Week old boy with no name!

[Pleasedontdrawonyoursister]

I was convinced we were having a girl (remember the ‘Honey’ thread!)? Anyway baby arrived and it’s a boy! We have narrowed down a few names, hubby wants something ‘normal’ whereas I would prefer him not to share a name with multiple other boys at school.

Austin
Jaxon
Arlo
Hunter
Buddy
Noah

Thoughts?

Of the above I really like Noah and Austin and Arlo are ok.

Congratulations by the way!

Favourites from your list are Noah and Austin.

Austin!

Such a lovely but underused name, I like Noah to but it’s far too popular for me.

Congratulations on your little boy!

I like Arlo, Austin and Noah from your list but I think Noah is very popular so that may put you off.

Noah and Austin

Not Jaxon (looks like a typo and don’t like the sound) and I wouldn’t go for Buddy or Hunter either. The others are fine.

How about Jason? I don’t know any little Jasons so think it is relatively unusal at the mo while still being a name that isn’t too out there.

And congratulations!!

I liked similar names to you and DP and I chose Dexter for our son. We love it! People can spell it and pronounce it but it was #80 or something on the list of most popular names so not common. We haven't met another one so far!
Congrats btw!

How about Austin Buddy?... I think that's a lovely combination of your names and Austin isn't that popular.

Arlo

Congratulations on your new baby boy

My opinions

Austin - it's a nice name, though I prefer the spelling Austen in a bid to Jane
Jaxon - please spell it Jackson. It's an ok name. I prefer just Jack
Arlo - nice enough but there are a few in my area under 2
Hunter - too surnamey for me
Buddy - great as a nn but needs a full name. Also makes me think of Buddy the Elf
Noah - lovely and my favourite of your suggestions but also the most popular

Jaxon and Noah are like the old Mark and Richard around here, too popular

I love Hunter, and only know one!

Arlo, Austin or Noah.

How about Sonny, since you liked Honey?

Noah

Austin!

Congratulations!

Noah is my favourite but probably not the best pick if you don’t want him to be one of many. So I’d go with Austin.

Love Austin! It was my godfather's name and he was such a character.

Noah is ok but don't love it. Sorry don't like any of the others.

Please don't call him Jaxon. Jackson if you must.

Noah is beauts!

Arlo is the name of the dinosaur in the good dinosaur.

Austin or Noah. Congratulations ❤️

All of your names are quite popular in my area, although I don't know of any Hunter's, so if it's originality you want that is the one I would go for.

Although I prefer Austin or Noah.

Austin or Arlo from your list.

Austin - ok
Jaxon - very chavvy spelling. If you have to use it, spell it Jackson. Jack/Jacob are far nicer though.
Arlo - ok
Hunter - very American
Buddy - awful. You're naming a person, not a child. Can you imagine a solicitor or police officer called Buddy? You would be limiting your child by giving them this ridiculous name.
Noah - lovely

Austin or Arlo.

Don’t use something like Buddy, what if he wants a professional job one day?
