If you gave birth today (hypothetically) what do you think you would name your baby?

I think if I had a girl she would be Monroe and boy would be Atlas

Shiloh baby boy

OzCalling · 18/01/2025 23:33

Beatrice for a girl
Conor for a boy

Maxorias · 19/01/2025 00:50

Girl would be Célestine or Séraphine. Boy would be Alexander or Markus.

Atlas is 😳😳😳 and Monroe isn’t much better.

Boy - Alexander or Lewis
Girl - Emma or Lauren

TTC now so we'll see if that's what we'll go for. Me and DH have been discussing names for donkeys years in prep for this BlushGrin

Lucky they’re hypothetical babies then.

Can’t find where your opinion was asked but thank you for kindly sharing :)

Atticus for a boy
India for a girl

nopiesleftinthisvehicle · 24/08/2025 00:26

Boy: Michael or James

Girl Anastasia (it must be pronounced the Greek way though: Anas-Ta-Sia

So I would probably give up and go for Grace. 😁

Itsnottheheatitsthehumidity · 24/08/2025 00:49

Atlas sounds nice though I don't like the association with having the heavens on your shoulders.

My boy would be called Magnus and my girl would be called Hera or Athena or Minerva.

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/08/2025 07:28

Rafferty or Hebe

Iris for a girl, Jasper for a boy.

Have you seen the film ‘The holiday’ with Jude Law? These are 2 names used. Great names,love them 😊

millymollyminging · 24/08/2025 07:57

Same as I called them 30 odd years ago. Classic names, not boring and not overly common.

do NOT understand the ‘I want a name no one else has’ mentality. Atlas? Really??

Busted2006 · 24/08/2025 15:32

Francesca and Thomas

Not that I particularly like Atlas but I’d much rather have an interesting and memorable name than a boring overused classic. My surname is boring enough

Sorry but forgetting to find where people’s opinions on the name were asked? OP asked what you would call a baby if you had one today. I know a handful of little boys called Atlas and they are all lovely boys! It’s a Greek mythological name just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t automatically mean it’s a bad name.

mummysmagicmedicine · 24/08/2025 19:00

I would choose
Dorothy and Solomon

StepOff · 24/08/2025 19:04

Felix & Eliza

Blingismything · 24/08/2025 19:10

Marcus and Gabrielle

Cocktailsandcheese · 24/08/2025 20:39

Holly or Amelie for a girl, Noah or James for a boy
