Names for our little boy!

We're so stuck with names for our little one!

Definitely into more unusual names and this is what we're considering so far:

Nico
Astro
Otis
Bryson
Grey
Remy

Tend to prefer shorter names as you can see, welcome thoughts and ideas!

I always loved Nico.

My boy is Max as i prefer short names too. Ellis and Eli were top runners for a while too.

Jed and finn were also considered

FluffyEggsontoast · 18/09/2020 13:49

Love Otis

How about Otto or Cole or Griffin (Griff) or Axel

Or "Sid"

LuckyFlash · 18/09/2020 13:49

Really love Nico, Otis and Astro! Otis is at the top of my list but I’m worried how popular it’s getting

MummyShark97 · 18/09/2020 13:49

Lovely suggestions!

I am sweet on Nico but DH is less convinced about it, rightly a hard business choosing a name!

Astro?

MummyShark97 · 18/09/2020 13:51

@LuckyFlash Ouh I'm glad you said about Astro as it's probably the one we've agreed on most but also the most unusual so feels a little daunting to go with it!

@FluffyEggsontoast I love Axel and Cole too!

Astro just makes me think of Astro turf

I like Nico, Otis and Remy

user27378 · 18/09/2020 14:26

I'm not keen on Bryson but love the rest. Especially Astro and Nico.

What about:
Atlas, Orion, Jesse, Sol, Saul, Digby, Rex, Osian, Caspian.

Tweetypietwo · 18/09/2020 14:30

Reece
Jude
Cole
Quinn
Jack
Chase
Miles
Wyatt

MummyShark97 · 18/09/2020 20:56

I love Astro and Bryson. Other names I love and you might like (we considered all these for DC1)
Bodhi (this is is his actual name!)
Zephyr
Milo
Reef

AdelaidePlace · 18/09/2020 21:21

Like Otis from your list.

Also ( read that back and thought I'd suggested 'Also' as a name😂)
Otto
Leo
Felix
Art
Luca

Wonder how many 2020 mumsnet DS's will be named 'Also'😂

BeaverTail · 18/09/2020 22:37

I like all of them except Astro (which I associate with a space-whale from an obscure Pinocchio sequel, the dog from the Jetsons and the Astro Boy franchise).

BeaverTail · 18/09/2020 22:54

Oh there was a smurf called Astro too (a spaceman smurf).

Basically it's a tropey name for cartoon characters in outer-space settings.

AdaColeman · 18/09/2020 23:04

Jago
Erik
Lake
Nevis
Carlton
Rolo
Kester

Sawyersfishbiscuits · 18/09/2020 23:06

Flynn
Silas
Milo
Rex
Theo
Eli

Cecelori · 19/09/2020 02:24

Remy I love this name but I know for some people it's not the most traditional
Nico-nice name
Otis sweet don't mind alot of dogs have the name however
Bryson don't like but don't hate
Grey hate now bc of eastenders sorry
Astro just no

sorryforswearing · 19/09/2020 02:39

Quite like Remy although I don’t think I’d chose it myself. I like Miles more, Guy and Louis.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 19/09/2020 08:26

Micah
Otto
Ezra
Amos
Indy
Owen
Ellis
Bram
Drake
Heath
Noel

Dawnlassie · 19/09/2020 22:02

On second thoughts Astro is a great name.

You are designing a computer game right?

BikeRunSki · 19/09/2020 22:09

Jed
Rex
Otto
Alec

Of your list, I like Otis

VenusClapTrap · 20/09/2020 22:21

I really like Nico.

How about Gene?

Robs20 · 20/09/2020 22:29

Love Nico! I have a 4 month old Otis and know of 2 other babies with the same name. It seems to be getting really popular.

Marmite133 · 21/09/2020 07:52

I think now that most high schools have an astro turf there will be a weird association. When astro turf was more unusual it wouldn't have been an issue. But kids can be mean.
