Help! We can't name our baby boy. We've been disagreeing about this for months now, and he's finally here and we're still no closer.
So can I turn it over to you, wise Mumsnetters? To offer up your best suggestions and help us stop referring to him as 'the baby'.
Ideally we don't want any royal names, surnames as names, or American popular names like Grayson.
Surname is Chipp.
Thank you!

Congratulations he so beautiful ❤️.. I love the name Gabriel ( gabe) or Nathaniel he would suit either one of them 😀

MerryChristmas21 · 01/01/2022 02:37

He is gorgeous!!

He does look a bit pissed off at being called 'baby' though!!

Matthew

Andtheyalllookjustthesame · 01/01/2022 02:41

He looks like a Freddy to me

Rockmehardplace · 01/01/2022 03:33

I’d just call him gorgeous!

I like all your shortlist except for Felix as F Chipp in my mind just looks like it’s short for fish & chips.
Or Christian Chipp as it’s too much like crisps & Chipp.

Let us know what you decide!

Freddie is a great name!

Would avoid Christopher, as they will get shortened to Chris and then crisp chips , Crispy chips.

Felix Chipp sounds like if he licks chipp which isn't great

Still struggling, even with all your help. Thank you so much for all the suggestions and opinions though.
We're now down to Sebastian Chipp, Elliot Chipp or Cameron Chipp. I think. Confused
Which suits him best? x

Sebastian!

polkadotllama · 02/01/2022 20:17

From your shortlist I think he looks more like an Elliot

ProperVexed · 02/01/2022 20:17

Sebastian.

TabithaTittlemouse · 02/01/2022 20:18

Sebastian is lovely.
He’s very cute! Congratulations!

FallonCarringtonWannabe · 02/01/2022 20:20

Any if those. All great.

RockinHorseShit · 02/01/2022 21:24

Sebastian

Elliott doesn’t work at all - out loud it runs together really badly, the t gets lost because of the sound at the start of the surname - Elio / Elliyuh Chipp is what I hear.

Cameron Chipp - no. Chipp isn’t a comedy surname BUT it could sound a wee bit amusing if you add another element like alliteration. Cameron Chipp is a bit silly, like a cartoon character.

Sebastian is the best by miles. Long name sounds good with the surname. That or Felix would always have been my choice!

Bouncer500 · 02/01/2022 21:31

I don't like the shortlist but would choose Elliot out of the 3.

ffscovid · 02/01/2022 22:57

Sebastian (nn Sebie) really suits him.

MiniMaxi · 02/01/2022 22:58

Name that popped into my head was Miles

MiniMaxi · 02/01/2022 22:58

Oh late to the party, sorry! Congrats!

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 02/01/2022 22:59

I like James, Henry, Oliver, Alexander. Strong, classic can't really go wrong. He's very cute - congratulations!

gillybombilly · 02/01/2022 23:21

I’ve always loved Cameron - a really strong name in my opinion.
He is absolutely adorable, too - congratulations Smile

theremustonlybeone · 02/01/2022 23:24

He is gorgeous- would be Sebastian for me

Although I do like
Theo
Tobias (toby)
Henry
William
Hugo

FluffyPinkSocks · 02/01/2022 23:26

I love Tommy but seeing as you’re down to 3, I’ll go for Sebastian! I know a Sebastian who goes by Basti, it really suits him. Your son is beautiful, congratulations and good health to you all!
