A boys' name by this afternoon... Go!

[ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged]

Imagine you're having a baby boy TODAY. What do you call him?

(And yes, I am, and no, I have no idea. We keep changing our minds)

I'd take a look at him and decide which he looked most like out of Otto, Casper, Asa or anything else that leapt into my mind when I saw him.

A friend has a baby called William but I always manage to call him George because he just looks like a George. Every single time.

Angus

Elliot
Laurence nn Laurie

William
Benedict
Sebastian
Matthias

I kept turning the shortlist over in my mind, thought about nicknames, connotations and how they sounded in other language versions.

Good luck!

Finbar or Rory

I would call my new baby boy Fraser and i would register him before dh found out and scuppered my plan

Wait till you meet him. Both mine were nameless for at least a week.

Luke
Joel
Marcus
Johnny

If it was me today I'd choose Joel. Good luck

Good luck!

Broderick, nn Brody
Orson nn Awesome!

Ezra would be my top choice of name, followed by Xander (but would give Alexander as full name). If he has a brother called Ethan, I'd go with Xander or Levi. Not really a fan of siblings having names which begin with the same initial

Nico
Micha
Ezra or
Elijah

Today it would be one of:

Edward
Arthur
James

Whichever one of those felt right for him...

Matthew or James.

Forgot Alexander.

Jude Matthew
Though DH would never agree to Jude!

Elijah or Ezra

Arthur.

In an alternative universe where I could get away with it, Ptolemy. I'm not sorry.

Amos
Nathaniel
James
Samuel

He would be called Frederick.

I also like Caspar, Felix, Huon and William.

Do come back and tell us what your son ended up as, op!

Rory or Ewan

Asher or Elliot

Elliott. My favourite and it's come up a few times so there's your answer!

Fergus or Tearnan

Lawrence with the nn Laurie.

Good luck!
