Please help! Less than 1 month until baby boy arrives and no name still 🤦‍♀️

Ideally we’d love a name that is slightly unique yet classy.

Trying to avoid names ending in ‘A’ and ‘ER’ as they clash with our surname.

Some of the names we love but can’t go with as friends/family have already

  • Rupert
  • Otto
  • Luca
  • Wilf (Wilfred)
  • Sebastian
  • Reuben


Some names that are potentially still in the mix but we’re not madly in love with
  • Nicolo
  • Jenson
  • Orlando
  • Jaques


We have ties to Italy, Germany, France and Ireland as well as living in England.

Name suggestions much appreciated!!!!

Luca is my favourite out of the first list, I also live Lucas.

Skinnermarink · 19/10/2022 21:17

Well, I have a year-old Sebastian and I love it just as much as when we first chose it, so that’s my vote. He’s a cheeky chappy and suits being called Seb as well but the full name is used frequently.

Skinnermarink · 19/10/2022 21:20

Ooh you mean you CAN’T have those names?

my second choice was Rory.

viktoria · 19/10/2022 21:20

How about
Ludo
Leon
Hugo

MargotChateau · 19/10/2022 21:22

Love Sebastian and Rupert and put them on my own list, but partner vetoed them both.

bravelittletiger · 19/10/2022 21:22

First of all stop panicking!! You've got a whole month until he's even born!! You will
Probably change your mind when you meet him anyway whatever you choose in advance.

I really don't like any of the names on your second list sorry. Some others:

Otis, lando, Lyon, Barnaby, Casper, Cassius , Enzo, Ludo

Tiredforfive45 · 19/10/2022 21:25

Teddy
Laurence
Ezra

I’d avoid Jenson as it is quite popular (currently 5 of them at the small
primary school I work at!)

If you want a name that's "slightly unique" or even just a bit different then avoid the top 100 names for starters
names like Reuben and Rory are very popular /overused so really don't fit your criteria. I know about 15 of them.
Get a list of the official top 100 names and avoid them all @LittleMrsMama

nelliebear8 · 20/10/2022 08:00

How about:
Hugo
Jasper
Felix
Otis (alternative to Otto)
Cosmo
Jude
Theo
Wesley
Wilbur (alternative to Wilfred)
