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. :)

Congratulations on your baby boy

I was thinking the other day that you never hear baby Matthew's anymore, which is a shame as it's a lovely classical name, that I find quite a handsome name. Maybe one to consider?

From your list

Jasper - it's a nice name
Maxwell - love it
Edwin - nice but maybe a little hard to pull off
Joel - nice, though I actual know a few baby Joel's so maybe on the rise
Jacob - I really like it but dislike Jake which seems inevitible
Toby - love Tobias but not Toby so much
Sebastian - lovely, my second favourite of your choices after Maxwell

Another option you might like, Jobe?

I love Reuben, it’s my favourite boys name! I think Jasper is cool and goes nice with it. It’s my favourite from your list. Albie is nice too. Bertie, Raife and Finley I like as well

He looks like a Spencer to me!

Sorry just seen that you’ve decided, great choice.

Lovely choice for a gorgeous baby.
