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

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? Confused my offer was Hugo - I thought that was an amazing compromise! He doesn't like that Confused

I'm struggling massively SadSadSad

He's adorable Smile

Sorry, another post!

Just thought of Benjamin too?

tinypop4 · 13/03/2017 21:30

He is gorgeous! What about Hugh? Less 'posh' than Hugo but still solid and a bit unusual.
Also I've got one and he's super cute Wink

He could totally be an Eddie. I love that name.

I really feel for you!! It's even harder to choose a name when you're under time pressure! I think stick to your guns and wait for a name you both love!

This website above is fab and might help! She has heaps of inspirational lists of baby names in different genres.
She also can help you to pick a name if you decide you want 'expert' help!

Your baby is absolutely delicious btw!!
For what it's worth I think he suits Elliott or Isaac or Hugo.

Other ideas....
Elijah
Samson
George
Joseph
James
Gareth
Michael

In my opinion Montgomery/Monty is definitely not a strong name!! It makes me think of thin, weedy, posh, stuttering men that wouldn't say boo to a goose!!!

Montague is a good compromise and has a nice literary connection!

TheNameIsBarbara · 13/03/2017 22:18

I love Rupert, Hugo and Seb.

Have to say it - your baby is ridiculously cute. That photo of him is just gorgeous! He will be fine with whichever name you choose.

BabyBoy2017 · 13/03/2017 22:20

Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions.

What do you think of Robert?

gaaahhhh · 13/03/2017 22:23

Elijah? Its a little like Elliot.

NO to Montgomory. I just think of the Simpsons and Mr Burns!!!

Samson or

Sebastian?

NoCapes · 13/03/2017 22:23

No to Robert
That's an ugly middle aged mans name
Not that beautiful squishy boys name

gaaahhhh · 13/03/2017 22:23

Xpost Ruth!! Same taste!

gaaahhhh · 13/03/2017 22:25

Robert and call him Bobby! Cute! (or was there a bobby in EastEnders?)

Nospringflower · 13/03/2017 22:25

Robert is terrible!

capercaillie · 13/03/2017 22:26

I like Robert and Robbie is cute. Robin also a lovely boys name.

He doesn't look like a Monty. I'm not sure about Elliott. Like Edmund though.

Congratulations - he's a gorgeous baby!!

TwentyCups · 13/03/2017 22:27

I think he might be an Isaac.

NoCapes · 13/03/2017 22:27

Samuel?

WankersHacksandThieves · 13/03/2017 22:27

He's not a Robert. I'd don't have too much objection to it as a name in itself, but he's definitely not a Robert.

Pleasejustgetdressed · 13/03/2017 22:27

Sebastian/Seb
Nathaniel/Nate
Alexander/Alex

KarmaKit · 13/03/2017 22:27

Robert with Bertie as a nickname is lovely! I think he looks more like an Elliot or Isaac though, sorry!

BabyBoy2017 · 13/03/2017 22:30

Haha okay Robert isn't popular then! I like Isaac, OH isn't keen Sad

Barnaby (Barny)?

wobblywonderwoman · 13/03/2017 22:32

What a gorgeous baby!! He is amazing. Little sweetheart Grin

I am going to offer Jude, Theo or Joseph.

Wishing your son a long and happy life Flowers
