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!!!

Arthur - Art, Artie (could also be Archie but can't see him going for that)

Cedric - Ced, Ceddy

Was one of his suggestions Willoughby? That's a good Real Name and can be shortened to Will. I'd grab that before he comes up with anything else.

Your husbands choices are amazing! Great ammunition for jokes in the future. Bless. I like Noah best from your list!

We are both English! I suggested Fletcher, which I would never pick, but was a compromise, he isn't having any of it!

Aidan?

OP - congratulations, he's absolutely gorgeous, and I love his head of hair. My daughter (almost 9 months) was born with a similar head of hair, so I know the shock!

I would happily put your DH in touch with my cousin, who was named Tucker (this is back in the US of A), but who has long gone by his middle name of Daniel. There were only so many times he could put up with hearing "Tucker, Tucker, Mother Fucker" at school. Definitely one to avoid!

Congratulation on your gorgeous boy!

I'll suggest a few I don't think are on here just in case one fits the bill...

Harrison
Cassius
Clement
Lucas/Luca
Mason
Elijah
Logan
Josiah
Aiden
Cole
Finlay

Was trying to find ones that were in the middle- hope it helps!

OP. My DP thinks you're trolling and that no man could possibly be this obtuse. HTH

Oh, and in that same vein, he suggests Baby McBabyface....

I really like Lawrence!

I like Luca, Cassius, Asa and Ezra !?

He is an absolute beaut.

What about Heath or Dashiell (Dash), kind of his vibe but not so nobbish? 😁

Haven?

I quite like Devon too, is it in regards to the famous cricketer?

He likes Mason

Congrats op he is adorable :)

I've never seen such different name styles!
I find it hard to believe you can compromise with him.

Aside from being arty- has dp have any reasons for such strange names?

What is dp's name? Could you incorporate it in some way? Or a family member who has passed away? Clutching at straws now but really feel for you...

Don't feel rushed to name your son.
I have an Oliver who is 13 and had an 8 year gap. Dd is now 5 and we had agreed on a name years ago.

If she had been a boy then we may have been in a similar situation.
My names were Caleb, Oscar, Joshua, his were Jenson and Sebastian as he's a major formula one fan
Seriously though i would have got my own way ( somehow )

Good luck x

Dashiel is nice. I used to have a boyfriend called Dashiel nn Dash.

What about Graydon or Tyler as middle ground names?

If he likes Mason, does he like Nathan?

Jeez!!! Did he hog the gas and air or something? Those names are largely just wayyyyyyyy OTT. Having said that I do like surnames as names. Love fletcher. Griffin is ok Griff for short. Brodie and jack? Meh. Harrison? Scott? Morgan? Dylan? Frankly anyone who proposes oak as anamr rules themselves out of the race. Did that baby come out of your fandango or his? Whoever it was gets to choose.

I can't have Tyler, it's too similar to our last name. No he refuses to have Nathan

His name is Lee!

I'll keep at it, thanks all and I'll be giving him the suggestions x

Dexter?

Maxim nn Max?

I think he looks like an Axl.

Mason is another occupation

Hang in there green. At one point, DP suggested Giacamo, as in Casanova, for the son that would be Ewan.
