Help with 1 week old baby boy - NO NAME!

armt · 11/05/2025 14:48

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

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I like Lucas

SpryCat · 12/05/2025 22:49

I had Chay as a name if I’d had a boy

Pyjamatimenow · 12/05/2025 22:50

My two names were Doug and Sonny. Probably no help but there it is. I had girls

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

Gorgeous names I just wouldn't pair Ezra with Aria (pretty little liars)

uncomfortablydumb60 · 13/05/2025 00:20

Aria and Finn
Isaac
Rowan
Rory
Lucas

My daughter is pregnant and she likes Cassius if it's a boy! 🥴 I'm not too keen! But I do like Rosalie if it's a girl 🤔

Ydkiml · 15/05/2025 21:48

Has he got a name yet ?

Spicysuz · 16/05/2025 13:07

I had Ellis and Jude on my list so maybe we have similar taste!

Other names I liked in case any appeal:
Ruben
Elliot
Finley
Thomas
Zachary
Sebastian

iseethembloom · 16/05/2025 13:21

Neil
Vince - vinnie
Douglas
Mark
Elliot
Evan
Adam

i agree that boys names are so much more difficult

iseethembloom · 16/05/2025 13:28

Adam, Mark and Neil are my favourites

masculine sounding, not wildly popular anymore nor are they ‘fashion’ names so will age well .

Patrick is also lovely

iseethembloom · 16/05/2025 13:53

Dominic is also nice

iseethembloom · 16/05/2025 19:29

if you like Jude, why not Julian?

Please let us know what you decide.

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.

Alice?

Lallie87 · 17/05/2025 20:12

I really like Silas.
