Help - baby boy needs a name

My baby boy arrived over the weekend. We were hoping when we saw him, we'd feel inspired and his name would come to us. It hasnt! Not helped by the fact he's not very well and has been in an incubator so we have had limited time with him.

Please share your favourite boys names so I can read through the list when visiting later and see if anything fits.

Thank you 😊

Congratulations op, I hope you all get home soon. I see it's already been suggested but I love the name Max and I think it goes really well with Ruby.

Mammabearhudson · 31/03/2021 16:11

How about a name that means strong, brave or fighter? Theo, Leo, Ari, Milo are some suggestions but I'm sure you could search for names with those meanings.

If I had a baby boy tomorrow I'd call him Jared or Caleb. Probably Jared and shorten to Jed.

CoffeeRunner · 31/03/2021 21:53

The name I always loved but couldn't get past DH was Marcus.

If DD had been a DS3 she would have been Daniel James.

My DSs are Jack & Thomas. Both very top 10 but both mid 20's now and born before the height of popularity for the names.
