Which name should we pick?

49 replies

Two weeks left until due date and still undecided on a name...

We're trying to pick between:

Leo
Max (or Maxwell)
Jude
Lucas

Middle name will be Alexander.

Which name should we go for?!

All good names. You can’t go wrong.
Jude Alexander might just pip it for me.

Whitechocpizza · 06/10/2021 20:27

I like Maxwell Alexander best.
Also like Jude but think it has a different vibe to Alexander and not sure they sound good together.

Rainbowqueeen · 06/10/2021 20:27

Jude is not to my taste but I love all your other choices. I’d wait and see what suits him best

DressedUpAtAnIvy · 06/10/2021 20:28

Jude

RavenclawsRoar · 06/10/2021 20:28

I like Leo

IShoveLula · 06/10/2021 20:31

I don't like Jude. Max (not Maxwell) is my favourite, followed by Leo, and Lucas is nice.

Which name goes best with your surname without including the middle name?

Datsandcogs · 06/10/2021 20:39

Alexander is my favourite, but if it has to be a middle name then I’d choose Leo or Max.

I think Maxwell or Jude sound best with our surname but the other names sound fine too. Our little boy is called Edward (nn Teddy). I think we're leaning towards Max and Leo being our favourite names.

Leo

Max Alexander is my favourite from your list.

You didn’t ask for suggestions, but … Luke Alexander?

@Datsandcogs I love Alexander too but just not keen on the nicknames Alex or Zander.

They are all good names
I'd go for Jude then Leo.
Max just seems a bit dull to me and Lucas is my least favourite.

DoodleBelle · 06/10/2021 20:41

I like Alexander best followed by Jude

Aquamarine1029 · 06/10/2021 20:43

I really dislike Jude, all of the others are great.

Sleepinghyena · 06/10/2021 20:44

Maxwell

bloominglovelyorange · 06/10/2021 20:48

Max and Leo are lovely

CoffeeRunner · 06/10/2021 20:48

I like Leo & Lucas best. Both were in the running for DD had she been a boy.

That said, Max & Jude are fine too. My only issue is that most Jude's I know are late middle aged woman not boys.

We seem to have some similar tastes, have you thought of Isaac?

What about Sandy or Sasha?

Comedycook · 06/10/2021 20:51

Like them all except Jude

YukoandHiro · 06/10/2021 20:52

I like Lucas Alexander the best as a pairing but Jude is my favourite name on the list. A lot of them about though

HerRoyalRisesAgain · 06/10/2021 20:53

Maxwell

@Datsandcogs I like Isaac but it has been vetoed by my husband!

I knew a Maxwell many years ago, love the name. He was always Maxwell too, never Max.

@AntiHop I'm not sure on those nicknames either but thank you for the suggestions 😄
