Just had a little boy had really struggling to think of a name
Every name I think is nice I talk myself out of or over i think
Anybody else ???
I feel the longer he has no name the worse it will get
I want a strong name not too popular but not too out there ?

I love Cassius and Cassian! Great choices

Another big vote for Cassius or Cassian...love those names! I've a friend with a little boy called Cassius/Cas and he is lovely. He's the only one I know and I work with kids!

DS is 9 days old and still unnamed, I’m starting to panic we’ll never name him!

I think we are down to Theodore, Alexander, James or Thomas but who knows???

Thankyou that's really good advice

Going to start shouting a few options !!!

I love Cassius or Cassian but lost confidence
Love nick name Cass
Love Theodore but feel it might be safe option
Love Teddy but worried about when he's older

Cass sounds awesome shouted across a pub. Go for it!!!

AnotherSpare · 07/02/2023 22:32

Cassian sounds a beautiful name! I've not heard it before. Go for that one!
If you like Teddy but worry about it being to young, you could use Edward, then he can be Teddy while young and Ed when he's older.
But go with Cassian!

CastleTower · 08/02/2023 06:04

I love Cassian, but Cassius is also great. Start calling him Cass and go from there!

Congratulations on the baby, our baby boy is around the same age. 😊 We took a couple of days to name him too, felt like ages but it isn't in the grand scheme of things.

sillysocks22 · 08/02/2023 07:35

Love Cass! Probably prefer Cassian slightly more but both great. Congrats on your baby OP!

KatPatPat · 08/02/2023 07:41

Without a doubt - Cassius! Don't overthink it, it's a great name

emmathedilemma · 08/02/2023 09:16

Go with your gut instinct.
I would avoid Theodore / Theo / Teddy / Ted as it seems to be so popular at the moment, i hear them all a lot when out n about.
