Hello, can anybody suggest any names that might suit our baby boy?

Prefer slightly more traditional names but willing to hear any suggestions people have.

What name comes to mind when you see him?

DH took one look at you very handsome LO and said Matt Damon. What about Matthew?

smileyplant · 11/02/2023 05:15

Arthur, Robert or Peter!

badwulf · 11/02/2023 05:22

He totally looks like an Arthur.

I have an Arthur and when he was a baby he the same look of serenity on his face. He was actually the calmest happiest little guy.

Thank for you for all your suggestions and for the lovely comments for our boy.

Really liked the suggestions of Lucas for the middle name as a nod to my husband so after some late night discussions, we are going to go with Arthur Lucas. DH wasn’t quite sold on Jasper but I love Arthur and really seems to suit him so very happy.

He's gorgeous OP congratulations! I have no idea why, but Oscar was the name that popped into my head when I looked at him!

Dustyblue · 11/02/2023 10:36

So Arthur Lucas? That's a beautiful name. Artie for short, love it.

Enjoy him OP X

Haven't got a name that hasn't already been suggested but I just wanted to say how perfect your little boy is!

He looks like a wee Oscar to me! What a beautiful baby, congratulations ❤️

He's beautiful! Looks like a little Stanley or Toby to me but Jasper suits him perfectly. Congratulations!

Oh, he's gorgeous, congratulations! Wilfred.

OMG the second I saw the picture Jasper came into my head and that is not a name I have ever really thought about!

Jasper

Congratulations! He's totally beautiful!

Arthur or James

PinkSyCo · 11/02/2023 20:15

Aww he’s so handsome. I think he needs a good strong name like Thomas. Thomas James is lovely.
