Help! Baby boy arrived early - no name.

[ISolemlySwearIAmUpToNoGood]

Surname rhymes with box - assume what you will😅Thought we had plenty of time to think / decide but baby decided otherwise. We’d like to have a name before we start introducing him to wider family and friends.

Names we like but can’t use for various reasons:

Joel
Ethan
Elijah
Caleb
Levi

Current list:

Jude
Francis
Gabriel
Jonah
Samuel

Would prefer a less popular but still ‘heard of’ name but it’s not a dealbreaker. Any thoughts or new suggestions please?

How about Edison, Reuben, Ezra, Grayson,Bobby. There are so many Jude's around at the moment. At least 6 in my sons nursery alone 😄

Jude - really like
Francis - ok
Gabriel - like
Jonah - ok
Samuel - like

Other names -
Seth
Cody
Connor
Callum
Oakley
Tate
Adam
Reece
Mason

Nate
Harrison
Angus
Finn

Gabriel is lovely.

I also love Caspian

congratutions!

I like all of them (not very helpful) but would avoid double initialised names like Francis Fox and where the transition is fussy, Francis Socks - too much ssss.

I like Jonah

Or how about
Blake
Finley
Logan
Mason
Rhys
Flynn
Hayes

Not Samuel assuming your surname is Fox! (Sam Fox topless model)

Good spot.

Lawrence may be another name to avoid at the moment .

In my experience uber traditional names are less common because so many people are trying to be unique.
DS is Andrew. In five years I've only ever met one his own age.

Ditto his friend Thomas.

John, Michael, Sam, James etc all have a similar vibe.

Congratulations. Gabriel is a beautiful name however if your surname is Cox I’d avoid that one (Gay Cox). Gabriel Fox is gorgeous.
Jude Fox also rolls off the tongue.
id also avoid Samuel especially if your surname is Fox. (Sam Fox)
I don’t like Jonah personally but they’re both fine with Fox or Cox.
Frankie Cox Okay.
Frankie Fox Okay.

Other ideas.
Jacob Fox/Cox.
David Fox/Cox
Patrick (Fox/Cox
Liam Fox/Cox
Matthew Fox/Cox
Daniel Fox/Cox.

If the surname is Cox I’d definitely scratch Reuben. It could sound like Rubbing Cocks.

Leon
Nathan
Joseph
Aidan / Hayden
Justin
Marcus
Christian
Antony
Zac

Robert
Marcus
Leyland

Oliver

Some lovely ideas here. As a aside, I would take the time to choose something you are happy with. Some friends of mine also had an early arrival and the child was referred to as 'Number 3' for the first few weeks of life

Yes, a picture would be good to give us inspiration ( and make us all broody).
