4 day old baby boy with no name

[Moonshine160]

I gave birth to a beautiful, dinky 5lb little boy on Monday afternoon a few weeks early, so we hadn’t yet settled on a name and we’re still struggling to choose one for him. I hoped I would see him and know which name was “the one” but none feel right. His older brother is called Reuben. Please can you give your opinions on the following names and give any suggestions for us?

Names on our list:

Jasper
Maxwell
Edwin
Joel
Jacob
Toby
Sebastian.

Names we like but can’t use:
Ezra, Eli, Archer, Joshua, Oscar, Isaac.

Thank you. :)

Tobias NN Toby

Congrats!

He is lovely. Your name choices are great. I had a fair few of them on my list and ended up with a Sebastian. Jasper would be a close second for me.

I like pp Casper. Have you tried out any names on him?

Congratulations! I really like Jasper, Maxwell and Joel but I do think Joel goes with Reuben the best.

Jasper is my favourite

When I started the thread I thought Jasper, but by the end, I really love Toby or Tobias. I think he looks like a Toby and it goes so well with Reuben. Toby is a cute yet still strong name.

My sister has a dog called Reuben. Her other dog is Cooper, so that might be a shout! 😂

@Moonshine160 Congratulations!

Joel Maxwell (surname)

Not a fan of Toby or Jasper as they seem more like dog names.
I like Sebastian with Reuben.

Rowan, Jasper, Tristan.
If you are wanting something more mainstream Maxwell is top twenty I believe.

He is adorable!! I think he looks like a Jacob. Congratulations!

Congratulations!! He is beautiful!

He looks like a little Edwin to me.

Eddy for a nickname perhaps.

Reuben and Edwin also fit nicely.

But I'm sure whatever you decide upon will suit him just right 😊

@BergamotMouse me too! It’s a beautiful name, so elegant and good options for shortening.

Congratulations OP, he is stunning. I think he looks like a Jasper personally.

We have decided on Jasper Maxwell (one syllable fairly common surname)

We think it really suits him but some older family members have raised their eyebrows a bit!

He is gorgeous !!!

I'll rearrange my eyebrows if I can have a cuddle 😃

Older members of family will always do that. My grandmother has over ten great grandchildren all with supposedly 'weird names'.
Most of them are in the top twenty.
Honestly that generation would be happier with Gary, Brian or Ian. I don't think much of their taste. (Sorry if that's anyone's name, but they are dated!)
Anyway congratulations op, it is a nice choice.

He's gorgeous! Congratulations! Looks like a Toby to me 😊

You have chosen well. Lovely name. Congratulations

Jasper

Jasper and Joel are lovely. I know one of each in their early twenties and always think such nice names.

Just noticed yiu’ve chose. Lovely name.

Tobias - Toby for NN

Some suggestions:

Alvin
Judah
Rowan
Soloman
Caspar
Leander
Micah

I'm not keen on Maxwell. The rest are lovely. Congratulations

He's beautiful OP congrats! I think he looks like a jasper x
