Ooops, start again!

I can't keep calling him baby boy, he needs a proper name.

Our shortlist is Benedict (Ned), Jasper, and Alexander, but none seem quite right.

What does he look like to you?

He looks like a Benedict or Alexander to me Smile Gorgeous baby OP. They always take a while to grow into their names IMO- all names look huge on tiny people but they soon make them their own!

Hugo
Arthur
Louis
John

Oh my, what a gorgeously chonky face. Congrats!

He looks like an Edward or an Angus to me.

Alexander - a timeless international classic and then he can be Alex, Alec, Lex, Sandy, Sasha, Xan, Xand or Xander depending on what suits him as he grows up/what he wants himself. I do like Benedict too but that's more limiting and you'll have to call him Ned from Day 1 or he'll likely get Ben. Congrats btw!

(Eddie or Gus)

adeleh · 26/08/2021 01:37

Oh, he’s gorgeous. He looks like a Nick or a David.

WolfFleeceSpotter · 26/08/2021 01:39

What about David nn Dave? There aren’t enough Daves about, everyone knows and loves a Dave.
Ditto Steves, Marks and Andys.

virginfannyornaments · 26/08/2021 01:42

He looks like a Benjamin to me. But Benedict is ok shortened to Ben. I love this name

Fl0w3ry · 26/08/2021 01:58

Alexander or William.
He's gorgeous, congratulations.

Kanaloa · 26/08/2021 02:00

Alexander for sure. He has a strong facial expression that I think suits Alexander! I wouldn’t go for Benedict if you want him to be called Ned, I wouldn’t say Ned is a natural nickname? I think Ben would be more common from Benedict.

GinasGirl · 26/08/2021 02:05

He's an Alexander! Congratulations on your gorgeous new addition 💐🥂

Hellotoallmyfans · 26/08/2021 02:07

He looks absolutely gorgeous that's what! Congrats!

He looks like he needs a strong name to me as he's going to be a little bruiser:
Bruce
Henry
Magnus
Angus
Bruno
Rory
George
Jonah
Leo
Bryn
Cameron
Hector

I like Benedict best out of your names.

Anthony
Or maybe Tobias or Jude.

Benedict.

Shortened to Ben, not Ned, which is a Scottish term for a Non-Educated-Delinquent.

messybun101 · 26/08/2021 02:56

He's a Ben!

WaterIsBest · 26/08/2021 02:58

William was the first name that i thought of when i looked at him

ClemDanFango · 26/08/2021 03:05

Squishy Mcutie cheeks.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2021 03:18

Those cheeks. 😍😍😍😍. I just wanna bite them.
He looks like a Jimmy to me

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2021 03:19

He's definitely not an Alexander.

OverByYer · 26/08/2021 03:25

He’s gorgeous but not an Alexander
Ned would suit him
Silas?

OverByYer · 26/08/2021 03:26

Thanks for showing a photo he is lush

HonorHiding · 26/08/2021 04:03

He’s clearly a Ben!

LiveSimply · 26/08/2021 04:06

Gorgeous!
How about Samuel, (Sam?)
