4-week-old baby boy needs a name!

Hi, we have a 1-month-old son and have yet to find a perfect name :( I feel absolutely terrible about it... I like relatively classic names and DH likes more modern; I have yet to find one which suits both of our tastes and I'm wondering if you could help? :)
My favourite:
Charles, but I agreed to go with just Charlie (for DH) and this was his name for a little while...
Edward - we liked the NN Eddie, but DH said he would rather have just Eddy and that was a no from me!
Matthew, I adore Matty for a little boy and Matt for when he's older (all the family love this too)
Joseph - Joey suits him, IMHO, but DH doesn't like it...
Zack/Zach/Zac - DH would like just Zack (no way, it doesn't suit him at all) I liked Zachary and Isaac (NN Zach/Zac) - Isaac suits him, Zachary not so much!
Benjamin/Bennett
Alexander
Oliver - adore this, but know millions
Frederick - NN Freddie
Patrick - not a fan of any NNs...
DH likes:
Boston
Lincoln
Hayden
Lewis (I actually like this a lot, but not sure it suits him, sigh...)
Alfie
Leo
Jay
Kyle/Kai

Sonny

Jesse

Fletcher

Jonah has unlucky connotations although I quite like it

ExBallerina · 29/12/2015 15:21

Jonah Jackson is perfect Star

Salene · 29/12/2015 15:32

Bet he gets called JJ if you name him that.
Not that's that's a bad thing but just something to think about

Jonah Ethan J fab name

Sophronia · 29/12/2015 16:12

Hope your DH likes Jonah! Great name, Jonas is nice too.

PotteringAlong · 29/12/2015 16:16

Jonah Ethan Jackson is a fab name!

Helmetbymidnight · 29/12/2015 16:19

Lovely baby!

Why not Jason (jay) Jackson - be aheAd of the curve!

AwfulBeryl · 29/12/2015 16:27

I think he looks like a Max, it really suits him. My dts best chum at school is a Max Smile

Other suggestions are

Seth
Sol
William - Will or Billy are fantastic nn
Evan
Callum (not loved by Mners but I know a couple who are gorgeous)
Leo ( I think he looks like a Leo too)
Rudy

He is absolutely gorgeous.

Congratulations

Paddletonio · 29/12/2015 16:34

What an absolutely gorgeous baby. Let us know what you go for! I'm another in the Jonah camp. Suits him well.

ImperialBlether · 29/12/2015 16:39

My son's Louis Matthew Surname and nobody's ever mispronounced his name. It's a lovely name - really cool, imo.

diddl · 29/12/2015 16:55

Jonah is a fabulous name!

hippoherostandinghere · 29/12/2015 17:05

He is absolutely beautiful. You sound a bit similar to me OP. I have a Jacob, it's an awesome name, so many nickname potentials but saying as jack comes from Jacob I'm not entirely sure it goes with your surname. Jonah is fab though and it's on my list of names if I ever had another DS along with Samuel, Caleb, Zachary and Oliver. I adore Eden too.

TimeGoesBy31 · 29/12/2015 17:35

Thank you everyone, DH really liked Jonah too and we're going with it!!! Thank you so much for all the help! Eden likes it too, lol, she's having a hard time saying it though! Don't they look similar?

Ahh, your kids are beautiful :)

Zhabr · 29/12/2015 19:12

So gorgeous! looks like Max to me, as DS1 used to have huge eyes as a baby and he is Maxim. I like Kai from your DH's list as well.

Zhabr · 29/12/2015 19:13

sorry late post.

pieceofpurplesky · 29/12/2015 21:59

Glad to help OP, you have beautiful dcs Smile

NauticalNat · 29/12/2015 23:20
