He's gorgeous but none of the names we liked seem to fit him. Middle name is Strachan.

He has loads of thick dark hair, and a really round chubby face.

I have no suggestions but he is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations Flowers

He's super gorgeous. Congrats. Smile

Do you have any criteria? Do you care about popularity? Any particular origin of name you're after? Might be able to give you some ideas then.

PostTruthEra · 13/01/2017 08:37

Robin, Francis, Rowan, Joseph or Jophiel.

He's lovely! Congratulations. Flowers

Not too fussed about popularity or origins. We had picked out Caleb and Elliot, but now he's here they just don't feel right. We're in Scotland and ds1 and ds2 both have relatively common names. Top 50 for their birth years, both rose to top ten names the following years.

I think he suits Caleb of the two you've picked.

But I thought he looked like a Reuben when I saw him.

Or an Edward. Smile

KatnissMellark · 13/01/2017 08:52

Oooh, Rowan is nice. I thought he looked like a Gordon but then read middle name Strachan Grin

Congrats, he is gorgeous!

Alexander

Samuel

Robert

He's stunning!

MiniMaxi · 13/01/2017 09:24

My first thought was Alexander

Gorgeous, congrats!

Horseshoe1 · 13/01/2017 09:24

I'd say Caleb suits him but how about...
Jacob / Jake
Lucas
Max

WankersHacksandThieves · 13/01/2017 09:25

Keir.

Patienceisvirtuous · 13/01/2017 09:26

Thomas
Theo
Leo

WankersHacksandThieves · 13/01/2017 09:26

I meant to add that Keir means dark so is very fitting.

JournosAreLazy · 13/01/2017 09:27

Congrats - he's a little cutie.

What about:

Magnus
Gregor
Luca
Gryffyn

I think Caleb suits him though :)

Chelazla · 13/01/2017 09:27

I lovvvvve Elliot. Super cute bubba by the way!

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 13/01/2017 09:28

Reuben! He is lovely congrats

PinkBunnyOnesieOnOrder · 13/01/2017 09:31

Congratulations 💐 He is gorgeous xx

I think Caleb is a great name.

Personally, I don't think newborns suit any real name, they seem far too small for such a big thing! Still more suited to peanut/bean/button etc which aren't exactly 'Lawyer' names 😬

He will have it for life, no huge hurry to decide, if others are pressing for a name tell them to STFU be patient & you'll let them know when you've decided.

I can just about smell him from here...mmmmm

TurboTheChicken · 13/01/2017 09:31

Rory, Rufus or Digory.

Joinourclub · 13/01/2017 09:31

Rory

Anyhoooo · 13/01/2017 09:32

I came to say Elliott! He's totally gorgeous, enjoy him whatever name you choose.

UnderTheGaydar · 13/01/2017 09:36

Wilf

He's a beaut!

Forkrightorf · 13/01/2017 09:47

That child is clearly a Max Smile
Elliot is lovely too, why have you gone off of it?
He is absolutely beautiful, congratulations Flowers

MollyHuaCha · 13/01/2017 09:50

Beautiful baby. I think he could be a...

Julian
James
Alexander
Marco
Henry

Enjoy him!

TheresAlwaysTimeForTea · 13/01/2017 09:52

I love Caleb. That's on our list. I think Reuben is great too. Congrats OP! He's a beauty!
