Luke is my fave.

MmeLindt · 02/07/2010 10:16

I prefer Daniel Alexander, but it would make me think you had named him after the MP.

Not keen on Rocco, Bay and really dislike Beau as it makes me think of a a hero in a cheap romance novel, set in Savannah in 1870.

Luke and Finn are nice, but don't go so well with Alexander.

Finley Alexander is better, and you can just call him Finn.

Good luck.

I agree Luke Alexander or Daniel Alexander.
Both lovely names.

emmyloo2 · 02/07/2010 09:58

Luke or Daniel, definitely.

takethatlady · 02/07/2010 08:18

I don't get why people don't like Rocco - it seems perfectly normal as a name to me!

I think Rocco Alexander is nice. But my favourite is Finlay (Finn) Alexander. Love that.

Good luck with the labour!

Luke

coffeefestival · 01/07/2010 22:34

Good luck!

Looking forward to hearing what you choose

diggingintheribs · 01/07/2010 22:05

Luke Alexander

Don't like Beau (just as I don't like Belle for a girl) - creates quite a preconception

dannap · 01/07/2010 22:03

Finn Alexander is wonderful!

Isitmeorisither · 01/07/2010 21:59

He's a fab MP though so I'd say do it anyway !

mathanxiety · 01/07/2010 21:58

Good luck Cinderella!

I like Rocco and Danny (Daniel) from your list; can't decide between the middle names, both very nice.

coffeefestival · 01/07/2010 21:54

Luke Aurelius.

Also like Danny/Daniel and Alexander, but together you get Danny Alexander, and so it would depend whether you mind using an MP's name!

Thanks everyone!Your opinions probably mean more to me than people in RL as you're honest!

Would Beau be silly for a 30 year old man though?

Forgot middle name I like Alexander, Beau Alexander sounds great.

janeite · 01/07/2010 21:24

Another vote for Luke Alexander.

scoobychocolate · 01/07/2010 21:24

I looked at your list and i still say Beau is the best name. Good luck and let us know what you decided.

Isitmeorisither · 01/07/2010 21:19

I didn't say I would encourage a child to tease them! Read again! Kids do take the piss and that's just life. At no point did I condone it.

Thissideofchannel · 01/07/2010 21:10

I like Rocco and Bay very much. Also like Aurelius or Aurelien (French).

Why would any child 'take the piss' out of Rocco? We live in London and hear lots of different names from different cultures. It's time we taught our children to appreciate differences, not encourage them to bully/tease them!

Isitmeorisither · 01/07/2010 21:06

Rocco is too unusual and not in a good way but in a 'unless your mum is Madonna, we'll take the piss out of you' kind of way.

mopsyflopsy · 01/07/2010 21:04

Rocco is cool and quite unique - I'd choose that.
So, Rocco Alexander would be my choice. Good luck!

autodidact · 01/07/2010 21:03

Luke Alexander

sophiesmummie · 01/07/2010 21:02

I really like Rocco as well!

And Aurelius. But maybe Alexander goes better with Rocco.

LaRagazzaInglese · 01/07/2010 21:01

Bay Alexander
(how exciting!)

AbFabT · 01/07/2010 21:01

Finn Aurelius. Although that does give him the initials FA. As in Sweet. Or Football.

Good luck!

LaDiDaDi · 01/07/2010 21:01

Rocco
