Yes or no? He's 4 days old Sad

Asa!!!!! (love it and it has marvellous potential for Ace as a nickname)

Spencer also good, unusual and cool.

Dominic is ok.

Rory is rather dull I think, a bit like Jonathan.

Too many Henrys in the world.

IhatchedaSnorlax · 24/04/2017 12:52

What a beautiful baby - congratulations Flowers.

Sorry but I agree with most of the others - Duane & Asa are awful names but I really like Rory & Spencer. There are tonnes of Henry's (& Harrys) around here. What about Ashton?

Congrats again - there's nothing at all that beats New baby snuggles! Enjoy!

Lemondrop09 · 24/04/2017 13:55

Dominic is nice and underused.

Henry is reasonably popular right now.

IntheBenefitTrap · 24/04/2017 14:05

I've never heard of Asa! How is it pronounced? I'm just seeing Ass.

YouBloodyWhat · 24/04/2017 14:07

It's pronounced Acer.

EnjoyYourVegetables · 24/04/2017 14:32

Also I have heard a softer "Ayza".

KatherinaMinola · 24/04/2017 14:36

I have also heard it pronounced Awsa.

ShoesHaveSouls · 24/04/2017 14:42

He's beautiful OP - way too beautiful for Duane.

I like Rory and Dominic. Not keen on Spencer. Neutral on Asa.

Congratulations Smile

IntheBenefitTrap · 24/04/2017 14:44

Thank you - like the laptop Smile

I'm not a fan of either tbh but it's your baby - don't worry about what other people think.

Thepassionfruit · 24/04/2017 14:47

What kind of name is Asa?!

Gorgeous baby. Looks like a Rory or a Henry to me :)

ShotsFired · 24/04/2017 14:47

The only Duane I have heard of recently is the Dog the Bounty Hunter.

So it certainly has an angle to it.... Grin

Duane???
YouBloodyWhat · 24/04/2017 14:51

What kind of name is Asa?!

It's an old testament, biblical/hebrew name.

Garnethair · 24/04/2017 14:53

That is one handsome baby! Rory suits him perfectly.

hollyisalovelyname · 24/04/2017 15:15

Duane Reed- a drugstore chain in USA

TheChineseChicken · 24/04/2017 15:20

What about Ace? I think it's a cool name if you have the guts to use it

MakeItStopNeville · 24/04/2017 15:21

He's absolutely beautiful, whatever you call him! Congratulations.

Lemonnaise · 24/04/2017 15:27

Wow, most beautiful baby EVER Smile

Rory is lovely.

Foldedtshirt · 24/04/2017 15:55

He is gorgeous!

hollyisalovelyname · 24/04/2017 18:06

Your baby is gorgeous.
Rory or Dominic for me. Both lovely.

Puremince · 24/04/2017 18:35

Georgeous baby!

In order:

  1. Rory
  2. Dominic
  3. Asa
  4. Henry
  5. Spencer
  1. Duane.
backtowork2015 · 24/04/2017 21:48

Beautiful boy! I like Dominic

Adarajames · 25/04/2017 00:32

Duane is great - if you're a stereotyped red neck, trailer dwelling American survivalist type who shoots any government agent on sight! Please don't do it to the poor child!

Only Asa I know is female.

Rory is sweet (even though I know an irritatingly self opinionated one!!) go with Rory Smile

GreatFuckability · 25/04/2017 00:36

I really love the name Asa.

Nickynackynoodle · 25/04/2017 01:03

Asa gets my vote. Beautiful baby.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 25/04/2017 01:16

I like Rory but he looks like an Arthur to me. Maybe even Art for short one day.

He looks gorgeous and squishy :)
