My c-section is next week and we still don't have a boys name

Help us please! Smile I started a thread ages ago asking for help choosing between Eloise or Georgia for a girl, Eloise was the clear winner and DH and I have decided that's the one we're going with.

However, we don't know what we're having so I'd like to settle on a boys name, or at least have a short list by the time baby arrives (I know we have a bit of time before registering baby but still)

We like George and Sebastian, DH semi-jokingly suggested Felix and I actually really like it. He thinks it's slightly pretentious but I disagree.

So that's the short list so far: George, Sebastian, Felix. Our eldest is called Ruby.

What do we think of these names? Open to other suggestions please. Thanks

I like all of them on your list, Sebastian is my favourite (and I think Ruby and Seb sounds great!), followed by George, with Felix my least favourite though it’s still nice.

Good luck!

Out of those 3 I like George the best and goes really nicely with Ruby.

DogsAndGin · 30/05/2022 16:33

George

Like some pps, I don't like George, though there's nothing wrong with it. I've never liked it. I like Sebastian..and Tristan. Ruby is lovely. I do think of cats when I hear Felix, but also I think happy, as per its meaning. I like it.
Like a pp's suggestion of Caspar.

Seems there's quite a variety of opinions here which is nice Smile I did show all the other suggestions to DH and he didn't really like any of them, he has quite particular taste, but I've really enjoyed reading though them and considering them all so thank you

Several people have commented that Sebastian is nice but Seb is not - I've had a bit of a think about this and while I'll probably use the full Sebastian, I don't mind if other people shorten it to Seb. It's also DH's favourite from our list so we'll probably go with it

Eloise or Sebastian is arriving tomorrow
