I'm going to have a nameless baby.

[Paie]

I'm due in just over a month, most days DP & I discuss baby names and make no progress whatsoever. He's rubbish at suggesting but quick to say no to the majority of my suggestions.

I like a list of about 10 names, he's vetoed them all bar 2. I'm not really fond on these either.

The two names that haven't been vetoed are
Miles
Victor

I need a timeless name, that's not common now, but not too "unusual". Something your granddad might have been called.

This is probably my 3rd/4th baby name thread

Time is ticking and I'm afraid my poor little man won't have a name!

Anthony
Kirk
James/jim/Jamie
Alexander
Wylie
Lucian
Thomas
Henry

Maybe go Gaelic or Welsh?

We're due a wee man in just over a month too and decided on middle name first and first name last - only thing to point out is can it be corrupted?

So our wee man's initials with be for example ZJS - can't corrupt that lol.

Hope that helps at all

Francis.
Thomas
Douglas
Richard
Michael
James

Why not wait until he's here to decide what he looks like? I had a list for my first born and when she arrived ended up going for something we'd never even considered!

Quentin

I also like Victor though

Why not wait until he's here to decide what he looks like?

Does a baby really 'look like' a Steve, a Jack or a James? Don't all babies look pretty similar?

Wilfred
Robert
Rowan
Francis

Giles

Edmund

Ragnar

Horatio

Celtic names may be the way to go, e.g. Rory, Angus, Finn, Fergus, Iain etc.

Try saying names out loud in a sentence too to see how you feel about them, eg. Miles come downstairs, did you have a nice day miles, can you give miles his bath

I found it helped me decide if I liked a name or not saying it in contexts that it would be used in day to day rather than just looking at the name on its own.

Congrats on your pregnancy
How about:
David
James
Dylan

Miles is nice

The only Victor I know is 71, and has never liked his name.

Curtis.
And for the record, my dgm had a ddog who was called Nameless!!
He was a stray and dgm was adamant she wasn't keeping him she wouldn't give him a name.

Lived til he was ancient!!

I didn’t have a name until I was over 3 weeks old. I’m fine.
You have ages! Don’t panic.

My grandfathers were Cyril and Herbert if that’s any use! We had a few Victors though in the family tree too.

Joseph is classic and Jo is a nice nickname for a wee bit (and a big one)

Henry

Albert

Alfred

Alfie

Milo

Fredrick

Harrington

Marshall

Edward
Arthur
David
Edwin
Adam
Benjamin

Miles is nice. Victor makes me think of Victor Meldrew or something off the adams family sorry

Dont worry too much, when baby is born you may both take one look and The Name materialises.

Classic boys names i love IMHO - Joshua, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Dylan

Wait until you meet the baby. There is no rush.
Dc1 and dc2 were both a month old before they had a name, we wanted to get to know them and I find big decisions hard
Grandmothers were a bit at the time, but soon got over it.
Dc3 was had a name at a week old - speedy!

James, David or Michael are all classic.

I prefer Miles to Victor.

I have an Isaac, I think it's a great name, but the I would

Vincent?

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend just had a baby Miles, so it might get a little more popular.

As an aside, hate the name. Reminds me of the most arrogant boy at the (private) school I attended. Thought he was better than everyone else because of his family's money.

Milo
Fergus
Gus
Ivor
Eric
Flynn
Peter

I keep seeing people say Fredrick on MN, and it's not, it's Frederick.

Also, OP, Sebastian?

Stanley
John
Alfred

Why don’t you print off two copies of the top 200 names (or say numbers 100-300) and separately go through with a highlighter and pick the ones you like. You never know, you might end up with the same. I’d find this easier than just having to come up names off the top of my head.
