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!

Rafael...Rafe

Theodore...Theo or Teddy

I like Miles too...with a longer middle name to balance it, eg Miles Alexander 🥰

He's scrumptious OP...let us know when you've named him ♥️

I think he looks like a Rufus

He's a Freddie or Jasper I think.

He is so cute, congratulations!
I think he looks like a Dominic or an Alexander.

I find that with a one syllable surname that a two or more syllable first name flows off the tongue easier. That being said - I love the choice from above of Elliott is lovely.

Justyouwaitandseeagain · 30/12/2021 20:24

Another vote for Alexander (nn Alex)!

Bimblybomeyelash · 30/12/2021 20:22

My current favourite boys name is Daniel. An underused classic. And I like Dan. And Danny boy for when they are little and cute.

Congratulations!
I would choose Julian. My oh prefers Walter.
Hope you find the perfect name for your gorgeous boy.

Crowdfundingforcake · 30/12/2021 17:34

What a cutie! I know you said no 'royal' names but William nn Billy. Billy Chipp is a brilliant name.

CuddlyDudley71 · 30/12/2021 17:30

Oh my! He is so handsome!.
He looks just like my son when he was born-he's Dexter Miles if that's any help!
