I started a thread the day before he was born, but we still can't pick a name, it's beyond a joke now. Hubble and I don't agree. We were going for Henry but it's way too popular, we got weak reactions when trying it out (not that I need big reactions, but I could see I'm not sure either, people are like 'meh'). Most people seem to know at least 3 others already.

So: Elliot, Zachary or Simon?
Simon was a grandfather. Is it dull?
Elliot - does it remind you of idiot?
Zachary - does Zach sound like sack?
To go with Alexandra and Aurora (she is Rory)
Jewish heritage, non religious English family.

All opinions welcomed, my mum is fed up of discussing it and frankly so am I!

We wanted a strong, solid name, not too 'of the moment'. Thought that was Henry but right now it's very 'now', it seems.

Definitely Augustus, great name.

Personally I don't like Simon or Elliot but love Zach (and Zachary is fine). Henry is nice enough. But really you just need to decide on what you both like. I wouldn't worry unless you're thinking of using a really random name. These are all pretty standard names imho

What about Theo?

Alexandra , Aurora and:

Alastair
Adam
Gregory
Tobias
Nathaniel
Jonathan

Or stick with Henry but go with Hal for a nickname.

My hubby is Simon - it's a wet name IMO (and I don't think that because of him!)
