HELP us name our baby?!?!

[ChocOrange05]

DH and I are having a nightmare - we are rubbish at deciding on a name as we are both very fussy. Please make suggestions for boys names - I don't want anything common (i.e he will be one of 3 in his class)

I will apologise in advance for dismissing most of them, we've already had a gazillion suggestions but I am hoping one of you can hit the jackpot! There is a photo of him in my profile if that helps.

Thanks

Let us know when you make your mind up!!!

As you have a scottish surname, why dont you go for a Scottish but also English first name?

sorry not explaining it well. more " neutral"

so not Euan or Struan ( too Scottish)
not Richard or sebastian or Miles or felix( too English)
not Aiden or Connor ( too Irish)
not Owen ( too Welsh)

and one or three syllable not two

and not starting with S ( not stanley or Seth)

Edward - Ned for short. That's who he looks like to me!

Charlie or Oliver would suit him, or William. I do prefere traditional older names that have stood the test of time.
I'm not keen on wierd or made up names.

Read the thread properly and realized you can't have Ned - but isn't it strange that so many of us though of it!

How about Edward - Ed for short?

Hector, Jonah, Tobias (Toby), Herve, Bob (you never get any Bob's any more), Oscar, Sebastian. I have a DS called one of them (and it's not Bob!). Can you guess which one it is?

Oh and he is BEAUTIFUL... my DH looked like a skinned rat so am very but I am glad to report that he is a wee honey now . He looks like a Toby too

Oh he is so gorgeous!! What a beautiful baby.

I second Edward/Ned - I have one!

I met a very cute Edwin (Win) recently too.

There's a reason you don't get any Bobs anymore.

Liam?

If you like Z names why not Zebedee - great name and not at all common

Silas
Gabriel
Otto
Raphael
Finn
Arlo
Tarryn/Taran
Nico
Lars
Linus
Farley
Edmund

I LOVE the name Bob- what's wrong with it

ooh Benedict really suits him

Thanks guys - this is great. Do I sound wierd when I say a part of me doesn't want to name him because then he becomes a real person and I want him to stay so small and lovely and just my baby for now (we are still calling him peanut - his bump name). I know this is really selfish so we will pick a name very soon but I think my resistance to a lot of names is because of this.

dd says Julian

There is also a reason why you don't get many Zebidees!

WILLIAM

We called ds "Boy" for ages for those very reasons, ChocOrange! He had a name, and a name we love, but it felt too grown up to call him it. He is still usually "Boy" at home.

Willy? Or if you're Scottish, Wullie? He's not a Willy to me

Bob is just blunt and so dated that only men in their 60's are called it.

my dp is called Bob. and he's 30.
thank you very much

and there is, or there used to be, a lovely mumsnetter with a little boy called Bob

Reason you don't find many Zebidees Seeker, is because that is the incorrect spelling

OTOH I have a nephew called Zebedee and I personally think it is a gorgeous name
