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!!!

Lincoln? (not saying he was dubious)

Lovely baby! Your names are much nicer.

Names that might be inbetween:
Kit (Christopher on birth certificate)
Orson
Barnaby
Jude
Maxim
Grayson
Gus
Frankie

Or Theo

Pascal.

His hair is so handsome, thanks all

He smells beautiful too!

I like Wesley

Gideon is George Osbournes real name

Reuben!

I would use something closer to your list but slightly unusual towards his

Alexander - Sascha or Xander or Alexei
Benjamin - Benji
Daniel -
Edward (Teddy) - Edmund
Ethan - Alvin
Henry - Hendrix
Isaac -
Joseph -Joel
Kieran -
Matthew - Matthias or Matteo
Nathan -
Reuben - Rudi or Rafael
Samuel - Samson
William (Billy) - Wilfred
Zachary

He is just gorgeous! That hair

Raffety?

Different but nice! Your list is fab by the way :)

What about Edward nn Ned?

What do you think on Griffin? He suggested it

Thanks for all suggestions, I will run past him!

John, nickname Jack, is classier than Jack as a given name.

jaxon, just no. No.

Rowan nice but baby doesn't look like a Rowan. He looks like Dominic. Could call Dom or Nick for short.

Jesus? Christian? Christopher?

Joseph, nickname Joe.

Ash isn't too bad. Ashok. Asher. Ashley. not just Ash. Your husband seems to be into nicknames. Think of when the kid is grown up and in a profession or occupation.

Griffin is better than some of his other names bug still not as nice as your list

Congrats to you and your little Easter bunny ;) Your list is great, your OH's is terrible (in my opinion) apart from Ashley. I personally love Joe, Alex and Dan :P

My son's school crest has a Griffin on it so wouldn't be my choice. However your son is absolutely gorgeous! ! For him I was thinking
Noah
Nathan
Fraser

He's gorgeous.

Definitely prefer your list but possible compromises I would offer:

Deacon
Austin
Dexter
Asher
Zane
Jasper
Felix
Jonas
Harris/ Harrison
Spencer
Rafferty

Daniel (yours) Dante (his) - one of those nn Dan.

Although I love Saxon!

Thanks all for the suggestions.

I agree, I don't love it. I love my list I gave him 25 at the start and said he can pick the one! He didn't like any a few that you have mentioned were on my original list! Why is his choices so odd?

He is so beautiful! Congratulations.

Griffin makes me think of Nick Griffin, who was, until recently, the big boss of the BNP. Your list is lovely, his is And every time I read Jaxon, I think klaxon!
What about Bowie?

My DC1 looked so much like your baby (now nearly 15, not little and adorable any more!). He had the same hair.

He is Alexander Joseph :)

How about you choose the first name and then he can choose as many oddball middle names as he likes? Presumably the baby also has his surname so tbh I'd say it's your call.

Fwiw I quite like Griffin. Nn Griff is cool.
