Strong boy names -SBCU

Hi everyone,

We had our baby boy on Thursday morning and while he was a lovely, (unexpectedly!) chunky 8lbs, he’s had to stay in the Special Baby Care Unit due to issues with his oxygen levels and “sleepiness” and has had quite a few tests done. We were already struggling to think of/agree on names but now that he’s here and having a tough time, I feel like he needs a “strong” name. My favourites throughout pregnancy had been Robin and Teddy and while I still love them, I just don’t think they suit him now.

Wondered if anyone has any suggestions? I hate that he’s in SBCU and only known as “Baby Surname”. It feels so impersonal when all the other babies have their names up on the board.

Thanks in advance!

Robert - it is strong and timeless. Got great nn like Robbie and Rob. It means 'bright fame'. My 2 went without names for about 3 weeks each, also known as 'baby surname' in the hospital and 'baby no name' at home. We took time to choose the right names for them. Take all the time you need to choose the right name for him - congratulations 💐
