DS2 1 week old - still no name - help please

[baskingseals]

Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Dh and I are coming from very different places
Me - Gabriel, Xaviere, Christian, Fabian
Dh - Robert, John, Garry, Lee

It just ain't going to happen is it? Can anybody think of something? Anything? Our other two are Alexandra and Theo.

Gabriel is fab; don't like Finn. If dp would give in on gabriel, could you use one of his as a middle name? Gabriel Lee and Gabriel Robert are both fine, as is Gabriel John.

Also like Rufus & Rory.

Edward with Ed or Woody for short

Jasper - gorgeous

I really agree! Considering he thought I was going to die in the way to hospital(nothing serious I just stopped wailing and screaming for a few seconds - so obviously I must be close to popping my clogs) - you would think I'd get a bit of a sympathy vote, but no not a bit of it. Still no further forward today. Why not Finn? Also can't have Sebastion etc as they are not 'manly' enough.

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions - they are helpful, we shall get there.

Leonard / Leo / Leon

Luca

Maximillian

Felix

David

Daniel

Jonas

The only acceptable name on your dh's list I think is Robert(Robbie?)

I like your names, except Xavier.. minefield of pronunciation problems in the UK. Finn reminds me of a child in the hospital when I had dd.. little boy was told his new baby brother was called Finn.. he shouted 'why not Fat!?'

Tristan? Laurence? Nicholas?
good luck

ps try and get gabriel in as a middle name!!

Crumpette - thanks for making me laugh, must say feeling a bit despondent today. I really like Nico, but can't have it with Theo. I've tried Joel and Joseph to no avail. Still in compromise mode I've suggested Sam, but again No. I surrender, but NOT to Garry or Robert.
Thanks again for all suggestions.

Also suggested Leon. Guess what? Yep - it's a no.

Sorry - and Rufus.

why can't you have Nico and Theo?

Ted

I like the name Heath - have you tried that?

Marlow

Noah
Gideon
Reuben
Jack
Oran
Roan
Albert
Archie
George
Luca

Jethro?

Joel
Jasper
Quinn
Rowan
Wilbur
Finian
Douglas
Josiah

Ross
Jason
Conrad
Ethan
Nicholas
Finlay
Aiden
Joshua
Marcus

Just some names that come to mind. Gosh, you really are at a stalemate!

Let us know what you decide!

Jerome (Jerry for his dad)

Hi, thanks again for all suggestions, they are helping. DH has mentioned Charlie and William, though I like both of them, they're not really my cup of tea. I like Eli and Heath, I'll have another go at him a bit later on after we've finished our row about bookcases. It would be easier if I didn't love Gabriel so much - it's a real mental block. I knew we should have sorted this out before, but oh no - we'll wait to see what he looks like(DH) yeah right.

He looks like a newborn baby.

Gabriel William/Charles?

If he like Garry and you like Gabriel, what about Guy?

or Louis pronounced Louie

Let go of bookshelves and Gabriel. Call him Patrick. It is the best boy's name in the English speaking world.

Hope you are making some headway
Ds1 could have been Gabriel [or Merlin][that was mine and Thank goodness dp talked me out of it]Ds1 is Finn
Still like Merlin but I think A TV presenter who gets on my nerves has a son by that name.
So Kit
Finn
Milo[ds2's name]
Christian.or Christopher[see Kit]

I'm dying to know the outcome of this - please let us know!
