So baby arrived, he was always a "Leo" bump but when we saw him I said doesn't look like a Leo and so now we aren't sure?!?

Other names are

Myles
Rupert (Ru)
Gus
Henry

Middle names are William Andrew

I do like Henry but it's very traditional and his siblings aren't super trend but aren't traditional either, we have a max, Maicey and Ava.

Think we've almost left it too long now and nothing is sticking. Considering going back to Leo and hope he will grow into it?

Help..... or any other suggestions? Don't like too modern or names that people can mess with so wouldn't have Thomas as might get called tom or tommy etc.....

Help!

Personally, of those names, I like Henry or Leo best.

moredoll · 31/08/2018 21:07

Henry. Or Harry.

mycatthinksshesatiger · 31/08/2018 21:09

If you like Leo what about Theo? Henry gorgeous too! Congratulations Smile

CorianderSnell · 31/08/2018 21:09

I like Leo! Especially with your other names.

However I do know what you mean about not fitting the name. DS1 really didn’t fit the name we had top of list, and really glad now we changed it.

What kind of character does he seem like???

PS - dc3 we hadn’t decided within deadline; phoned the registry office and they were fine to push it back a few days, so you might have more time than you think, although I think the longer you leave it the harder it is!

Aprilshowersinaugust · 31/08/2018 21:10

Henry goes better with the others.

Nacreous · 31/08/2018 21:10

I like Henry, Leo, or Theodore shortened to Theo.

Joinourclub · 31/08/2018 21:13

I think Leo works the best.

AdaColeman · 31/08/2018 21:13

I like Myles and Rupert best.

Petalflowers · 31/08/2018 21:14

How about Leonard, nn Leo?

Like Rupert the best in your list.

Other names:
Leon
Tristan
Hugo
Samuel
Tobias
Theodore

Airaforce · 31/08/2018 21:14

Leon instead of Leo.
Leon William Andrew sounds like a solid name.

Icklepup · 31/08/2018 21:15

Henry is best.

Rufus
Luca

YerAuntFanny · 31/08/2018 21:15

How about Reuben instead of Rupert?

A bit less formal but still not particularly trendy, fits in with siblings and flows quite well with your middle names.

PeggyIsInTheNarrative · 31/08/2018 21:18

If you like Rupert what about Reuben?

MrsJFKtb · 31/08/2018 21:20

His licks face if that helps name?!?

We have a Henry and an Aidan and Luke. With Luke we didnt decide until the day of registration and with Henry he was meant to be Kit! We liked William and we have Robert and John as middle names.

Good Luck

moredoll · 31/08/2018 21:25

Felix

And it makes Leo more appropriate.

strawberrypenguin · 31/08/2018 21:26

Aww he's lovely. I think he looks like a Henry

bridgetreilly · 31/08/2018 21:32

Gus! I love Gus.

tomatosoup1 · 31/08/2018 21:37

I think he suits myles

AdaColeman · 31/08/2018 21:47

Gus would be fab if it were short for Augustus, and so appropriate too!

Flamingosnbears · 31/08/2018 21:53

Miles

Sunflower321 · 31/08/2018 22:02

Rupert or Myles! Congratulations.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/08/2018 22:03

Would you be willing to post a picture, so We can see what name he looks like.

bigfishlittlefishtupperwarebox · 31/08/2018 22:14

Oh he's definitely a Henry or a Gus I reckon. He's just scrumptious Grin

AnElderlyLadyOfMediumHeight · 31/08/2018 22:18

Gus goes best with the other dc's names. My personal preference is Leo.
