You just had a baby, surname Dent. What do you name them?

[Fourpintsoffullfatplease]

Looking for boy and girl names that go with the surname Dent 😁

👏👏👏

Plus ready-made road man credentials right there

Sue-Perinten

Eliza

Anything but Axi

Renta

Brilliant

😂

Nothing that can be shortened to Ro, Ax, Jo, Bo, Evie, Connie, Fin, Des, Pru, Al, Polly, Stu, Kay, Ria, Lou or Pen.
Nothing ending in -in -ine sounds (eg Quinn)
Nothing ending in -and or -as
Nothing that’s a also a noun (eg Fox) a verb (eg Mark) or an adjective (eg Dusty)

Preferably not I.Dent, A.Dent and I’d personally prefer to avoid the initials OD

So maybe
Cecily Dent
Claudia Dent
Georgina Dent

Matthew Dent
Barnaby Dent
Magnus Dent

Here for any names beginning with R

R.Dent ❤️

Abigail
Charlie

How about Oxi for a DD?

I'm sure her eventual nieces and nephews, if she subsequently has any, would enjoy respectfully addressing her fully.

Opened the thread to see how many people would suggest Arthur. Mumsnet never disappoints 😂. Though I would go for Jasper or something else with 2 syllables that's difficult to shorten. And not ending in n or an ee sound, as this makes it tend to sound like a personal hygiene product.

Lucy, Amelia
Oscar, Charlie, Sebastian

William or Stephanie

Surely Fixo?

Malin
Impu
Decca

I think you need three syllables with the stress on the first or second, and I'd avoid a name beginning with D, or ending with D or T.

Just a few examples that I think go quite well with Dent (I deliberately haven't read all the suggestions, so you can see if more than one person has chosen some of them):

Emily, Eliza, Francesca, Bethany, Vivien, Natalie, Rebecca, Isabel

Jeremy, Anthony, Christopher, Benjamin, Joshua, Harrison, Theodore, Oliver

i disagree. 2 syllables works better.

I think you need a traditional two or three syllable name, that's not Arthur, and a middle name that's not Arthur either. And I think you need to avoid a vowel ending.
