My c-section is next week and we still don't have a boys name

Help us please! Smile I started a thread ages ago asking for help choosing between Eloise or Georgia for a girl, Eloise was the clear winner and DH and I have decided that's the one we're going with.

However, we don't know what we're having so I'd like to settle on a boys name, or at least have a short list by the time baby arrives (I know we have a bit of time before registering baby but still)

We like George and Sebastian, DH semi-jokingly suggested Felix and I actually really like it. He thinks it's slightly pretentious but I disagree.

So that's the short list so far: George, Sebastian, Felix. Our eldest is called Ruby.

What do we think of these names? Open to other suggestions please. Thanks

I really like both Sebastian and Felix! I’m not such a fan of George.

George is great.
I don't like Felix and am less keen on Sebastian which invariably gets shortened to Seb or Sebby.

I always suggest Alexander because it is SUCH a great name. Elegant and traditional with loads of good nicknames.
George Alexander or Alexander George are fab.

I love the name Felix, it's my favourite of the list!

I like George. I also like Felix and don't think it's pretentious at all! I do know a couple though which puts me off.

Felix and George are both great. You could use one of them as first name and the other as middle name.

Sebastian gets my vote.

Nathaniel
Alexander

George (and Georgia) are lovely. I'm not a fan of Sebastian or Felix.

Clairejay34 · 28/05/2022 23:54

I love Sebastian!

What about Casper? I think that has a similar vibe to Felix.

MissedItByThisMuch · 28/05/2022 23:51

I like all those names. George is my least favourite (but nothing wrong with it). If it were me I’d choose between Sebastian and Felix - I like them both equally. (Have known plenty of kids with both names over the years of my kids’ schooling. None particularly “posh” or pretentious).

Love Sebastian and I think it sounds lovely with Ruby (& Eloise in case you have another!)

I hope all goes well with the c-section and you have a speedy recovery.
I'd say George if you were wanting Georgia but if you then had another girl would you regret it if you still wanted Georgia?! I do like Felix but makes me instantly think of the cat food advert! Sebastian is lovely if you aren't going to mind it probably being shortened to Seb. I love the name Nathaniel. Ihave an Ethan and Jacob.
