Gentle giant name for a boy?

[Cocolatte24]

I recently had a son and we’re struggling to find a name; he’s a gentle giant and super tall so I’d like to find a name that suits a larger baby and is quite soft/ round sounding if that makes sense?

I’m looking for any ideas and also ones that lend themselves to a nickname

So far we’ve thought about Henry and Barney but I’m not sure how I’d shorten Henry - I don’t like Harry or Hal, and Barney just reminds us of the purple dinosaur!

Any ideas?

I like Henry- doesn’t need shortening! Otherwise….

You're over thinking it. Pick a name you like.

He isn't gentle, he's a newborn baby, under 40 days I assume if you've not registered him. He might be quieter or louder than other babies but that will likely change time and again.

And he might be long but again, he's barely a month old. He isn't a giant, he's just currently a big baby

Pick a beautiful name not one that matches his 1 mo "personality"

My not-so-gentle-but-definitely-a-giant 4 year old is Caspar and I think it’s perfect

The giant Alexander is a lovely book. And a nice name for any size of person.

But I'm also on the view your naming a future man, and all babies are gentle.

I agree with others - Ben.
My dad is a 6ft3 giant teddy bear of a man, Ben suits him great!

Being 6’3 (4-5 inches above average height for a man) doesn’t make you a giant or even more than a bit tall! Otherwise I’m a female giant at 5’9 (4-5 inches above average height for a woman) and my teen daughter is a giantess at 5’10! My DH at 6’1 looks utterly average in any crowd and has never been described as tall. Just regular.

You can be tall,small or any height you like but a gentle GIANT is surely someone far, far beyond average height and presumably general overall weight and size too, not someone lanky and skinny but tall? So it definitely can’t apply to a newborn baby !

There's an NHL player named Maxx, apparently his mother spelt it that way because he weighed 11lb at birth. Not to my taste but gets the point across!
