on Sebastian, and him initially seeming delighted, he's just returned from the supermarket and said he's having a wobble. He's now thrown Sacha in to the mix, and I have to admit I really like it.
Does it work with Chipp? I'm not sure.

Sebastian is good

Sebastian

Oh what a gorgeous boy! 😍 Without looking at other suggestions, I think he's a Sebastian, or maybe an Adrian, Lucian, Dominic or Joseph.
I'm sticking with my original suggestion.... this gorgeous little boy is definitely a Sebastian! (Although I do love Elliot/Elliott too).

Rafferty!

Rafferty Chipp is a great name (even though it didn't make your shortened shortlist). Swap Elliot on your short short list & put Rafferty there instead. Grin Both Sebastian & Cameron are great names, but Rafferty has an edge...

KnottyKnitting · 02/01/2022 23:59

Definitely Sebastian!

jackstini · 02/01/2022 23:42

Sebastian I think

pumpkinpieintheski · 02/01/2022 23:39

Sebastian 💙 I thought that before I even saw your short list. Congratulations

JaneExotic · 02/01/2022 23:36

Sebastian!

Sebastian Chipp

(My son is also called Sebastian)

HoneyFlowers · 02/01/2022 23:34

He looks like a Ronald or Rowan to me. Good luck!

FixItUpChappie · 02/01/2022 23:31

Oh sorry missed the final 3. I would say Elliot has exploded in popularity.....so I'd go with Sebastian

FixItUpChappie · 02/01/2022 23:29

How about Julian? Dominic? I've always loved those two names

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 02/01/2022 23:27

Out of your final 3 I would say Elliot.
Congratulations. He is absolutely gorgeous. (I would call him George)

FluffyPinkSocks · 02/01/2022 23:26

I love Tommy but seeing as you’re down to 3, I’ll go for Sebastian! I know a Sebastian who goes by Basti, it really suits him. Your son is beautiful, congratulations and good health to you all!

theremustonlybeone · 02/01/2022 23:24

He is gorgeous- would be Sebastian for me

Although I do like
Theo
Tobias (toby)
Henry
William
Hugo

gillybombilly · 02/01/2022 23:21

I’ve always loved Cameron - a really strong name in my opinion.
He is absolutely adorable, too - congratulations Smile

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 02/01/2022 22:59

I like James, Henry, Oliver, Alexander. Strong, classic can't really go wrong. He's very cute - congratulations!

MiniMaxi · 02/01/2022 22:58

Oh late to the party, sorry! Congrats!

MiniMaxi · 02/01/2022 22:58

Name that popped into my head was Miles

ffscovid · 02/01/2022 22:57

Sebastian (nn Sebie) really suits him.

Bouncer500 · 02/01/2022 21:31

I don't like the shortlist but would choose Elliot out of the 3.
