Swistle,
\nI REALLY need your help. My son was born two weeks early and we didn’t find out the gender. He is now a month old and I still haven’t named him! I just can’t quite commit and only have one more week before I have to register his birth and choose a name.<\/p>\n

We have two daughters, Scarlett Elizabeth and Ivy Jean, both of their middle names are family names. If he had been a girl he would have been Olive Elaine. I feel like we have a definitive girl naming style, but can’t work out boys names. I think this is our last baby.<\/p>\n

Some helpful context. We are American, but live in London, so ideally a babe that works in both countries but not in the top 10. Our surname is K3nt, and I think two or more syllable names sound best.<\/p>\n

Names on our list that don’t work for various reasons…
\nJude (too short)
\nJack (too short)
\nLiam (USA popular)
\nClarke (not with our surname)
\nDean (apparently looked down upon in the UK)
\nBeau (hubby hates)
\nColin (our neighbor)<\/p>\n

I think my current frontrunner is Jonah. Other names I like are Hugh, Levi, Logan, Eli, Callum…<\/p>\n

Middle name will be Scott, after my dad.<\/p>\n

Did I miss any good ones? Why can’t I commit? Any tips?<\/p>\n

Help name this baby!<\/p>\n

Thank you,

Hi Swistle,
\nHuge thanks to all of your lovely readers for their help in naming our little boy. <\/p>\n

There was lots of support for Oliver, but that is my nephew’s name! <\/p>\n

In the end, we named him Jonah. I think I needed some reassurance and other ideas to help me choose. Part of me still wonders if there is a better name for him out there. I haven’t found it yet and imagine he will grow into his name more and more each day. <\/p>\n

Thanks for all your help!
