Strong boy names -SBCU

[Junebug22]

Hi everyone,

We had our baby boy on Thursday morning and while he was a lovely, (unexpectedly!) chunky 8lbs, he’s had to stay in the Special Baby Care Unit due to issues with his oxygen levels and “sleepiness” and has had quite a few tests done. We were already struggling to think of/agree on names but now that he’s here and having a tough time, I feel like he needs a “strong” name. My favourites throughout pregnancy had been Robin and Teddy and while I still love them, I just don’t think they suit him now.

Wondered if anyone has any suggestions? I hate that he’s in SBCU and only known as “Baby Surname”. It feels so impersonal when all the other babies have their names up on the board.

Thanks in advance!

congratulations, I hope little one is soon able to leave SbCU.

Ps congratulations and get strong little one!

Robert - it is strong and timeless. Got great nn like Robbie and Rob. It means 'bright fame'. My 2 went without names for about 3 weeks each, also known as 'baby surname' in the hospital and 'baby no name' at home. We took time to choose the right names for them. Take all the time you need to choose the right name for him - congratulations 💐

Gabriel - means god is my strength

Ethan - strong, safe

Wyatt - brave at war

Peter - the rock

You could give him a strong middle name and call him whatever you like as first.

Or Edward - good solid name - NN Teddy

I love Teddy but if he needs a strong name; things that come to mind are

Rex
magnus
apollo
leo
max
victor
vincent

orherwise a classic name is quite strong?

edward (could nn teddy)
jack
john
william
henry
george
david
thomas
jacob
Arthur

Edward Robin ( Teddy)

Dominic
Xavier
Christian

Victor, Vincent, Ray, Leo

Christopher (nn Robin)

Alexander

Saul

Congratulations hope he is home soon

Where are you? If in Scotland how about Lauchlan it means warrior
Ethan means strong
Phoenix self explanatory
Gabriel means strong
Drew means brave
Lenny means as brave as a lion
Louis means great warrior
Kane means hero
Wyatt means little warrior

Conrad - Brave Council

Kane. Fighter

Congratulations

Thanks everyone! These are giving us lots of ideas and a good distraction from all the worrying.

@clpsmum we’re in Scotland 😊

Edward. A good strong name and you can call him Teddy later if you wish

I think Edward too. He can be Teddy whilst he is little but has a strong classic name and other nicknames to choose from when he is older.

Yes I like Robert - V underused

Robin is a traditional nn also

congratulations and hope all goes well

Leonard (Lenny)

It’s my 5 year olds name. It means lion hearted. He’s the strongest, bravest boy and suits his name well.

Personally I see Teddy as a strong name.

Is after all for a bear! Plus they are often the rock and support of people who need them.

Edward with option of Ted or Teddy later?
