What's my name?!

Stuckerooni · 10/02/2016 22:53

Hi, asked for some help with names a few weeks ago and baby has arrived today and is a (I think!) beautiful boy. But he still has no name!

Please tell me what he looks like to you.

I like Benjamin, Edward, Arthur - traditional but not too common names, and his big brother is a Thomas.

Any ideas welcomed!

What's my name?!

Arthur 100%, I know way too many Ben's and Edward has forever been tarnished for me by Twilight

BeautyIsTruth · 10/02/2016 23:01

I think he looks like a Benjamin. He's gorgeous, congrats!

NoCapes · 10/02/2016 23:02

Ahhhhh he's gorgeous!
Congratulations Flowers
I love Edward nn Eddie but that baby has Benjamin written all over his face

VimFuego101 · 10/02/2016 23:03

He does look like a Ben. I admire your strategy in posting pics of a gorgeous squishy baby to draw people in to reply to your thread Grin

SnuffleGruntSnorter · 10/02/2016 23:04

Aww he looks like an Arthur or maybe Albert to me

LeLeFox · 10/02/2016 23:06

Tom and Ben - lovely x

Such a cute squishy face!

He looks like a Benjamin, Benji for short I think Smile congrats!!

SpaceDinosaur · 10/02/2016 23:10

Oh he's perfectly beautiful and wonderful and squishy and I WANT ONE!!!

I also think Benjamin.
My DH is a Benjamin. Ben for friends and Benj for me. It's a gorgeous name.

PennyHasNoSurname · 10/02/2016 23:12

Yy to Ben/Benjamin

Or Isaac

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 10/02/2016 23:18

Congratulations, hope you're both well.

Arthur for me, although I can see him as a Hal, full name Henry.

Newmummy15 · 10/02/2016 23:22

My first thought was Benjamin! Congratulations!!

StitchesInTime · 10/02/2016 23:24

All lovely names.

I have come across lots of small Edward's recently though, I think it's getting more popular. Don't know if that bothers you.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 11/02/2016 00:07

He's so cute. Look at those squishy tubby cheeks and Rose bud mouth. All new content and snuggled up with his mummy. I could eat him.Grin.
The name that came to my mind was Christopher.

ChimpyChops · 11/02/2016 00:18

William came to my mind when I saw your gorgeous boy!

I have a Benjamin, so would choose that! Beautiful name :)

tinofbiscuits · 11/02/2016 01:36

Arthur

Jenda · 11/02/2016 01:39

Oh he's gorgeous!! He looks like a Benjamin to me which is a lovely name, as is Thomas. I do like the other two as well though. Congratulations! Flowers

Thanks all! I'm thinking Benjamin Arthur suits him, and Thomas and benji go nicely together i think. Just need to convince dh in the morning now!
