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)

Caleb.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!
I had a very calm baby boy. My 9 months he was into everything, not sleeping 'enough' and has continued to be a noisy and very active child! He didn't have a name for a few weeks - we tried out 2 different names.

Milo, Robin, Gabriel

Ah congrats! A know a baby Gabriel, born Thursday. He's calm....but then they're all calm at this stage!

Mrsjinglejangle · 23/08/2014 07:50

Gabriel is lovely

NannyPeach · 23/08/2014 07:59

Noah or Toby

Patrick.

CheerfulYank · 23/08/2014 08:04

Andrew, because that's DH's name and he is incredibly calm

Mutteroo · 23/08/2014 09:22

Congratulations OP!

I knew a very calm Daniel but his parents were both very calm & so genes played their part more than the name.

I would probably call my surprise baby boy either:
Theodore
Monty
Eli/Elijah

Frikadellen · 23/08/2014 15:13

Otis.. But OMG Cecil and Walter are great names.. Bertram a possibility too

AlpacaYourThings · 23/08/2014 15:14

Theodore, Oscar or Louis.

Congratulations!

I think Oliver would be a lovely name for a calm baby boy, because it means olive branch, a symbol of peace.

But Theo, omg, that'd be adorable.

Enjoy Flowers

Congrats! How about
Dominic
Quentin

Rufus or Kit

sassytheFIRST · 23/08/2014 16:28

Very excited to read that baby Truth has arrived. Congratulations!

If you don't go with ds1's suggestion Wink, I'd say Theo, Joseph (the biblical Joseph must gave been a calm sort to have gone ahead with the wedding to Mary under those circs!) or my personal fave Lucas.

nutribullet · 23/08/2014 16:33

Congratulations! And welcome to your lovely calm boy.

I love short names for boys like Kit, Ted and Ned.

Having said that, I really wanted to call one of my boys Jonty but DH vetoed that!

Enjoy him. Xx
