I had a beautiful baby boy yesterday, but we are struggling to name him.

Some of the names we quite like (or at least semi agree on) are

Milo
Reuben
Jude
Alex

Do you have a preference, or anything else similar that we may not have thought of? I'd love some thoughts (please be gentle though... I'm still very sore!!)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yay a new baby boy. Congratulations!! To me those names are all very different, so it's hard to think of names that are "similar", if that makes sense.

I think all those names are perfectly normal and as soon as he has a name, it'll suit him, just you see!!!!!

Hope you've got your feet up.

Congratulations!
I love all your names though Alex is probably my least favourite (but I would love it if short for Alexander). I would probably go for Milo or Jude but you really can't go wrong with your choices.
The children I know with those names have brothers called:
Max
Angus
George
Jack
Josiah
Caleb
Finn
Henry
but I don't really think you need more ideas! Your list is lovely.

First things first… congratulations on the arrival of your baby boy!

I like Alex best, however I am sure he will suit whatever name you settle on.

Love Jude! Congratulations, whatever name you choose will be perfect for him x
