AIBU - Baby names

[MrSpoc]

Ok i am stuck. Due another baby boy (well the wife is) at end of Jan.
We have ran out of baby boy names.

I like Tristan, Charles (charlie)
Wife likes Luke, Lucas, Nathaniel, Lawrence (i think all her choices sound old and boring)
My son aged 3 likes Eligat (not elliot but elligot)

So who is BU and what names do you all suggest? Advice seriously needed.

Fraser, I love, love love Fraser

I like Eligat but I looked it up using Google and found that it's a girl's name. Alvis Eligat Woolworth was a woman in the 1700s.

I much prefer your DW's choices to yours - they pass the various name tests I have - could it work for: solicitor, accountant, England rugby team captain (DH's name test), builder, mechanic, drummer with metal band, teenage heart throb boyband member.

Tristan might be ok for the first two, but fails for all the rest - however, Luke, Lucas and Nathaniel works for all of them.

Lewis
David
Elijah

If you named your son Nathaniel it would probably be shortened to Nathan (which I love btw as DS2 is called that :)) but I think that sounds too much like Ethan. I like the rest of your choices also like Travis which I think a PP suggested.

AutumnFalls come on then, don't leave us hanging, what's the name?

Can't I am afraid. It would quickly out me. Think of how Albert or George or Stanley would have been received 8-10 years ago. Itwill come back in fashion, I know it. I am ahead of the curve. [gritted teeth]

Anyway, All of DS' names were family names.

Max

Your son is very wise. Go with Elliott.

Go with the XMen theme: Xavier, Henry (Hank), Peter, Scott, Robert (Bobby)...

your wife should do what i do.... humour my husbands name ideas (all related to liverpool fc) but mention my own name choice, over and over until even he starts thinking of te baby as that name.. worked 4 times for me

Well I like Luke, but Im biased as I have one!

I like Luke too, but another biased one here lol! I do prefer your wife's choices tbh.

Colken, I don't think anyone would think Eligat had any particular sex connotations - it's not as if there's 20 other Eligat's in the school all of them girls!

i like jasper and ralph.

Andrew
Alistair
Fraser
Cameron?

But, ahem, yes, there is a Baby Names topic!

I'd adjust your son's choice to Ellis. :)

I met a grown up Ellis in a bar owned by family a few years ago. They knew him well as a generous, kind, intelligent member of the community who was known for his ability to give an educated comment when the need arose.

He introduced himself to me in a beautifully well spoken tone ...

"Hello. I'm Ellis. I'm... hmm... I'm rather an acquired taste!".

I like him from that moment on and so my fondness for the name began.

Going from your film theme

Harry - Harry Potter
Jack - Pirates of the Carribean
Jason - Bourne series
Logan is a great name - X-Men

We are pg as well and are really struggling with both lots of names. I love love love Jasper - DP hates it :(

Max is the best boys name IMHO. It suits a skinny little chap (like my DS) or a 20 stone rugby player.
Baby to old man.

He is Max on his birth cert. I sometimes call him Maxwell or Maxamillion (to wind him up) but never Maxey .

Malaci is lovely.
And there's an Irish name Oisen (sp) but I don't know how it's pronounced.But I bet it's lovely.

LoTF - if I called my son max with my surname he would be born an instant legend

I love Logan i have one its not to overused but everyone knows how its spelled.I think all the names of dcs have to gel together and the name has to suit the baby.And of course i named him after X men
How bout

kiefer

Of course my DS gets MadMax.
