Hey Becks, what a gorgeous picture! He's adorable! I actually really like both those names (not helpful). Or how about Zachary or Joshua? Caleb? Robert? Lucas? (Although I may need some of those back in a couple of weeks - we haven't decided yet either...)

I like both names.

I think he looks like an Alexander nn Alec.

Alexander Reuben is a nice name.

To me he looks like a little Edward . Congratulations

Thank you for all the suggestions. Looking at him last night when he was fast asleep I thought he looked like a Sam. DH hasn't said no!!! We were also thinking about Patrick yesterday but not so sure today.

I love Samuel and Alec.

Sam is a lovely name. Strong, sociable, calm and thoughtful, is how a Sam seems in my head. (No reason, that's just what the name makes me think of.) And Samuel is a nice long-form too.

Samuel/Sam is lovely.

I prefer Alec, it's easier to pronounce in foreign languages because the spelling is closer that how it sounds.

(Also Reuben is the name of a type of toasted sandwich in the US)

Congratulations op! What a cutie! To me he looks like an Aaron. Good luck!

Bluesand1 · 26/06/2016 20:24

We liked Samuel but went with Ethan in the end
Great name

libellule1 · 26/06/2016 20:28

I like Sam/Samuel a lot! How about Tobias or Nicholas

Just a little update, we finally settled on Benjamin John. DD has already nicknamed him Benny! Thank you for all your suggestions. Smile
