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?!

Another vote for Joseph here, it was on our shortlist a few months ago, we had it for his middle name in the end. I like old fashioned classic names, Arthur was another on our shortlist too. I sometimes think we should have picked Arthur. It took us 3 days after he arrived to pick a name, boys names are tricky. Rose and Arthur sounds nice though Smile good luck deciding.

Joseph is not that popular - it's just outside the top 20 and isn't a name that's on the rise, year to year. There won't be three in his class.

If popularity is the only thing holding you back, go for it I reckon!

Lovely name for an utterly munchable baby. I think he would suit Hungry Caterpillar as a baby nickname...mmmn!

Congratulations.
