Boris Becker's New Son

[name]Boris[/name] [name]Becker[/name]'s third wife, [name]Lilly[/name], just gave birth to his fourth child:

[name]Amadeus[/name] [name]Benedict[/name] Edley [name]Luis[/name] [name]Becker[/name]

I’m astounded by this name! Such a huge name for a tiny baby, but I can see how it will be an amazing name for him as an adult!

He joins siblings [name]Noah[/name], [name]Elias[/name] and [name]Anna[/name].

I like that it ends in an S like [name]Elias[/name], as [name]Noah[/name] and [name]Anna[/name] both have that “uh” sound at the end - it ties them all together even though they have different mothers. But, [name]Amadeus[/name] is much more bold than the other kids’ names, so [name]Lilly[/name] must have different taste. With so much to work with, I wonder what they will actually call the boy? :wink:

Cool name!

hmmmm, not a fan, but each to their own.

[name]Artemis[/name] is a name i could get on board with nn [name]Artie[/name] - that would have been cute. Or even cut the [name]Amadeus[/name] and go with [name]Benedict[/name] [name]Becker[/name]. [name]Benedict[/name] flows a bit better with his other kids, but i suppose his new wife doesn’t care about that so much xx

Congratulations to them x

[name]Amadeus[/name] is a brilliant name (a great meaning, a notable namesake, very unusual), but I do think that it is so unusual, and possible pretentious, that it would be better saved for a middle position. Also, as a nn fanatic, I wonder what they will call him for short … [name]Amy[/name]?!

I love [name]Benedict[/name] and [name]Luis[/name], though, so at least he has options if he would like a more ‘normal’ name (or to fit in better with his siblings, namewise). Edley could be nicknamed to [name]Ed[/name], [name]Eddie[/name], [name]Ted[/name], [name]Teddie[/name] et cetera, which are all sweet, too.

i would love to see if they call him [name]Abe[/name]… like his first 3 initals. :slight_smile:

i love [name]Amadeus[/name] though, i love the strength behind it.

Or [name]ABEL[/name]! Good thinking, [name]Ashlyn[/name]!

I adore [name]Amadeus[/name]! I think it’s a strong name, with a wonderful namesake! We’re considering using this for our son. I think some good nicknames are Amo and Deyo.
