So my DS is only 8 weeks old and I knew what his name would be as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I'm not planning on a baby this side of 2019 but I can't help but think there isn't a single name I like/would be able to use.

I like:

Austin
Reuben
Rupert
Casper
Matilda
Indie/India

My DS is Rex. What other names might I like on the basis of these!?

I'm struggling with boys names too. Rupert and Reuben are nice - Rupert is my DH's name. It's hard to find any I like but names we both like are really difficult to identify!

I like Austin and Matilda.

They're all nice names but nothing jumps out at me! I do love Rupert or Reuben but they're names of nephews. Maybe I'll just have to stick to the one child Grin

I do love Atticus but not sure I'm brave enough!

Congratulations. I like Rex.

Your list:
Austin - Powers. No.
Reuben - Sounds a bit weak. NN Ruby. No
Rupert - The Bear. No.
Casper - Caspar? Film Ghost or one of the 3 wise men. Not sure
Matilda - 'Oh god another one' type name
Indie/India - Newspaper or sub-continent. Not sure

Atticus is a great name! On a similar bravery level to Rex, I.e. not too outrageous at all.

ForFuckSakeSusan · 05/01/2018 17:04

Mike thank you! Haha I love your responses! I think I’m destined to just have the one child or a nameless second!

We're approaching Matilda, though.

Abigail and Tabitha can't be far behind.

Atticus is awful. I love TKAMB but absolutely came close to Atticus Finch apart from the wonderful Gregory Peck.

Why did you choose Rex?

ForFuckSakeSusan · 05/01/2018 17:36

Chose Rex because it was the only name we both loved. I know I’ve got ages to think of other names and I’m sure I’ll come across some but it’s driving me mad!

The Rex I know has siblings called Otis and Olive.

ForFuckSakeSusan · 06/01/2018 09:55

I love Clara! Definitely adding to my list! Not so keen on Otis and have an Olive in the family. I quite like Felicity now too so if the next is a girl we’ll be fine!
