Samuel and Autumn are nice.
absolutely NO to baby. Is your favourite film Dirty Dancing??

Haha I get asked that a lot, but no! I’ve just met a few Baby’s and loved their name!

No, not 'Baby'
But maybe 'Fetus' - it sounds a bit sort of 'Greek Goddish'.
Or 'Embryo' (Ember)

I’m cackling, thank you 🤣

All fine except Baby. That's not a name for anyone out of infancy and a teenager would hate you for it. It's a nickname you can use for the first couple of years, like most people do and like it was in the film.

My teen boys have a couple of friends called Arthur and it goes down well.

Sorry but I’m struggling to get past ‘Baby.’ You do know you’re naming a person who will eventually become an adult, not a doll, right? I’d also worry it’s a bad omen to give your baby a name that suggests s/he won’t make it to childhood.

Edited

I’ve met two adult people named Baby! :)

Hi, I'm on a similar vibe to you, some of your names are on my list for our baby girl. I’m struggling to find ‘the name’
on my list is:
Ginny
Monday
Lark
Bloom
Andie
Nova
Amity

when in your baby due?

Not Baby

This. Imagine being in your 20s and starting work and having to introduce yourself as Baby, especially as a man. Don’t be cruel to
your child before they’re even born!
