Name my baby - two weeks nameless already

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.

Dylan Joseph or Joseph Dylan.

Velvian · 26/06/2020 09:06

Joseph. There are so many Dylans and Oscars. There's more to work with with Joseph too.

Dullblue · 26/06/2020 09:13

I have a baby Dylan ☺

Others names we considered:
Milo
Oscar
Dominic
Toby

Disfordarkchocolate · 26/06/2020 09:15

Joseph is my favourite from your list.

How about Matthew, Marcus or Lucas.

Congratulations by the way.

shall we know what you chose? Smile

Runnerduck34 · 26/06/2020 10:28

I like oscar and Dylan, not as keen on Joseph.
Just make a decision!!!
Honestly very quickly they will grow into their name and it will feel like the best most natural choice in the world. Look how it goes with surname, initials etc then make a choice and stop dithering!

Baby McBabyface, surely?

Prettybluepigeons · 26/06/2020 10:38

Oscar.

Actively dislike Joseph and Dylan. Dylan is a naughty boy name.

MikeUniformMike · 26/06/2020 10:40

Of the three you've listed in the OP, I prefer Joseph by far. I'm not keen on Oscar and I dislike Dylan.

redwoodmazza · 26/06/2020 10:42

I like all three of your possibles, OP.

Some of the other suggestions are a bit dodgy!!! Smile

whywhywhy6 · 26/06/2020 10:45

I like Jagger and Dexter.

DanniArthur · 26/06/2020 11:16

Out of your list Joseph is also my favourite. Joey is such a cute nickname on a baby/ child!
Some of my others with a similar feel that you may like:
Nathaniel /Nathan
Daniel
Benjamin
Adam
Vincent
Declan
Nicholas

Gregory isn't so prevalent as Oscar.

IagoWithABlackberry · 26/06/2020 12:14

Joseph's nice. Dylan's alright as well.

Owen
Luke
Patrick
William
Thomas

Prettybluepigeons · 26/06/2020 12:22

Show us a picture of him so we can see what name he looks like.

Owen Owain

Quizeerascal · 26/06/2020 13:12

All nice names though my fave by far is Joseph. Other ideas could be,

Otto
Felix
Frederick
Jacob
Joel
Benjamin
Reuben
Isaac
Patrick

JordanWIlson · 26/06/2020 13:15

I think Oscar is best!! Lovely name x

Spidey66 · 26/06/2020 13:27

I like Dylan and Joseph best from your options. Joseph possibly has the edge because I think is less likely to date. I don't have strong feelings either way on Oscar. Don't love it but don't hate it either.

autumnkate · 26/06/2020 14:17

Joseph is beautiful

Alwaysundecided · 26/06/2020 17:20

Joseph is my favourite from those names. Little Joey.

Ellmau · 26/06/2020 18:12

I like Oscar the best of your list
