Baby boy born on Saturday and still doesn’t have a name! Names we do like but can’t use, for various reasons, are Jude, Leo and Joey. Want something similar but a little less popular - any suggestions?

He will be little brother to Bonnie and Thea if that helps…

We already know an Arlo but I do think he needs a ‘softer’ name like this as he is very sweet and dainty. Although appreciate it’s early days and that could change 🤣

I’m being drawn to Kit!

Show quote history

I absolutely love the name Kit!

Would have been top of my list but wanted middle name Ian after my dad who died a few years ago…and the paid or names sounds like Kitten!!

He looks like a Kit.💕

Justleaveitblankthen · 12/06/2024 15:58

Would be consider James?
That was my second choice (after Michael) but my ex vetoed them both 😐

I'd avoid a name with an "oo" sound which would rules out Reuben, Jules etc. Good luck choosing : it took me weeks to name one of mine and in the end nothing sounded right!

Micah, Rex or Jack.

FifiinLondon · 12/06/2024 14:22

How about Marcus? If you like Felix. Or Liam? Has a youthful feel like Joel, and it's not Leo because you said you can't choose it.
It seems you like short and vibrant names, so putting other suggestions here: Miles, Theo, David.

Greengrapeofhome · 12/06/2024 14:11

Aw he’s so cute.

I still think Jonah sounds good and works with your surname
