My son will be called Thing2

[hodgepodgepanda]

I don't have a name for my very soon to be born Ds (less than 4 weeks)

I have trawled through lists & listened to every suggestion people have given me but none seem to 'fit' .
It's got to the point where I hope he comes with a name else it really will be Thing2 (i already have a Thing1)

Theses are my needs iyswim

I have an uber rare German Surname (only 15 of us exist) that it has to go with .
It can't be Chavvii so no Kaydan or the likes ( no offense just not for me)
I'd prefer something different as none of my immediate family have your everyday British names iyswim .
The names I did like/want have become far to common such as Reuben/Alfie

I do like Blake/Jasper & Ruari but none are quite right

I sound really fussy , but I feel this is a huge decision that I should not have control over I'm useless with decisions & don't want him to be miserable when he is older due to me choosing some random name that he hates

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Bryce
Brodie
Keir
Gregor
Casper
Edgar

or as a bit of an outside choice, Blaven? It's a mountain in Skye - a very dramatic one - we really considered it for DS1 but weren't brave enough.

Ooh I like Bryce , Brodie seems to be a very popular girls name round here else that would have been my top choice

Ooops sorry bit rude of me ...

Blaven is nice and I like it just doesn't quite fit

We are referring to our bump as thing 2 so I get your concern!

OP Am probably going against trend here, but have you considered giving your son a very 'straight' but pleasant classical name - either English or German - plus one or two middle names that are more unusual or fashionable or off-the-wall. That will give him - and you - the maximum flexibility.

I tend to like names that don't automatically date a person or seem faddy/fashionable or too try-hard. By all means reflect fashions and personal preferences in middle names. They can always be used instead of classic first name if preferred.

Vincent
Stanley
Lincoln
Winston

Hmm, I know two baby Blakes and they have very chavvy parents....anyway, how about:-

Lysander
Merlin
Atticus
Milo/Mylo
Lance
Yenton

Flora Every English name possible has already been used by one of Dps siblings (he is one of 8) and as they are a close family we can't really double up on names .
Not sure really what German names their are tbh apart from my Dgds which was Helmuth ...

K/Conrad?

Agreed Luna. I don't like labelling names chav-whatever, but your main favourites are supremely common round here.

If you like Alfie then what about Albie instead?

Quentin
Reuben
Marcus

Miles
Giles
Ralph
Curt
Louie
Leonard
Pierce

Brock
Braxton
Roscoe

I think German for 'thing' (depending on shade of meaning you want) could be Sache, Ding or Wesen.

Or just use less common (in UK) German names to add impact from the surname: Zelig, Otto, Falco, Rudiger, Wolfgang, Jens, Torsten, Bruno?

I love Blake and I'm not chavvy, promise.... Neither is the Blake I know!
Jared?
Rudy?
Rory?
Gus? (Angus, fergus, Magnus)
