... to have not named my baby yet? (6 weeks, tomorrow)

[VolvicTouchofFruit]

Hi there - DS will be 6 weeks, tomorrow I have a handful of names I love, but it's becoming impossible. I have tried phoning the registration office; they will not allow me to move my appointment (it's tomorrow)...

Has anyone else been in this situation? Family, and friends, think I'm being unfair to DS...

Awwww well done op you must feel better :)

Lovely names! Well done OP. He's gorgeous.

Elliott is a lovely name. Congratulations.

Take the names in your shortlist and shout them to one another from a different room. Which sounds best because at some point you will have to call them :)

So sorry for your losses. Elliot Charles is lovely

Just seen you have chosen :) Great name!

Yay! Was really hoping you would go with Elliott it's perfect for him.

Elliot Charles is a gorgeous name, well done choosing! Such a lovely happy looking baby too, congratulations x

Whoop!Whoop! For Elliot Charles.

Great choice. Lovely name for a lovely baby. That's all that matters. Not naming before birth or 42 days later. Enjoy.

I would get all the names on your list and hold him and look at him (while awake) and see if you can see something in his face. Say each name to him. See what happens. A sign is what you need to help seal that decision (I realise I sound nuts...) but I think if they all sound much the muchness to you then you need something to defiantly put one name firmly in your head. Then there will be no regrets tomorrow. Maybe there will be a small smile or just the feeling that he's a (you fill in the gaps). He's a stunner!! Good luck

Hello Elliot!

I still can't believe no one suggested Balonz

Elliot Charles is a lively name. Congrats!

Lovely! Though I'm sure he's very lively too.

Yay I came on to vote Elliot 😍 - I know an Eliot James, we do call him El sometimes. Try singing happy birthday dear Elliot and see how right it feels

Ciaran James, or CJ for short

Ah dash, I knew If I commented without RTFT I would miss the name! Congrats on managing to choose

Elliott Charles... Lovely! Sounds like an author in my slightly odd mind

My Elliott is called El, Els, Elli or blondie (obviously due to hair not his his name lol). I don'tdon'tthink think of the NNs being girly, they are just his names. He likes El as he says it's like Supermans real name. His initials are EE so he has also been called mobile network or more recently BT by his sports coaches people make up all kinds of strange things.

We didn't decide on his name till I was in labour. It wasn't even on our radar but I absolutely love it now, his middle name is Aaron.

Just read whole thread and was hoping for Elliott. Congrats! He's a really gorgeous baby by the way. Now relax and enjoy him

Thats beautiful xxxx

He's beautiful!!

We have an Eliot in our family and he's thoughtful, artistic and great fun. Super name!

I'm really glad he's an Elliot - when I first read your shortlist I liked Oliver or Noah but the minute I saw his pic I thought "Elliot". I think it really suits him. Not even sure why!

Yes and a friend of mine has an Elliot, now 17, who is a really lovely lad - and was the cutest baby - just like yours :-) it's a great name.
