HELP us name our baby?!?!

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

daffodill6 · 12/11/2008 20:36

Congratulations!
He's a Bertie in my eyes

MadamAnt · 12/11/2008 20:43

Oh crikey, he really is gorgeous. He'll carry off whatever name you choose for him with aplomb!

How about Vincent? Or Louis? Wilfred? Albert?

FairLadyRantALot · 12/11/2008 20:52

How about Vernon? Quite like that name...or Ruben? Or Leonard? Or Christopher? Or Tristan? Phillip?

annasmami · 12/11/2008 20:54

How about Quentin? Or Arthur?

tristan is very good
and also tristram

mustremembertofeedthecat · 12/11/2008 21:17

Wow he is absolutely gorgeous chocorange05, congrats.
He looks like a Ralph to me.

jeanjeannie · 12/11/2008 21:30

Wow - he's scrummy! He really is gorgeous.
He looks like a Quinn to me.

Although, quite frankly he's going to suit anything you give him

mooki · 12/11/2008 21:35

John - then you shorten (or lengthen infact) to Johnny if you like.

boolean · 12/11/2008 22:09

He is gorgeous! I don't think my chosen name for a boy would actually suit him (we had a girl) but if it helps it was Vincent James.

Have you narrowed it down yet??

Flossydrop · 12/11/2008 22:12

How about Teddy (Edward) or Dexter ?

littleoldme · 12/11/2008 22:22

He is a cutie pie. What about Solomon - Sol for short.

ChocOrange05 · 12/11/2008 22:38

I am trying to convince DH of Ned as I really like it but he's not buying. Not even the labour card!! [hmmph]

He like Sidney - which I do too (my grandads name) but not keen on Sid for short. What do you guys reckon??

BeanyboysMum · 12/11/2008 22:45

Congratulations.
How about Ralph or Hugo

Majeika · 12/11/2008 22:46

rory is mega!!

Pinkyminkee · 12/11/2008 22:58

I really like Sidney, ChocO. But he would be called Sid quite often
.
Obviously I am completely biased in favour of the Felix option (suprised someone said it was very english- ours is after a very scottich grandad)

If you called him Edward you could introduce Ned by stealth, later on?
