Please help me pick a name for baby boy due in a few days time. We had picked another name, but suddenly changed our mind. Short list in no particular order is:

Oliver (but don’t really like Ollie!)
Arthur
George
Hugo
Kit
Patrick
Max
Alexander (again dont like Alex!)

Thanks!

I love George, Arthur and Max - my top 3 boys names!
Patrick is quite nice, and Hugo is ok (posh boy vibes). Kit is nice if short for Christopher - I’m not keen as a standalone name (a bit childish as an only option for an adult imo)
I think you need to cross off Oliver and Alexander if you don’t like Olly or Alex - as that’s what they will become in secondary school, even if you manage to control it until then)

Arthur
Hugo second place

Christopher with nickname Kit- or Alexander. I also like Patrick but don't choose that unless you like Paddy too!

Hugo and George. Good, strong, classic names.

I like Oliver and Alexander best. Both of my children have names that I don’t like the nickname of! Oliver is short enough where it may not be shortened in later life, whereas Alexander probably would be…

Patrick.

Kit is a shortening, I'd go for full name on birth cert if that's your choice.

Have a relative Alexander who is known as Sandy, just to give another option.
