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!

I can't see him 😪

I think he could be a Leo! If that's the name you really liked from the start I would just use that one. He will look totally different in a few months anyway. Leo's a cracking name!

I wouldn't go with Myles, because then you'd have 3 'M' names and Ava might feel left our

*out

He looks like a Toby to me!

Of your suggestions I'd go Henry, I think it goes fine with siblings. The other names are all perfectly fine names though so I don't think you can go wrong with any.

He's gorgeous by the way, congratulations!!!!

I’m sure he’ll grow into Leo if that’s your favourite. It’s a great name and babies change so much so quickly, he’ll soon make it his own.

I also love your other names, though. Myles or Gus seem to suit particularly well.

Mumthedogsbeensick · 01/09/2018 08:31

He looks like a Ross to me! Ross William Andrew sounds perfect

Oh boo I can’t see the photo Sad.

I love Gus (Fergus on the BC would be my preference, but Gus is also fine on its own. One of my absolute favourite names!

I also really like Rupert and Miles. Felix nice too.

Henry

Aprilshowersinaugust · 01/09/2018 11:35

Ain't nothing little about those gorgeous cheeks!!
Still Henry imo!!

PeggyIsInTheNarrative · 01/09/2018 21:04

Ooh just saw pic. He is lovely. He will grow into Leo or Henry or Gus.

Good luck

Rupert

MummyItsallaboutyou · 02/09/2018 07:50

Gus! I have a gorgeous one (always called Gorgeous Gus by his teacher). I have never regretted the name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/09/2018 18:53

Definitely Leo, he'll grow into it.
Many congrats, he is totally adorable.💐

Rebecca36 · 02/09/2018 18:59

Gus is short for Augustus. I like Augustus and would call my son Gus.

Rupert is nice.

I love William and Andrew. Have you thought of Jeremy or Nicholas? Both timeless names and neither would embarrass your boy as he grows up.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 02/09/2018 20:47

He's beautiful OP!

I'm going to say Myles ( but prefer Miles spelling ) as I think it goes well with your other DC's names.
