I have a very gorgeous 6 week old little boy but he doesn't have a name :(

[BabyBoy2017]

He is 6 weeks old tomorrow and we do have an appointment to register him but I am crossing my fingers that I'm able to change it.

The issue is that we just can't agree. My favourite name is Elliot but he doesn't like it and his favourite is Montgomery (I had never heard of this name before I met him). He seems to like really over the top 'posh' names? my offer was Hugo - I thought that was an amazing compromise! He doesn't like that

I'm struggling massively

I would register as Elliott

Elliot is nicer imo

Could have Montague nn Monty but probably not any better in the poshness stakes.

Marcus
Lucas
Thomas
Timothy
Daniel

Maxwell
Sebastian
Ambrose
Charles (and my favourite abbreviation, Chas)
Edward/Edmund (and my next favourite abbreviation, Ned)
Alec
Alistair
Patrick

The poshest men/boys I know are called Philip, James, Will, Tim and Steve!

If my DD had been a boy she was going to be called James. Also like Michael and Joseph.

What about Eddison ?

Christian
Dominic
Edward
Xavier
Theodore/Theo

These aren't exactly my 'faves' but trying to go for what you're describing!

If this helps you sway DH - my mate has a bounding springer spaniel called Monty that insists on humping everything in sight.

Gorgeous names coming up. Maybe just agree to select from this thread to reduce the choice? Hopefully they'll be one or two you both love. Good luck

Also, Oliver- you could call him Ollie/Olly and your husband could stick to the full name. If you don't mind a very popular name.

I love Elliot and Monty

Charles (Charlie)
Edward (Eddie, Ted/Teddy)
(For names with nice man)

James, Henry, Will, Toby for non shortening names.

Yes, I agree with StruggleAvenue, Monty is a dogs name.

Oh god, both my sons' names have come up here, as has my brother's. We really are not a posh family, I promise!

How about Lloyd? Or Laurence?

Montgomery makes me think of star trek as it's Scottys first name not sure how many people would make that connection but some would as it's unusual

Mortimer?
As a previous poster suggested all posh people are called Tim

Ralph?

Any pics to help??

Cassian/ Cassius
Jago
Lyle
Kester
Roan
Theodore/ Theo

Elliot is lovely, but I'd struggle not to abbreviate and Ellie isn't great for a boy. Makes me think of ET though, which is good.

DH thinks most of these aren't "strong" enough (Edward, James, Oliver, etc.) I like them all. What a stupid comment!! They're strong names!

@hooties yes! I have a great pic to show. It's my absolute favourite picture in the world.

Edmund is a fabulous name OP ⭐️

Elliott is my favourite boys name. If I have a son he will be Elliott James.
Elliott Montgomery has a nice ring to it though.

Or... Edwin, Sebastian, Alexander, Fergus, Charles..

He is beautiful!

Aww, what a beautiful little baby, adorable he is !
I think he suits Evan.

He's gorgeous. Just get an extension on the registration. It's fine :-)

Beautiful picture!
