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?

DoubleDuvet · 27/10/2025 09:17

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!
