Help with 1 week old baby boy - NO NAME!

[armt]

Help please
i’m in tears every day about this but he has no name. Im desperate to settle but i cannot find a name we like.

We have 100 girl names but nothing for a boy.

we do not like “traditional common” names such as Chris, Tom, Harry, Nick, Ben.

we do not like names like Otto, Otis, Arlo.

we have a little girl called Aria (was not popular when we chose it) if this little one was a girl he would have been Otillie or Delilah.

we liked Jude but I’ve now met so so many baby Jude’s I just feel lost….

we quite liked Ellis but DH thinks it’s girly sounding. Also quite liked Dylan and Quin for a while but now it sounds so…. Over used?

urgh

Declan

My son is Oscar and he has a wee friend called Declan and I always thought it's a cool name but not "out there".

Emrys
Conrad
Carradoc
Piers
Niles
Barnaby
Ranier
Cecil
Vincent
Walter
Duncan
Alistair

Congratulations!

Don't cry. I'm sure you will find a name for your son very soon.

Both Jude and Dylan are good names!
I think the name Jude is quite popular now, yes.
But I don't think the name Dylan is over used right now?

Any names in your family trees that you like?

Declan
Oscar
Finn
Leo
Arthur
Elias
Nathan
Jory
Freddie/Frederick
Toby

Thank you @SkaneTos. I’m just not sold on any name it’s such an odd feeling. Nothing going “yes that’s the one!”
family names are very… Nick, Ben etc.
There Is Edwin but we don’t like Ed at all!

We waited with both our boys until the six week limit to name them. That gave us time to try out a few names before deciding. We also had a ton of girls names, no boys names, and ended up having two boys. Try not to panic! I do like Dylan though.

I’d say it wasn’t until week 4-5 with DC2 I thought ‘yes, that’s the one!’. With DC1 we were still deciding on the drive to register.

It’s so tricky! We really struggled with boys names too!

Elias, Elliott or Eli
Julian

Caspian
Hugo
Orson

Lucian
Rowan or Roman
Milo or Miles
Finn

Congrats on your new arrival!

Based on the latest name stats I can find, your preferred girl's names Delilah and Ottilie are 44 and 83 most popular, so both top 100 names.

The boy's name at 44 is Hudson and 83 is Elliot - Dylan is 64 so in the middle- not that popular really?

I'd go for Dylan if you like it.

Quinn is not at all popular for a boy, a bit more popular for a girl.

Or something like Duncan, Ewan, Magnus, Conrad, Alistair, Cormac, Tristan, Robin, Rex which are less popular.

Maybe try the Kinder app if you haven't already?

My favourites for a boy when we had our second were Isaac, Eli and Asher. Accidentally all old testament 🤣 We had a girl. And for what it's worth, we went with a top 5 name but actually haven't come across another of the same name yet and I go to a lot of toddler groups. Plus I have an older child and there's none in their year group either. So don't let popularity put you off a name!

Sounds like you like unisex names (Jude, Dylan, Quinn) so Elliot, Emery, Sage, Jesse, Morgan, Cameron, Francis, Jamie, Kit. Any of those appeal?

I love Dylan!

Cillian
Alex
Elliot
Kai
Isaac
Fin
Evan

Owen, Evan, Tristan or Flynn? Similar vibes/sounds to Dylan and Quinn and I think they fit well with Aria and are not overused.

I love Jude. Dylan and Elis are also very nice.

My suggestions:

Elias
Dominic
Leon
Xavier
Rufus
Casper
Atticus

If it helps at all, I love the name Ellis and don’t think it’s girly at all, in fact it’s our DS’s middle name, and I slightly regretted ‘wasting’ it in case we had another boy. His full name is Finn Ellis (surname).

We’ve met a fair few ‘Finley’s but no other Finns and haven’t met another Ellis. He’s three.

Dillon Dylan are lovely
Asa and Tate are less common I believe and fit with aria
Elliot is also nice and a bit like Edwin / Ellis

Calm down and take your time! No need whatsoever for tears. We didn’t finally name DS until we were on our way to register him, and he was ten weeks old by then!

We wanted something along the lines of Ellis or Elliott for our little boy, and in the end settled on Elias. I know others above have suggested it as well.

He is 2.5 now and suits the name so much. I'm sure you'll find something to suit your little one soon, don't worry 💙 Boys names are very tricky!

I love the name Quinn! DH wasn’t as keen so it’s DS middle name. Also love the name Ellis. Jude is very popular but I’d go with a name you like and not worry so much about popularity. One of my boys has a very popular name and there are none in his year and one other in the school. Another DC has a less popular name and there are so many in their year/school!!

I think I would have had Darwin if dd2 had been a boy.

Dont lose hope. Dd2 was nameless for 6 weeks 😅

Quinn, I LOVE Quinn. Or Cam/Cameron and Beck.

Congratulations lovely! We will find you a name don’t worry☺️. I will suggest some for you and then you can tell me which you do and don’t like xxx
