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

Jago
Magnus

Julian
Jules
Joss
Derren

Reuben

I love
dexter
alfie
Arlo
Toby
xander
Alex

What about Eli?

How about Robin? Lawrence? Leon?
I love the name Cnut but couldn't use it for obvious reasons!

Dyslexia?

You can spell it Canute if that helps?

Or Knud. Like they also do in Scandinavian countries. Doesnt work well in English but I agree its a great name.

Rory, digby, Toby

I would ho with Dylan, it has a really friendly and kind feel to it, and I haven't come across any little Dylan's personally, it's definitely not popular in my area (Aria is though)

Elliot
Joel
Saul
Austin
Morgan
Finn

My choice would be Donovan or Raymond

@armt

If you like Jude but think it's too popular now, how about Judah?

I think Asher is nice too, but that might be becoming quite popular:

Other suggestions:

Julian
Lucas
Robin
Edmund
Peter (too traditional maybe?)
Scott
Maurice
Gawain
Gareth
Tristan
Victor
Kay
Francis
Kieran

I love the name markus (with a k🤗) , But also Willie sort for Willicus😉! Good luck!😀

Idris
Jonny
Lyn
Had
Oakley

Haf! Not Had!

Love the name Jude so, so much, but do understand it’s more popular. What about Kit or Robin for other more unisex, short names for boys?

I don't think Quinn and Dylan are overused at all. I don't meet many of them. I think you are worrying a lot about using a name that is common/ popular - you should just go with what you like.

whats-a-happenin op?

Has baby got a name yet?

I know so many Dylans, it’s crazy popular.
Quinn sounds more girly to me than Ellis (which is a fab name)

Austin
Greyson
Cosmo

The reason people think Ellis sounds girly is because when it is spoken it is indistinguishable from Alice.

I think the DH has a fair point there.

@op What have you decided?

Rory. Austin. Hal. Jamieson.
