My son is 4 days old and he doesn't have a name.

Hello Mumsnet,

My son is 4 days old and he doesn't have a name. The only name I like is in the top 10 and that definitely seems like a problem. How much of a problem is it though? Does anyone have a child who has a top 10 name and could let me know?

Thanks

We didn't name ours until over two weeks!! He had a nick name that's it. Go with a name you like without worrying about popularity. At lease he won't have trouble with others pronouncing or spelling it!

Ds has a top 50 name. There will be another one in his reception class so he will be known by first name inital, meanwhile there are no children at all who have the two top ten names I rejected to avoid that situation ! I have also met girls his age with the name Olivia everywhere I go, none at all in his year. All depends on who you end up with so I would just go with the name if you like it!
