Born on Easter Sunday! Please, help us name our DS!

[GreenLounger]

Hi all,

My little boy arrived yesterday... He is an Easter Baby!

We are so stuck for names - our styles are way too different.

I like relatively popular names...

We gave a list of 15 to each other:

Mine:
Alexander
Benjamin
Daniel
Edward (Teddy)
Ethan
Henry
Isaac
Joseph
Kieran
Matthew
Nathan
Reuben
Samuel
William (Billy)
Zachary

His:
Ash
August
Bryce
Carson
Clinton
Cruz
Dante
Devon
Elvis
Gideon
Kyan
Nixon
Oak
Ryder
Saxon

Help!!!

Congratulations! I much prefer your list and I personally think that if you can't agree, Mummy has prerogative. Good luck.

Please not Elvis or Gideon

Congrats on your new son!

Like your list! His...not so much. The only one on there that's passable is Gideon. Kyan could become Kieran which is also nice.

I suspect my DH agreed to my suggestions after I gave birth...

I love all of your list, and only Gideon from his. Is he being serious?

He really is I can't find a name that even compromises!

Congratulations on the birth of your son! I like your list more, particularly Alexander and Edward.Don't like any of his, to me they sound like a West/Kardashian short list......

Yours are traditional, his are sir name-y. Can you find a name that fits somewhere in between, or do you have a mutual family name you could use. I guess you need an unusual traditional name!

Ashley, instead of Ash

OAK???? you really need to put your foot down!

Ashley is better, but I don't particularly like it... It's okay, but I want to name him something I like!

I even offered to go to Fletcher, something id never pick, but thought that it was meeting in the middle - he didn't like it. I thought he'd think twice after the birth, awful delivery actually... Nope, he's having none of it!

Congratulations!
Also vastly prefer your list.

Not on either of your lists, but what about Pascal (Pas-kahl) - it's a name that means ' Easter'. It's unusual at present, but has a long history. The Cornish version is 'Pascoe'.

Or, traditionally, Dominic was often used for boys born on a Sunday.

Your names are mostly a bit boring, and his are all a bit "out there".

Of the two lists, I like Reuben, Kieran, Zachary and Dante.

Are Kieran and Kyan sufficiently similar to compromise on? Or how about Cian (the c is hard, so a bit like Kieran and Kyan).

Ben
Harry

I like Pascal. quite popular in France. Dominic was my boy choice but had 2 girls!

Maxwell
Marshall
Clifford
Wesley

Maybe choose a first name from your list, and a middle name from his.

Congrats on the birth of you little Easter bunny.

(Any pics?)

Rowan
Hardy
Miles
Lewis
Louis
Charlie

I wouldn't say my list was boring, but then I wouldn't

He doesn't like Ben or Harry...

I love them both!

I quite like Cian, but not sure if I like it enough

The thing with his list is that they are quite showbizzy and it's hard to live up to a name like that in the real world. It can come over a bit chavvy when you live in, I don't know, somewhere like Huddersfield and you're called Dante or Oak!

Love love love Miles but prefer the spelling of Myles.

Love your list, hate his, sorry!

Call the baby Benjamin Bunny to keep with the Easter theme.
Congratulations

Congratulations

How about:

Gabriel
Seth
Cooper
Elijah
Jackson
Elliott

I like Joseph, shortened to Joe

Teddy!!!

Luke or Luca or Lucas
Jeremiah or Jerry for short
Aaron

Your names are much better. Congratulations on your new baby.
