We like too many names - which is your favourite?

[APolishFamily]

He's 3 days old it's really sad to just keep calling him 'baby boy'!

• Aleksander (with the nickname Aleks or Olek - which do you prefer?)
• Aron
• Artur
• Benedykt
• Bruno
• Emil
• Iwan
• Izaak
• Jakub (with the nickname Kuba)
• Olaf (not good in the UK?)
• Oskar
• Teodor

Middle name = Gabriel thank you very much.

Aleksander with Olek as nn.

Congratulations!

Benedykt Gabriel.
Would you not consider Gabriel as a first name

Any of them work for me. Good list.

I really like Kuba.

Or Bruno or Benedykt.

Congrats x

Bruno. But all of them are lovely.

I might be tempted to avoid Olaf for now because of Frozen.

Congratulations!

I love Gabriel so much I can't choose one of the others, sorry!

I like Gabriel best too!!!

My vote is for Jakub

They're all lovely - but I particularly like Bruno, Artur and Kuba (Jakub). I'd probably avoid Olaf although it is a really nice name.

Another vote for Gabriel

Gabriel.

Bruno is a really great name, also like Benedykt and Jakub. And Emil, in fact! I guess it depends how anglicised you want it to feel?

I think it depends how much you would be bothered with people spelling them differently ? (I'm presuming from your Olaf comment you are Polish, but living in the UK?)

So, Aleksander is lovely, but it will be spelled Alexander (Alex) by almost everyone when they first go to write it, and then the same applies for a lot of the others too - you'd get

Aaron
Arthur
Benedict
Ivan
Isaac
Jacob
Oscar
Theodore

Now - if that is fine with you, then I like lots of them, but if you want to avoid that, then one of the others would make more sense, probably.

Aleksander, Bruno and Oskar are my favourites.

I love Bruno (also the easiest for English people to spell if that's a consideration!)

Jakub or teodor

Congratulations!

I think Teodor is fab - nn Teo or Ted, depending on how much you want to Anglicise it.

Gabriel's lovely too, and probably works best in the UK in terms of people getting spelling and pronunciation right.

I don't like Bruno or Olaf; the others are OK but he will spend his entire life correcting spelling and pronunciation. (admittedly Teodor woudn't be without it's problems on that score, but I've just slightly fallen in love with it )

Ooh, Benedykt is a great name!!

Aleksander or Benedykt - I have Gabriel as a middle name for DS2 but wish I'd held out for it as a first name!

Artur Gabriel or Bruno Gabriel

Love Bruno!,
Congrats btw x

Jakub, because that's DS's friend's name and he's lovely

It's a nice list of names, you can't go wrong really.

A lovely set of names, so it's hard to choose! I think Artur Gabriel just edges it for me. And congratulations!

I like Izaak myself.

I wish Gabriel Benedykt was an option...

I like Bruno and Emil.

I love Emil
