Trying to get opinions on our baby boys name. (not sure whether it is blue or pink yet) but thinking with these strong kicks blue! Can't decide on the name and not sure if Rico is too different??? Would like a middle name beginning with J to fit in with the family 'theme' . Baby due in 3 and a half weeks x

Wait until he's here, he'll have a personallity. I'm sure that you'll have not problem deciding then.

henry Joseph

Enrico, fine, but Rico? That's awful, sorry.

I'd go with Henry Joseph if that's the only other option on the table.

Llareggub · 04/06/2013 16:39

I'm shocked at the contrast between the options. Henry for sure.

Fourbears · 04/06/2013 16:41

Henry Joseph by a country mile.

usualsuspect · 04/06/2013 16:43

I'm more inclined towards the Rico Jay type names

I'm not keen on Henry.

Rico???

Henry Joseph. For sure.

Mellymog · 04/06/2013 16:49

If you or DP are of Spanish/ South American background then i think Rico is fine but otherwise a bit odd.

CPtart · 04/06/2013 16:54

Henry joseph

KOTK · 04/06/2013 16:55

Henry Joseph without a doubt.

Onesleeptillwembley · 04/06/2013 16:56

Wow, they are two really different names. Henry Joseph is great. Nuff said.

JojoMags · 04/06/2013 17:08

Do you have other DCs? If so, what are they called? Which name fits best with them?

I like Rico Jay, although it does sound a bit Latino rapper! Could you use Patrick or Richard or something and have Rico as a nn?

Henry was on my list for boys, but Henry Joseph is a bit heavy.
Henry Jay
Henry James
Henry Jasper
Henry Joe

ClaraOswald · 04/06/2013 17:35

Henry Joseph.

fussychica · 04/06/2013 18:15

Blimey how different can you get?
For me Henry Joseph wins hands down - classic. Like
Robert James
Richard James

Do they both go well with your surname?

farmersdaughter · 04/06/2013 18:45

What different names....

Henry is much better than Rico.

Agree Rico as a nn for Richard.

Another vote for Henry Joseph.

usualsuspect · 04/06/2013 19:01

No one on MN will like Rico Jay , OP Grin

Chivetalking · 04/06/2013 19:26

That's quite a contrast.

Henry Joseph no contest.
