Hi all
Really struggling to think of a name for my little boy
Nothing seems right??
The longer it goes on the harder it's getting
What name comes to mind or what do you think he looks like
Like unusual names but not out there
Was thinking Cassius

@tulips27 🤣

Yes I'm prone to the name Oscar, I called my lo that 5 weeks ago!

Patrick

He looks like an Elliot to me

Zebracat · 17/02/2023 10:56

He looks peaceful and contemplative. I associate Cassius with Mohammed Ali the boxer before the name change. So it seems too physical I think he needs a name like Isaac or Anselm or Jude.

Albie sprung straight into my mind when I saw him, not a name I've ever considered before. What a cutie he is!

The first name that came to mind was George 😊 congratulations!

Oscar suits him, tho my first thought was Peter!

RitaBea · 17/02/2023 11:07

Gilbert (Bertie). Congratulations, he’s very cute. Would suit an ‘old man name’.

I wouldn't read too much into that. They're back in fashion. I know an Albert and a Wilfred and they're both under two years' old.

Awwww ❤️

ScreamALullabye · 17/02/2023 11:18

I don't see why? While not common, there will probably be more than one Cassius in his school?

I thought of Fergus when I saw his little face. Congratulations. It means the strong one. However, I think Cassius is a lovely name.

I don’t believe he will get slaughtered on the playground for the name Cassius. These days, children have a wide range of names from the traditional to made up and no one apart from perhaps the parents of other children bats an eye lid. Their normal and the normal of older generations are so completely different.

Cassius Oscar or Cassian Oscar are lovely
Jacob and Freddie also came to mind when I looked at his sweet little face. Congratulations
