LO is 6 weeks old and nameless (yep, it's been a struggle). The top name picks are Oscar, Vincent, Jasper, Finn, Leonardo and Percy... I think. My favourite name is Caspar, but ex-p believes he'll be bullied.

Oscar - I like it, but too popular for my liking.
Finn and Percy - nickname names imo, they feel incomplete and I can't picture an adult with either name and I dislike any full versions of them.
Vincent - I can't decide whether I love it or hate it.
Jasper - similar sound to Caspar without the friendly ghost association.
Leonardo - would inevitably be shortened to Leo which is incredibly popular.

I like timeless names and those that are known but uncommon, such as my daughter's - Athena.

Thoughts on any of the top picks, any first name suggestions, any middle name combos for the listed names? Anything really, any kind of input, I'm tired of circling round and round with names after over 10 months! Thank you in advance Smile

What about Caspian? Like the sea. Sounds similar to Casper but is also cool.

I like Vincent and think it goes well with Athena. I guess you have to like Vinnie though...

Vincent Oscar... (depending on surname) ?
