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

He's an old soul
Gabriel (Gabe)

Yes, or Raphael. He reminds me of an angel in a Medieval painting.

Sam/Sammy
Jasper

He's a Seamus. Hello Shay!

Derrymum123 · 17/02/2023 18:28

Séamus.

He's gorgeous, such beautiful eyes.

If you like Cassius, I'll throw Caspian in as an alternative. I'll echo the other posters in saying Oscar, too.

We took a while (days) to decide to announce the names we chose for our sons, even though we'd actually named them within hours of being born. It's a big thing, so it seems right to ponder... but do trust your gut instinct. If he feels like Cassius to you, then go with it!

Read the thread title and thought ‘Oscar’ before the page had even loaded, then saw all the comments. I think he must be an Oscar!

Oooh, he's a beautiful old soul. He needs a classic name like Henry, Charles, Richard.

Something noble and classic.
