Name my baby - two weeks nameless already

[DulcetMoans]

We really should name this child we created but we just can't seem to find the name that fits. Current favourites are:

Oscar
Dylan
Joseph

But can't commit. Any favourites or suggestions? We still look at new names most days.

At least the registry offices are closed anyway so no rush.

Good advice @4amWitchingHour - I agree, you are often told a name will just "feel right" but that never happened for me. Just pick on you like and give a middle name so they have a second option if they want to change later in life (unlikely I expect!)

Oscar - love
Dylan - love
Joseph - love

My favourite is probably Joseph - very underused these days

Suggestions

Barnaby
Nathan nn Nate
Laurence nn Laurie
Sidney nn Sid
Caleb
James
Peter (very underused these days)
Christopher nn Kit
Wilfred
Otis

I like Joseph, but dislike Dylan. Here are some more names:

• Ambrose
• Jude
• Edmund
• Julian
• Soren

Francis or
Frankie

Ellis, Magnus, Malachy, Campbell, Xavier, Murray
Liam, Michael, Fraser, Hugh

I really like all of your names. Order of preference would be Joseph, Dylan, Oscar but they’re all good, strong names.

Love ellis !

Ivor
Seth
Lawrence
Stanley
Elliot
Owen

I have a Joseph, we call him Joe, friends call him Joey, I got to know him a few days before we decided
My daughter was Chloe for two weeks But it just didn't suit her, my friends thought it highly amusing that we changed her name just before she was registered, it has to be right, you will know when it is.

love all of your names. Joseph would be my favourite, second would be Dylan. good luck choosing (from another who's struggling lol)

Go with Joseph!

I like Oscar.
I have a Milo never met another Milo.

Dougie was on the shortlist for DS.

From your list I like Joseph best (also Joe/Joey).

If Joseph isn't quite right then Joel is also lovely.

When I read your list, Hayden came to mind as an alternate.

Congratulations on your little boy and hope you find a name you love soon.

If you don’t have strong feelings about particular names, you could just go traditional and name him after his grandfathers or (if you have them) godfathers.

Joesph!

Nice nick names too

I live Joseph, mostly because I love Joe & Joey. Congratulations xxx

What bugs me about the name Joseph is where we are there are a couple of pronunciations and I only like one.

1. JO-seff (heavy on the Jo, which is short)
2. Joe-siv (drawn out Joe, very definite v sound at the end).

I hate no.2

Another one for Joseph!

From your list Joseph.

Alternatives:
Jacob
Dexter
Fredrik
Isaac

I'd go with Oscar - my eldest DS is Oscar and he's kind, creative, an avid reader, awesome artist, has a brilliant sense of humour and is extremely handsome (IMHO) in case that helps

Dylan, most unusual. Can we have a photo? Just to see if he looks like a Dylan?

I love all your names and also Jamie (James) and Ellis.

Dylan is massively popular where I live, I know 8 or 9 all of a similar age.
Joseph is ok, bit boring.
Oscar is nice.
