Starting to worry

[Babyboymama]

My baby boy is due on Tuesday and we have no name ideas for him at all! We were never going to name him before he was born because I want to see his face first but I thought we’d have a few favourites and just pick one but we’ve got nothing!

Did anyone else have this problem?

I’m also really worried we’re going to name him and I won’t like it because nothing seems to sound right!

Are there any names you kind of like?

Please dont panic and just rush into picking a name last minute. Some babies dont get given names for a week or so. (and some even longer). Obviously its not ideal, but better than picking a name you might regret).

You dont give an indication as to whether you prefer traditional names, modern names, unique names etc.. so I will just throw a mixed list out there for your consideration.

hope this helps. Good luck 😄

Forgot Jordan

Don't worry! Took us 3 days to name DS. He looked nothing like all the names we had on our shortlist. Ended up with a name we had never considered and it suited him perfectly. Good luck, it'll come to you once you see his little face

I like more traditional names, I did love Arthur right from the start but my boyfriend really isn’t too keen so that ones off the cards unfortunately 😔
There’s a few others I like which are

Oliver
Freddy
Edward
Theodore/teddy
Henry

These are the only ones I like but none of them sound like my baby’s name, if that even makes sense..

Are there any 'family' names you like. A favourite great uncle or something.

Ted short for Edward, Edwin or Theodor is great!

How about working on a middle name to start you off then adding in a first name.

How about James or Jasper as a middle name?

Didn’t think about starting with a middle name - might try that! Less pressure than the first name😂 I do like James too so will definitely consider that

Jude
Alexander
Tobias
Sebastian
Patrick
Christopher

I like James and Edward. Don't worry, you've got weeks after he's born to make a final decision.

Max? Harry?

Joseph

Alexander James
Joseph James
Joseph Arthur

Thank you all for your suggestions.

@moredoll how long do you actually have before you have to register the birth?

Think it's 6 weeks in England and Wales, 3 weeks in Scotland.

Thank you, 6 weeks is a lot longer than I thought so I can relax a bit now!
