Please help! Less than 1 month until baby boy arrives and no name still 🤦‍♀️

Ideally we’d love a name that is slightly unique yet classy.

Trying to avoid names ending in ‘A’ and ‘ER’ as they clash with our surname.

Some of the names we love but can’t go with as friends/family have already

  • Rupert
  • Otto
  • Luca
  • Wilf (Wilfred)
  • Sebastian
  • Reuben

Some names that are potentially still in the mix but we’re not madly in love with

  • Nicolo
  • Jenson
  • Orlando
  • Jaques

We have ties to Italy, Germany, France and Ireland as well as living in England.

Name suggestions much appreciated!!!!

I’d avoid Jenson as it is quite popular (currently 5 of them at the small
primary school I work at!)

First of all stop panicking!! You've got a whole month until he's even born!! You will
Probably change your mind when you meet him anyway whatever you choose in advance.

I really don't like any of the names on your second list sorry. Some others:

Otis, lando, Lyon, Barnaby, Casper, Cassius , Enzo, Ludo

Love Sebastian and Rupert and put them on my own list, but partner vetoed them both.

viktoria · 19/10/2022 21:20

How about
Ludo
Leon
Hugo

Skinnermarink · 19/10/2022 21:20

Ooh you mean you CAN’T have those names?

my second choice was Rory.

Skinnermarink · 19/10/2022 21:17

Well, I have a year-old Sebastian and I love it just as much as when we first chose it, so that’s my vote. He’s a cheeky chappy and suits being called Seb as well but the full name is used frequently.

DisforDarkChocolate · 19/10/2022 21:15

Luca is my favourite out of the first list, I also live Lucas.
