That's it really. Sasha's full name would be Alexander.

I also like Wlliam but DH won't consider it!

Daniel. Not Sasha!! That is a terrible name!!

ScumbagCollegeDropout · 27/01/2013 09:44

Daniel.

Perfectly good name. Not many young ones around now. Works well for all ages. Dan and Danny both great nicknames.

Reuben means ''behold...a son!'' would use it for that reason alone :)

Sacha no matter what it's a diminutive of is too feminine sounding imo.

Ethen/Ethan - Bit 90's to my ears (sorry not meaning to offend anyone just my opinion)

Max - cute. I like.

Daniel - timeless classic, but doesnt have the ''sparkle'' of Reuben or Max to me.

Enjoy your bundle of joy :)

Reuben.

Reuben

ZolaBuddleia · 27/01/2013 17:58

Sasha, but why not just give him that name, rather than something completely different?

MadameCastafiore · 27/01/2013 18:01

Reuben, if DC 3 if he comes along that's what I would like to call him. Max is cool too, Maximilian though, not just Max.

Lexiesinclair · 27/01/2013 18:02

Max! I love it.

ajandjjmum · 27/01/2013 18:03

I have a Max William - so that would be my vote! Smile

Sasha - I have always loved the name

IslaValargeone · 27/01/2013 18:08

Sasha.

Artigene · 27/01/2013 18:51

Thanks. Reuben seems to lead followed by Sasha then Daniel.

Sasha is my fave but DH loves Reuben, the others are our compromises but we may well resort to a compromise. I will think more about Reuben though.

. I note comments about Sasha being feminine but I'm not too worried about that, in most of the world it's the diminutive for Alexander and used by males.

Reuben.

Viviennemary · 27/01/2013 18:57

I like Alexander best. But not keen on Sasha. I thought it was a girls name.

telsa · 27/01/2013 19:28

Sasha. Lovely.

Spookey80 · 27/01/2013 19:32

Ethan

Rhubarbgarden · 27/01/2013 19:33

Sasha

In Germany it's illegal to register a female Sacha. In Russua and the Slavic countries is predominantly male and always a nn for Alexander. In the US it's predominantly female. I can think of 2 famous bearers of the name: Sacha Baron Cohen (male) and Sasha Obama (female). So hard, I don't want to saddle him with a name he will think is too feminine.

Daniel is the safest option isn't it?
