Baby boy arrived today - no name, help!

[Missmonkeypenny]

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

Leo? 🥰 Congrats OP!

Congratulations, he's beautiful! I would call him Joseph

Theodore. Gift from God.

Love this.

Francis nickname Frankie

On our last baby list we had Rory, Casper, Sonny, Frederick, Ellis, Patrick and Arran for boys (had a girl in the end)

Cuthbert (Bertie)

Rory

Arlo
Reign
Issac
Elliot

Congratulations on your new arrival

As I thInk pp have said, Carol is technically a unisex name- there was a film director Carol Reed.
But to me, he looks like an Orłando. A beautiful baby anyway - congratulations

@Missmonkeypenny I keep coming back to oooooh at your lovely baby boy. Have you decided on a name yet?

Hope you are home with him and all the family.

Congrats! He looks like a Max to me

He’s gorgeous - Poppy, Reuben and Jack.

I love Toby, Elliot and Marcus

Lucas

Did you decide @Missmonkeypenny - I know you'll be really busy but in time would love to know his name.

Thanks all for your suggestions! This is Freddie

We tried out many of your suggestions and he opened his eyes when Freddie was said so it felt right and I think it suits him well. He's 3 days old now and has been discharged from NICU and is with me on the transitional care ward - hopefully it won't be too long before we can go home to his siblings!

He's amazing Op. I love that he (in effect) chose his own name.

He is absolutely gorgeous OP! A lovely name and glad to hear he's out of NICU

🤗 Freddie.

Hello Freddie, what a gorgeous boy you are! 😍 you're going to have a lively life with mummy,Daddy, Poppy,Reuben & Oscar

Lots of love from
One if your many Mumsnet Aunties xx

So Please tell mummy 'she did good!'

Hello Freddie, welcome to the world!

I hope you all get home soon, he's so sweet.

P.S. Thank you for the update, I love it when people come back and tell us what they've chosen. (Or what their baby has chosen as in this case!)

Freddie is so lovely

So nice that he's been discharged from NICU. Hope your recovery goes smoothly.

Gorgeous Freddie, welcome to the world. He is so cute.

Thank you for updating @Missmonkeypenny - keep well.

Thank you for updating and for sharing another gorgeous picture. It's funny the joy I get from a strangers announcement, so glad he is out of nicu.

Gorgeous both name and baby delighted to hear he is out of NICU hope you are both home soon
