I’d have happily gone full Ratatouille on my boys and named them Rémy and Émile. Husband vetoed me funnily enough.

Had one 3 weeks ago and we went with Felix ☺️

Oh-Shit

Or maybe Jasper

This tickled me as I have a Jasper. He was by no means an oh shit baby, but has definitely made me swear under my breath on more than one occasion😂

Blair as a first name is quite common in my part of the world. I wouldn't associate it with TB at all.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and weve just started rewatching dexter - I really love the name but not sure I can name him after the show 🤔

Show quote history

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and literally just said the same thing to my husband 😂 we also recently binged the show and I love the name, but don't know how I feel naming our son after a murderer 😂

I love the name Lysander. I’d also choose Noah or Elijah. (Neither of my boys have these names though)

Nanasueathome · 29/12/2024 21:03

Aren or Jesse

Blair. Every Blair I know, young and old are all lovely people.

Except for the ones who are war criminals!

I’m having one this Friday and I haven’t got a clue!

I'm also having one in 2 weeks and same!!

With my 3 girls I didn't struggle to name them at all. Why are boys so hard to name??

ReadyforSpringNow · 29/12/2024 20:56

Dane or Odin.

But gosh I'm an OAP.
Didn't have boys.. ( 4 Grandsons).
