Really struggling to find a first name for my baby boy

We are struggling to find first name for our baby boy we set on the middle name is George and our surname is Day I kinda want a unique first name, but I don’t know if that would go with her having such a traditional middle name. Need some help.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

One for the oil company workers-

Julian Day 🤣

Sorry OP, this is absolutely no help to you (except maybe to rule out some names you might otherwise have liked), but to those of us with no skin in the game, it is hilarious.
Some truly funny posters on here.

@TrudgingTowards2026 , back when we had the laugh response I got 47 for one post. I'm proud of that one but it was under a different username.
It was in Relationships not Baby Names.

@Mistletoeiggi , I had assumed that Patrick was a joke suggestion. Do you think he's due on March 17th?

@PevenseygirlQQ , try saying the others with the surname.

HugoYorway · 20/01/2026 16:16

@3luckystars , Good one - it perfectly hits the 'Awww Oliver George is gorgeous' spot and yet misses the 'Does it go with the surname'?

Mistletoeiggi · 20/01/2026 15:48

You can't use a saints name with the surname Day surely! (A poster suggested Patrick). I know George is one too but as a middle less noticeable

I like James.

Sonny
Knighton
Jay
Ray
Sergei
Darren
Saint
Bert

Forget about the middle name and focus on a first name that goes with the surname. Middle names hardly ever get used.

Watch the initial.
D Day is OK, B Day isn't.

Would’t for Sonny Day either 😂 I do love the name Sonny though

GrillaMilla · 20/01/2026 15:40

Henry is good

orson?

Stop it! you know Orson is reserved for people with the surname Cart or Carter.

I’d avoid anything that starts with D with your surname 😅

@Giraffehaver , I like Edwin but Ed Day and Eddie Day are not great.
