A brother for Artemisia

[ediepop]

Originally it was going to be Lucian...yep we are those parents. But we got cold feet and decided it was too wanky even for us. (I love Lucian to any Lucian owners, but we thought in combination with Artemisia, it was a bit...hmm)

So then, after much discussion, the only name we could agree on, was Milo. But we have now come across, not one, not two, but THREE dogs called Milo. Apparently it is in the top ten dog names in the UK. This has... put us off. And we don't like Miles.

Names I like, which DH has roundly rejected:

Tobias
Marcus
Sebastian
Casper
Silas
Felix

Anyone got any good suggestions, before we name our son this generation's equivalent of Rex?

I am 39+6 and getting a bit worried that we seem to have NO candidates. DH has been totally unable to come up with any suggestions.

Congratulations! Benedict is a lovely name. :)

Awwww - beautiful name for a beautiful boy. If you were near me (Scotland) I'd be round in a trice otherwise can you give his soft little cheek a gentle stroke for me? I feel like I've become an Aunt again today, I feel very attached to a child who I will probably never see, born to parents I don't know - I'm a big sap. :o

Oh, what a lovely name. Sniff his little head for me.

Yay - baby Benedict. Lovely! (and ouch!)

Aw, congratulations! I was just going to offer up Fabian when I realised how long this thread was and that you were likely to have popped by the end, so kept going and there he is!

Funnily, Anthony came into my head about halfway through too - must have subliminally entered my mind without me consciously reading it or something - lovely names!

Ediepop, I'm about to marry one of the names you've chosen! Excellent choices!

How is Artemisia?

Here he is. 'bruiser' Benedict

Awwwwwwww

How gorgeous! Welcome Benedict, and congratulations ediepop!

Gorgeous name for a gorgeous boy! Congratulations, welcome to the world Benedict!

I like your names very much however I just want to check - what letter does your surname begin with? Is there any potential for him to be BLAB, BLAG or BLAH?

An acronym of BLAZ would be awesome but statistically unlikely....

Oh, he is truly beautiful! Welcome to the world sweet baby Benedict.

Oh! This is my all time favourite baby name thread ever! A beautiful massive baby and a brilliant name. I have a 14 year old Benedict so may be a little biased though.

oh my word, he is scrumptious. I do

Ha ha - I would say though that he definitely doesn't look like a Barry :o

He suits his name already. He's gorgeous

He's lovely.

I so wanted a Benedict. Congrats to all four. Just wow.

Dear Lord! Congratulations and respect, Edie, in equal measure.

Many congrats edie. What a beautiful boy.

Thank you for the thread. I loved how unapologetically MN it was. It made me feel broody just so I could use one of the names but I'm too old and already have a houseful.

Enjoy

Beautiful baby and name.
