Registrar appointment 2 hours and no name

[Nicnar]

Help

I have to register my little mans name in 2 hours and not sure what to call him, he's 7 weeks old so cannot extend with registrar.. Help

Short list was
Rex (too dog?)
Huxley (bit too unusual)
Zachary (bit American?)

We already have a Freya and a Zander as well as 2 little guys who were stillborn (Alex and Daniel) (think that's why it is so hard to name him)

I thought the suggestion of Max was a good one, a great solid name and suits your other kids well.

Sorry to hear about little Alex and Daniel

Dax. I knew someone at university with that name and thought it was the coolest name I had ever heard shelteredlife

What did you register him as in the end op?

She got an extension Pointless

Thanks bendy , I didn't catch the update.

Sorry for your previous losses. Congratulations on the birth of your son.

Here are my thoughts about your name ideas:

Rex
I've never actually met a dog called Rex and I'm a dog walker! But I know it was a traditional name for dogs for decades so some people will still have that association. I don't particularly like it anyway. It's too short IMO, sounds like a nickname although I know it is a whole name.

Huxley
Adults might remember that Huxley was associated with a cartoon pig but that TV show ran for one year from 1989 to 1990 so no one in your son's generation will know about it. I quite like the name, I think it's unusual in a good way.

Zachary
This is my favourite, classic, nice meaning and I like the nickname Zac.

Have you considered Ezekiel or Zachariah?

Do you think maybe it's not any of them if you are so unsure?

Go back to the drawing board and try out other names! Good luck.

when i was pregnant with my ds i loved the name baxter, sadly he was stillborn. my partner was dead set on one name which i didnt mind so we named him that. now everytime i hear the word baxter i physically cringe and i was so set on it at the time.

as people have said maybe another look through names now your ds is here, maybe one will jump out at you.

I know that not everyone believes in life after death ( so please accept my apologies if this offends you - not my intention) but I hope you don't mind me giving you a different perspective, a more positive one in saying, Dextyboo, as someone who has had proof on numerous occasions of life after death. Stillborn as well as miscarriages, the spirit of the child still lives on in the spirit world. So your little boy is still very much around you.

Perhaps that might give you some comfort and lesson the pain when hearing his name; as that's the name you know him as ( despite falling out of love with it) and connect with him in your heart. I had to say something as I really felt for you having such a strong reaction.
