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

I kind of agree with your H about Ellis. Can't put my finger on it but it does have a feminine ring to it.

If you like Jude how about Judd? Not common at all and a bit more masculine.

Edwin doesn't have to be Ed - Win/Winnie is such a fab and positive sounding nickname instead.

Vincent
Gregory

Dylan was our second choice name and it was a very close call - I still absolutely love the name. And Ethan as pp suggested. Elliot is great too

Congratulations on your baby! Don’t cry… you’ll find a name.

however about

dexter
dylan
ethan
Hudson

If you like Jude, maybe Julian? Justin or Jasper?

I don't like a lot of the names listed on here. Ilikd Isaac and Joshua. Some are really pretentious.

Congratulations op!

I also love Quinn - it’s strong, cool and not too common. Aria & Quinn sound great together.

I also like Dylan, Cameron and Quentin (could shorten to Quin?)

Jud reminds me of the obsessive farmhand in Oklahoma! who is in love with Laurey, gets nastily taunted by Curley who sings about imagining Jud’s funeral, and ends up falling on his own knife and dying.

Not Ellis but Elias?
Ellis not girly sounding to my ear

Or Elliott? Not met a single one

These are all beautiful names.

If I were to have another boy, I would call him Eric

Congrats! Go easy on yourself! So many hormones right now will not be helping the tension! Here are some suggestions in case any help...

Asher
Ezra (I think this is my fav with Aria)
Frasier
Elijah
Moses
Noah
Henry

Ps I didn’t name my first child until I got to the limit of days you were allowed. It’s such a huge thing. Go easy on yourself

Marvin any time

Marcus
Jonah
Lucas
Dazliel

Logan is not bad.

My ex mil was Greek. She told me that traditionally, way back (don’t know about these days!) babies were not named until the day of their baptism. All baby boys would be called Bebis and all baby girls Bebba ( meaning baby boy and baby girl).
I wouldn’t worry too much - It’s not that important right now, relax and enjoy your new baby and when you least expect it I bet a name will come to you!

Bison.
Barr.
Fah.
Fadel.
All thai names.

I like Ellis. And Quinn. Neither overused.

aria and

flynn
Elliot
elio
elias
jasper
rio
torin
rowan
ralph
rafferty
casper

Congratulations on your lovely boy!

How old is your Aria? It's been a top 50 name for 8 years, so if she's younger than that, you may well be overthinking the popularity thing, and it's not as much of a concern. Dylan is a fantastic name and ranked at 67 (much less popular than Aria, so I'd go for that if you really like it)

What puts me off Dylan is the nickname Dill or Dilly!

i prefer Quinn.
