Still on the hunt...

[Kaboomba]

I'm now nearly 32 weeks due a little boy who will be boy number 3! We are really struggling with names.

Some names we like are

Artie
Max
Gus (hubby hates this 😩)
Archie
Teddy

We are particularly drawn to names ending in the 'ie' sound. We don't want a long name as middle name and surname are quite long.

Thoughts on above names and can you suggest anymore?

I love Artie!
Sonny?

Love Artie, Archie and Teddy!
Rex sounds like a dogs name to me, sorry.

Also I hate it when people go for a longer name on the birth certificate but want to call their child the nickname. If you prefer the nickname just call them that officially 😊

Ashley?

Love Rex
I don't think people will think you copied Stacy it's well enough used now
Fearne cotton also has a Rex
I would never assume anyone copied her either, just a nice name

Axel ?

We like Arnie but hubby's friends dog is called that lol!

My 2 faves are Rex and Rufus, hubby likes Artie best.

Archie was on the list but Megan and Harry have ruined it for us recently lol!

Hubby has said no to anything that can be shortened to Gus, no clue why he has such an aversion to it I did say Angus (we're Scottish) or Fergus but that was a big fat no lol!

I love Rufus - a quirky but underused classic. Rex is a cool sound, but I'm not sure I'd want to risk the dog comments so I personally prefer similar Lex. Artie is quite cutesy imo and also blends into all the other popular Archie's/Alfie's for me so I think it might date.

Brodie? Henry? Magnus?

Love Rufus, such a fab name.

@tigerbread20

We are going for Arnold, nn Arnie. It's dropped so far off the common name lists you might not have considered it?

That’s actually lovely, would never have thought of that 😍

Show about

Finley
Stanley
Charlie
Albie

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks Rex is a dogs name?

Artie is lovely. What about Remy? Raffy is nice too.

Louis
Cary
Henry
Stanley
Harley

@sammylilac- I was going to say I know a dog called Rex.

So we still haven't decided and we're now 4 weeks out 🙈

It's been narrowed to two

Rufus and Teddy

Place your votes please!!

Teddy is an undignified name for a grown man & there are 100s at the moment so I'd go with Rufus.

Edward NN Teddy

Frankie
Billy
Archer NN Archie

Teddy as in Teddy bear 🧸? That's cute for a baby. I'd call him Edward, Thaddeus or Theodore.

Rufus is nice and I also like Rex and Quinn.

Rufus. It's a fab name.

Rufus definitely - quirky but classical and suits all ages. Teddy is a really sweet nn on a little boy, but I find it a bit cute sounding on an adult personally (also it's likely that a fair number of the Edward's and Theodore's in the top 100 are known as Teddy, so overall it may be quite popular).

I dislike both but Rufus is the least bad. Teddy is ridiculous!

Lol don't hold back folks

Teddy might be the front runner, as despite the negative feedback I still love it!

Well you love it. For a baby. He might not appreciate being called Teddy as an adult? He has to live 60 years + as a grown up. He won't be a cute ickle toddler for long.

Give him a grown up name and call him Teddy as a kid. Then he can choose when he's older.

I get this and that's why I've not 100% set on it, but I do figure he could go as Ted when he is older. I really don't like the long versions for Teddy so wouldn't go with any of those.

People on here can be so harsh 🙈 Ted/Teddy is nice. Would you go for Teddy on the birth certificate or Theodore? I’m going for a nickname name but think I’m just putting it on the birth certificate because the full name isn’t as nice as Theodore

Rufus is a great name.
What about Rafferty?
