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…

@SJC2015

Harry Hooton - not for me.

Show quote history

I also have a Charlie with a surname like Chaplin 😂

Henry.
I know its supposedly popular but we are yet to cross over with one in nursery/school/after school and weekend activities. We get a few Harry's every now and again (my DS is nicknamed Harry)

@betsy1982

kit? With your surname?? Doesn't work for me. It just runs in together. I'd rule ends in 't' out if it were me

AmelieTaylor · 12/06/2024 12:12

@betsy1982 oh that's wayyyy to much cuteness in one small bundle!

congratulations!?

whatever you call him, he's going to make it perfect!!

Do you like Charlie? (Charles)

what have the other kids suggested??

I like Max Hooton too, but HATE Maximilian/Maxwell etc

StoneColdAlibi · 12/06/2024 12:08

He looks like a Rudy to me

Olika · 12/06/2024 12:04

Congratulations! He is so cute. 🤩 How about you choose your favourite 3-5 names and then tell your DH to choose from them. I did this as otherwise it would have taken too long to find a name.

Changethetune · 12/06/2024 11:58

I like Kit. Also Gabriel, Jesse and Jem.

I know a lot of people with budgies called joey. Any name ending in IE or Y might be cute for a baby, but not an adult! There are some great names on here though.

He is gorgeous- looks like an Arlo to me!

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!
