Short fat baby name...

Please help (lighthearted) 31 weeks with a boy. We had chosen Solomon but at a recent growth scan we have learned that baby is both short and fat. (AC over 97th and femur length 10th)

Solomon (would be Sol day to day) sounds like he should look like Jason Momoa but I now picture him in my head looking like Matt Lucas. Please help me find a suitable name.

DP is wholly set on Solomon though 😩.

Siblings are Kitty, Noah, Esme, Lulu

Other names I like are Gabriel, Sebastian, Jude

I think Soloman would be perfectly acceptable on a baby of any size/stature! To me is it "a lot of name" next to your other kids' however. How do you feel about Saul? A favourite of mine and I love it with your others. I also love Jude.

Theo is a good name for a solid boy!

Solomon is a great name as is Sebastian but I have a Sebastian so slightly biased

I can't help, but just want to say I love this post. Matt Lucas 🤣

Otto or Bob

But I thought you meant a fat name, rather than a fat baby!

grapewine · 22/10/2020 11:21

+1 for Theo

SleepingStandingUp · 22/10/2020 11:22

Lucas surely

ancientgran · 22/10/2020 11:23

Well call him Matt if you think that is what suits him.

passthemustard · 22/10/2020 11:24

@elfran you are right about it being 'a lot of name' and I feel like Sol is going to get confused for Saul along the way anyway... I feel like Jude fits well with sibling names too...

Augustus (Gus) like from Charlie and the Chocolate factory!

Although I love Solomon and my scans were SO inaccurate I wouldn’t believe he is a total dumpling until he’s out😂

passthemustard · 22/10/2020 11:26

@ancientgran I would call him Matt, but we already have a Matthew in the family 😂

I like Solomon!

Just as a side note, my baby's femurs measured right down on smallest end on the scans but when she popped out, she was a very long baby with long legs so I would say the scans aren't always that accurate.

passthemustard · 22/10/2020 11:30

@JumpingJamboree ooh maybe he will look like Jason after all 😂😂

I like all the names you have, but I'm voting for Jude because it's cool and no confusion over spelling.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 22/10/2020 11:44

Jude! because DH wouldn't let me have it with any of our 3 boys

passthemustard · 22/10/2020 11:52

Jude is more popular than I thought! I do love it.

Also like
Theo, Seth and Silas

Solomon would be PERFECT for a cute chubby baby who also, remember, is going to grow up into an adult and you have no idea what size he will be then.

RudeAF · 22/10/2020 12:38

Aw I clicked hoping to see a picture of a lovely chubby chops 😂
