Help! -baby here and don't know what to call him!

[user1471547122]

Lovely baby boy Is now here! The trouble is I seem to find myself disliking all the names we had on the shortlist now....

I love the name Rowan but we already have a Rose- is this too similar? If it is too similar what on earth else do we call him?!

Wow what a stunning baby!!
Congratulations!!

I like Keir, it would suit him too I think!

Fraser is great, also Joseph.

He is absolutely beautiful, congratulations OP, lucky you ! 💐💙🍾

Such a beautiful baby - your pic has made my evening! He looks like Lucas to me.

Welcome little one!

What a gorgeous boy! Makes me incredibly broody!! I think he looks like a Joseph.
Congratulations!

He's scrumptious - how about Marcus?

Aaah congratulations gorgeous boy. I immediately thought of the name Seth, then saw a pp had suggested it. Also Jacob.

Congratulations! He's gorgeous. Of the names you suggested, I think he would really suit Keir or Joseph.

Thanks all! Helped me feel more positive about this naming business. Bit worried about popularity of Joseph, although I know it shouldn't matter....

Going to try some out on him over next few days to see which one sticks!

Omg he is soooo BEAUTIFUL! yes capital letters needed!! Joseph is lovely and he could be Joe or Joey? 😍😍😍 congratulations

He looks like a Fraiser to me!

Gorgeous well done!

Go for rowan! You like it, do it! As an adult (which is the vast majority of their lives) they don’t be judged by how similar their names are to their siblings.

Jonas?

He’s gorgeous. I quite like Rowan and Rose even if they’re similar.

Joseph is gorgeous.

James
Henry
Arthur
Benjamin
Charles

Got it down to 2 but keep going round in circles now! (DH sadly doesn't like Rowan enough to use it...)

So, help me decide from:

Joseph -too common? Will there be 3 others in every class he is in?!

Or Fraser -will it constantly get mis pronounced/ comments about sitcom Frasier?

Any help appreciated!

Joseph. Love it.

But only if you don't mind Joe!

Joseph/Joe - very, very common plus lots of female Jos too.

Fraser is very sweet. I don't like Rowan for a boy.

I only know 2 child Josephs, one is 10 the other is 1. So not 3-in-a-class common.

But I think Fraser is a great name. His peers won't have a clue about Frasier - I know now it's about your peers but as a PP said about similarity for most of their life it will be about his peers. So that gets my vote.
He is absolutely gorgeous - congratulations!

I know a lowan?

Fraser is lovely. And your boy is just beautiful!

Joseph is lovely, what a Handsome little chap he is, congratulations

Joseph definitely. It suits all ages.
Plus Joe is a great nn. If he prefers.
Yes Joseph is popular, but. Its not faddy.
Really don't like Fraser at all. Very dated.

Congratulations- he's gorgeous! Love his little button nose!!

I think that Rosie and Rowan are too similar.
Rose and Jude sounds lovely! And like Fraser too!
