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!!!

How about:

Morgan
Austin
Aaron

I actually like the suggestion of Devon from your DH's list. Griffin is pretty good too.
Andre, nn Dre, is bearable (Dr. Dre's first name is actually Andre).

How about:
Arne
Magnus
Marcus
Tyrone
Lincoln
Denzil
Hadrian
Conan
Titus
Jago (Cornish for Jacob)
Morgan
Dexter
Tymon
Merryn
Grey (used in Scotland as a first name)
Laurence/Lawrence
Hartley
Huxley
Aubrey
Cyrus nn Cy
Wulfstan nn Stan (or Wulf!)
Cees (Dutch, pron Kayys)
Stefan
Florian
Tybalt
Urban (the name of many popes)
If you have to go double-barrelled, stick to Mark-Anthony!

What about Kai, Lewis, James, Tadgh ( tigh) Oisín, Liam!

Lovely baby, congratulations! I like Alexander, several short forms to choose from: Alex, Sandy, Zander, Lex etc.

If you and he have different surnames I wouldn't automatically agree that baby has his. Stop talking about it for now and just enjoy your baby. He's lovely!

I've been lurking on this thread (gorgeous baby, congrats!) I think Cillian would suit FWIW.

Crying at the inception suggestion - hilarious! And so funny that your DP thinks he named DS 4fingers

There was a little Hector in the playground the other day it sounded perfect.
Griffin and Phoenix are not bad, I prefer Griffin but maybe that's because having lived in Wales I knew a few.
There is a Rocco in DS's class which has really grown on me and he is a sweet little boy too.

He'll have Rubio, NN Reuben, but not the other way around

What about Spencer?

Dre??? Is he into rap?

Congratulations! I had a baby born on Easter Sunday (a few years ago now!) We couldn't agree on a name for a couple of weeks, so I feel your pain! He was very nearly Alexander, but it really didn't suit him, so we went with Joshua in the end. Dp chose the awful middle name

These may have already been suggested

Logan
Jenson
Ayrton
Ashton
Cody
Ray
Gregory
Hudson
Jamie
Jason
James
Jacob
Jordan
Kyron
Kai
Shane

Is your H usually a controlling bully? Does he realise what he is doing?

I honestly can't believe that someone who is normally nice can be such a twat.

He'll have Rubio, NN Reuben, but not the other way around

Start to play his game now, OP. Tell him you won't have it the other way around, so that's your last offer, or you'll both end up with a name you hate.

Reuben, NN Rubio. He'll be called by the name your DP prefers EVERY DAY, and have something you like on the birth certificate. If he won't go for that, he is being a knob of the biggest proportions and just in some strange power struggle with you.

Cassius
Timon
Caspian

I like Griffin though also.

Griffin Rubio Alexander Surname

Does he know that Rubio is a far right Republican presidential candidate in the US?

I hope you get a day of all bonding together with yourgorgeois baby and leaving naming aside.

Your names are much nicer, stronger, timeless, classless. You gave birth. He has poor taste. You win. Congratulations

Not even slightly helpful but have you considered Harvey?
Your little man was born on Easter Sunday and Harvey is a rabbit's name.

He's seriously never like this, but "now there's someone more important than" me... Which I'm glad he loves his son more, that's what I want! But to start being a dick about his name is pathetic.

DS is getting DH's dad's name in the middle anyway... (He's having 2 middle names, because I have more hope of getting a nice enough name)

I feel like telling him he can poke it! I'll give him my dad's name in the middle instead (who has actually passed away)

I think you should give both Dad's names not just one, especially as your dad has passed way. Oh OP why don't you have a serious talk with him, tell him how you feel and that he is spoiling this lovely time. Can you talk to his friends, family to try to get this to see that you are right.....which you are imo.

Well if he is saying his son is more important than you that is fine but that also means your son Is more important than him to you so just name him, announce it on FB and be done with it!

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned it.

He was going to have the name George in there, for his dad (so yes, 2 family names!)

Honestly, George is quite nice, just a bit overused... Which is why I didn't mind, it's better than anything he wants!

My dad was Victor and IMO, isn't as nice as George!

So, Daniel Victor George or Daniel George Victor. I prefer the first.
Tell him that's it.

And he can choose the name of the pets.
