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?

Lucky he wasn’t the second child…!

I assumed the surname was Cox...

I love the Gabriel

Francis

I like Jonah out of that list.
arlo?
Hamish?

congratulations on your lovely new son

Jonah flows best. Jonah Fox/Cox.

Samuel is nice but I know sooo many Samuels! One of my DC has 6 of them in their year.

Box, Cox, Knox,Fox……..

I rather like Knox Fox, am throwing it into the ring for consideration.

Hope baby is doing well OP, congratulations to you all.

Congratulations on your new baby boy! Your shortlist names are lovely- I lean towards Jude or Jonah.
How about Ellis (similar vibe to Elijah) or Elias - we have a little Ellis and love his name.

I like Francis, stick with that.

Austin Fox
Ayden Fox
Hudson Fox
Jamie Fox
Walter Fox
Martin Fox
Wilder Fox

I would definitely go for something long and not the same letter
Jonathan Fox
Cameron Fox
Matthew Cox
Benjamin Cox
Alexander Fox.
Sebastian Fox

Nathan
Joshua
Matthew
David
James

Jonah - beautiful and underused.

Asa, Moses, Gabriel are my favourites.

Jonah is a jinx around here. I wouldn't use that.

what do you mean a jinx?

You have a lot of biblical names on your list, so I thought to add
Malachi
Asher

Gabriel
Leo
Rory
Theo
Lawrence nn Lawrie

Sorry everyone, we ended up back in hospital with suspected sepsis so I completely forgot about this thread! Baby is absolutely fine now thankfully, we have given ourselves until tonight to make a decision.

We've narrowed it down to Gabriel, Francis and Jude, although a lot of the suggested names were on the list at some point too so thank you!

I’m sure anyone who knows me can guess already from the posts so here’s a photo of my special boy!
