@rainingsnoring also like the literary link, and the associated nn. Thanks so much all, definite food for thought 😊

Love Laurie as a nn. There was a Laurence at a class we went to this morning. I would go Laurence Hugo.

Congratulations!!

Definitely Laurence.
Hugo as MN.
I personally don’t like Jasper - though maybe you should use it if it’s your fave!

@YourLocal , he's arrived. Hugo, Jasper or Laurence?

YourLocal · 23/02/2024 20:51

Oops!! Sorry it skipped the other posts!! Defs Hugo xx

Onelife2024 · 23/02/2024 20:56

I like Laurence best, and Jasper a close second.

Hugo is my least favourite of your choices, but still a good name.

Congratulations!

Laurence Hugo or Jasper Laurence. Both are lovely. Congratulations! X

I think we’ve narrowed it down to Cecily/Celia/Cecile/Cecilia
Leonora
Emmeline/Emeline - I don’t mind the French spelling, I lived there for years, my eldest speaks the language, we spend a lot of time there and I think the name is unusual enough that most people will spell it wrong anyway!
we like the nicknames Leo/Nora/Rory/ emmie/mila/Millie/CeCe
thanks so much for the helpful and not so helpful criticism it is really narrowing them down!

For me, Cecilia is the prettiest of the variations.

HoHoHoliday · 24/02/2024 03:28

Jasper Laurence!
Congratulations!

Scottyme · 24/02/2024 07:33

Cicily but only because I love the nn CeCe.
How about Connie Aurora

Nonewclothes2024 · 24/02/2024 09:05

Leonora is nice , have you considered Eleanor?

Pemba · 24/02/2024 09:19

IT'S A BOY!

Proof that so many don't read the thread or even just the OP's updates, but just skim the original post, then drop their pearls of wisdom.

Ohhelppp · 24/02/2024 09:22

Love Cecily. And Emeline. We know a pre-teen Aurora who HATES the Princess association. Something to be aware of!

MerryChristmasToYou · 24/02/2024 11:33

@Ohhelppp , I think OP's baby boy would also hate to be a teen called Aurora.

Laurence Hugo ❤️

pinklepea · 25/02/2024 06:25

I love Hugo but it's one of the most common dog names now. I like Casper as slight change to jasper.

BoswellTheScribe · 25/02/2024 12:36

Jasper is my favourite. I’ve only ever known one Jasper and he’d be 30 ish by now.
Hugo is really popular.
Laurence I’m not too keen on.
