Baby boy arrived today - no name, help!

DS 2 arrived this afternoon by EMCS at 34 weeks. He's doing really well but we have no name for him and I'd really like him to have one ASAP - it just feels a bit disjointed that he doesn't.

I've included a photo for you - any suggestion welcome! Siblings are Poppy and Reuben. Surname is 2 syllables, beginning with a B Smile

I think Storm or Barra should be in his name, maybe Barra as a middle name, most children love having a story with their name.

I thought of Thomas when I saw him, but also like Casper or Joseph

Congrats on your baby! But are you honestly asking random people on the forum to name your baby? You can’t be for real?:)

I’m still amazed how people think a baby looks like a particular name :) it makes zero sense whatsoever. A baby will look like ANY name you give him/her! All newborns look the same (and format that!) and they will be fine with whatever name parents chose. Congrats OP on your gorgeous boy, please pick a name yourself, it doesn’t make sense to be asking random people of internet to name your baby:)

I came on to say Oscar or Isaac but I see you've already said you can't use those. He looks like a George to me though having seen the photo. He's beautiful, congratulations to you Thanks

Congratulations! How about Caleb or Colby? :)

Zandathepanda · 08/12/2021 12:17

Gorgeous little boy. All I would say is not a T name as the initials would be TB.

Blake, he's gorgeous!

Congratulations!

How about Quentin? Poppy, Reuben & Quentin.

I agree that babies don't look like a name Grin

I'm all about the 80s names

AthenaPopodopolous · 08/12/2021 12:41

Name him after the Doctor maybe?

FrasierCraneDay · 08/12/2021 12:42

Congratulations Thanks
Rory or Leo, he looks like he's roaring like a little cub Smile

SoapySnowflake · 08/12/2021 12:43

Just came on here to say a huge congratulations and please don’t feel rushed. Take all the time in the world you need. Bring him home for a few days, get to know his little personality. A name will come naturally. Just announce ‘our precious baby boy has arrived’ then sit back in your bubble and see what suits him.

Bram would be perfect. Congratulations on such a gorgeous baby.Flowers

@elisemum they are obviously asking for people's suggestions to see if a name is suggested that they love. It's what the ba y name threads are here for!
