Which stars are you naming the baby after?

Teacaketotty · 24/05/2020 20:53

Rico is nice, honestly not really keen on any of the others.

BikeRunSki · 24/05/2020 20:55

I live Idris, not bothered either way about the rest.

MikeUniformMike · 24/05/2020 20:56

Idris - elba. Welsh/Arabic
Emilio - estevez. Emilia too popular
Rico - His name was Rico, he wore a diamond
Mathias - Matthias. 2 pronunciations

BikeRunSki · 24/05/2020 20:56

I’ve met 1 Idris (Welsh) and I Mathias ever.

TeaAddict235 · 24/05/2020 20:58

Idris will inspire all school staff and academic staff to love him!

I'd call someone to an interview in Chem Eng with that name!

Go for it!

arickitupyourpompom · 24/05/2020 21:00

I know a few Mathuis' in Germany pronounced Mat-a-us how else would you pronounce it ? I don't like any of them

Midnightdream · 24/05/2020 21:04

@MikeUniformMike only know Elba, would not put me off.

No idea about the others think I'm too young(under 30 lol)

We have the same taste in names! LOVE Idris and Mathias, not as keen on Emilio or Rico.

iamthankful · 24/05/2020 21:11

Where I'm from, Idris is a muslim name. I know so many of them, more than 50...

Of all that you listed, I prefer Mathias

YeOldeTrout · 24/05/2020 21:12

I don't know anyone with those names. Idris Elba is a famous actor, right?

SionnachRua · 24/05/2020 21:14

I love Idris. Emilio is nice but there are so many Amelias and Emilias now... obviously those are for girls but it would put me off.

Not loving the other two.

EastMidsMumOf1 · 24/05/2020 21:17

Idris with variations of Adris/Adrees/Idrees I know alot. Very common Muslim name.
Mathias only knew one, my dads old manager.
Rico, only know one but short for Ricardo.
Emilio never known any!

One way I've found out if I like a baby name or not is to keep referring to bump in that name and say it often if its starts to sound weird or I cant feel myself calling my child it out loud then it's off the list! Smile

Midnightdream · 24/05/2020 21:18

@iamthankful it's also welsh Smile

@EastMidsMumOf1 I have gone through too many names, I'm on the verge of tears over a nameBlush

I have my scan on Wednesday. Gut feeling says a girl but I need to options if it's a boy.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 24/05/2020 21:21

TBH I don't like any of them

But you need to choose what you like not random ppl on the internet but I really hate Rico due to bad experience with a black labrador.

apapuchi · 24/05/2020 21:22

I love Idris, know one who I've known since childhood... he's late 30s now.

Rico I only know as short for something e.g. Federico. It means rich or delicious/tasty in Spanish. Not keen.

DamnYankee · 24/05/2020 21:25

Rico makes me think of "Uncle Rico" from Napoleon Dynamite.
Great movie. Character was cringe-worthy

Flymetothestars · 24/05/2020 21:31

Idris is my favourite- adore it! Met one cool little chap with this name and fell in love with it!

Flymetothestars · 24/05/2020 21:31

Your other names I hate sorry!

Blursula · 24/05/2020 21:36

I don’t know anyone with any of the names. Really like them all except for Rico. Matthias is lovely but will get shortened to Matt which ruins it a bit for me!

elfran · 24/05/2020 21:47

Love Mathias. Also love Mattias, Matthias, Matias, Matteo, any variation is gorgeous.

whatausername · 24/05/2020 21:52

Idris - like.
Emilio - okay, not my style.
Rico - i reeeeeeeeeaally don't get the appeal. I just think of some 2-dimensional gangster in a Z-list movie.
Matthias - very nice, travels well. Prefer ma-tie-uss to ma-tay-uss pronunication but it is still nice. Pronunciation not really an issue, takes 2 seconds to correct someone if necessary.

Don't get upset over names - you don't even know the gender yet! Focus on something else for a while. :-)

Midnightdream · 24/05/2020 22:11

I picked DS1 name at 15 weeks(frantically searching for girls name just incase). I find out in 3 days.

Mathias is unusual here, I've never met one.
