Hello
our son [name]Julius[/name] [name]Raphael[/name] arrived safely 8 pd 10 oz last week. Must add I arrived to my Ob appointment thinking I was due on the sat and in fact three days over with contractions every 5-10 mins but not painful I assumed I would be sent home but no delivered our bub later that afternoon no drugs and no stitches - very happy mumma indeed.
I wanted to thank you all husband and I took some time still in delivery suite to name our son and we want to thank you all for your comments and suggestions. [name]Felix[/name] was up there but in fact a few at our local park as there are Sebastians, [name]Raphael[/name] we loved but were concerned with the dual pronunciation (I hope you get what I mean and likelihood Raf would be the nick name) - so [name]Julius[/name] it is… we thought it was a handsome name that could carry him where ever/what ever he chooses to do in life and the nick name [name]Jules[/name] could be handy for that.
anyhow husband said that given your great ideas ‘perhaps’ the nameberry name ‘experts’ might be able to help if we are to have a third boy - so although its still early days but thought I might leave it to you all what would you name our potential third son ( we prefer handsome/old fashioned names )
so [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Julius[/name] & …? what comes to mind ( must add girls name already set
Oh wow! [name]How[/name] exciting! I was checking in and waiting for the news. [name]Julius[/name] is very cool and does go well with [name]Hugo[/name].
I love how you are thinking of number 3 already hehe.
I would go with [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Julius[/name] and [name]Alfie[/name]
So, I have no suggestions on the name front at this point, but congrats to you and your husband and sons!!! [name]Julius[/name] [name]Rafael[/name] is a truly awesome name!

Wow, no drugs OR stitches? Good for you! So glad to hear that little [name]Julius[/name] is here and that all is well. Congratulations! I [name]LOVE[/name] his name! [name]Julius[/name] [name]Raphael[/name] is SO handsome, I think you achieved exactly what you were aiming for in his name. Gotta say, I’m really glad you didn’t go with [name]Felix[/name], I think [name]Julius[/name] is much, much better. And I love [name]Raphael[/name] as the middle. Beautiful name! [name]Julius[/name] is rather high on my list to go with [name]Dashiell[/name], you’ll have to keep us updated on what kind of responses it gets in real life. Oh, and don’t forget you can use the nickname [name]Jude[/name], if you like that! You have seriously made my day! So happy for you and the family, enjoy your precious baby!

thanks everyone for your well wishes
[name]Julius[/name] [name]Raphael[/name]'s name has been well received so far - in hospital a number of nurses said it was a very regal name and when we said to the Ob the name was almost other way around her first comment was ‘rif raf’ something we wanted to avoid :0 so happy about that!
I have really enjoyed my time on nameberry and might need to lurk
best wishes everyone and again thanks for your input we found it really constructive
Huge congratulations from all of us here at nameberry, [name]Annetta[/name], and how very thoughtful of you to get in touch and tell us your great news. That definitely must have been an easy delivery to be thinking of number 3 already! (and what makes your husband so sure it would be another boy? I bet the nameberryites could have a wonderful time coming up with names for [name]Hugo[/name] and [name]Julius[/name]'s little [name]SISTER[/name].)
If you’re so inclined and when you’re ready, please send a picture of the baby or of the brothers or of the whole family to me at pam@nameberry.com – we’d be delighted to feature you in a blog.
Congratulations on your new son and on choosing an excellent name!

shall do I think if we are to have a third girls name will still be [name]Ivy[/name] given its a family name however there are so many others that i love including [name]Estelle[/name] but if we are to have another boy ( likely given all of my sisters only have sons I have no idea and [name]Julius[/name] was one bumped off from first son’s list
again so glad i found this site
cheerios
