Have name changed as this is SO outing 😬

I am having my tenth and final baby in December, just found out it’s a boy, my 7th boy and my 4th boy in a row!

Here are my other children’s names

Max
George
Tabitha
Ivor
Posy
Mabel
Stanley
Rocco
Winston

Im a bit lost for names, plus the older 5 children are teenagers and have an opinion on everything 😂 I like Ziggy, Frank, Bruno, Dexter and Axel. But don’t really love any of them.

TIA 🙂

Anatole. Pronounced Anna-Toll. Tolly or Toller for short. Read a story when I was a kid and I always wanted to call my future son Toller 😊 unfortunately, DH disagreed with me. Massively.

Septimus is bloody awful! 😖 Just makes me think 'septic!'

Or a septum infection! 😂

I do seem to have a habit of dog names tbh, I met two English bulldogs called Rocco and Winston the other day 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I have to concede I do think of Oscar the Grouch so it never made our lists, but its very popular and used alongside really nice names.

True that! I reckon I overthink it which is odd for me as I’m no brain box! All My
kids have what you call traditional names like the royal family. You can’t go wrong with them names ever!

in town this summer holiday I heard kids with these names -

mullet
Anastasia
Lacey
addison
otllie
artilla
evan
dottie
luna
benton
Lincoln
dalton

😂😂😂😂

If you like dog names what about Milo or Jasper? 😁

Also Ive been rereading Harry Potter. Marvolo? Cedric? Blaise?

Calliopespa · 31/08/2025 19:30

If you like dog names what about ...

Best comment I've seen on a baby name thread! 😄

Meplusten · 31/08/2025 19:42

I think I’ve been persuaded not to use Ziggy 🙂 I think Otto might be the new favourite!

In case it bothers you, Otto means 8 in Italian. Otherwise it's a lovely choice Smile

Bluelilacbella · 31/08/2025 21:45

Otto would be perfect for your next, 8th, boy!

Tilldeathwecantpart · 31/08/2025 22:02

congratulations on your little boy op, we’ve finally decided on Joseph for our little boy

mnbvqwertyqwerty · 31/08/2025 22:32

Otto and Rocco are too similar-sounding and as others have said, otto means 8 in Italian.

Hector
Milo
Miles
Eric
Nathaniel
Oscar

Yeah it does a bit! I wanted to use it for Rocco as he was my 8th child but changed my mind at the last minute.

I had 3 boys and loved the name Walter. I didn't use it but maybe it's an idea?
Good luck OP, sounds wonderful x

WaitWhatWhatWait · 31/08/2025 22:41

I like the idea of acknowledging your tenth child, and as J is the 10th letter of the alphabet what about...
Jackson
Jesse
Jadon
James/ Jamie (I like more classic names, so this would be my choice)

Congratulations and best of luck, I'm in awe of you 🤩

fuzzt · 31/08/2025 22:44
