Help - struggling with pnd and baby has no name

Title says it really. DS is 2 weeks and has no name and I’m really finding it difficult. Have severe PND - I’ve been here before and I am getting help. He doesn’t sleep unless being held and I’m beside myself with tiredness.

Really want to decide on a name before Christmas.

We’ve been mulling Aidan, Arthur, Charlie, Henry, Rory (though DH doesn’t like Henry). Looking for two syllables or more. Feel in such a fog and terrified of giving him the “wrong” name.

He doesnt like henry and you dont like Ben so they are both crossed off the list. Thats easy enough.

Out of the remaining names i qould choose rory or aiden. Because i cant pronounce my 'th s' and arfer sounds awful.

I shortlised DDs name by yelling it loudly and imagining calling it across the park. If i sounded like a fishwife it was chucked off the list.

Just wanted to send Flowers
Hope things start to get easier.
It's so hard and no sleep is horrendous.
Glad you reached out for help. Really hope you find a name you like!

Rory!

I like Aidan. I think the name Rory is getting too popular.

If it's good enough for Benjamin Zephaniah (I read that that's what his nearest and dearest call him) then it can't be all bad!

I love Arthur and Rory and like all the others, although I like Harry better than Henry.
