My son arrived early, at 31 weeks, late Monday night. He's still nameless. My husband and I went up to the NICU right after he was born with our short list of names. But none fit him. Our list was full of short cute names and our little guy is such a strong fighter so we decided to scrap them all and start over.
Our original now scrapped short list:
Arlo
Jasper
Toby
Nico
Any suggestions for what to name a fiesty baby boy who survived a complicated pregnancy? For reference my twins are Max Vincent and Lily O'Brien.
Mom to three beautiful preemies:
Lily born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 4 oz. Max born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 2 oz. Glenn born at 31 wks: 3 lbs 9 oz.
No suggestions but good luck! My DS also arrived at 31 wks. I suggest checking out the preemie board if you haven't already. The ladies there are awesome. Good luck to you your little guy!
Congrats on your baby boy! I hope he continues to get stronger. The first thought I had with Max and Lily was Alexander, and many of the NN for Alexander were on the nameberry list linked in the pp link above. Good luck!
I love either Evan or Alexander. Evan is strong on it's own and I like that you can use Alex or Xander as a nn for Alexander. They both seem strong to me. Congrats!
BOAZ: Strong
BRIAN: Strong One
EMMETT: Strong
EVAN: young warrior
I think I just fell in love with Evan. I liked the name before but the meaning is wonderful. And OP, it's perfect for your situation. I saw someone said Evan Alexander. I love that!

Re: Help: my boy arrived and we have no name
I found this very appropriate list via googlesearch:
https://nameberry.com/userlist/view/32392
Hopefully something there will catch your eye; I thought there were several good ones!
Good luck with your decision, and CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow-- congrats!
The first thing that popped into my head when you said fighter was Oscar.
I hope your DS gets stronger every day.

I agree, hit up some sites for names that refer to strength or fighters. There are several.

Congrats and hang in there, mama!
My first thought was Alexander.
It says the same thing to me but my husband sees it as a hippie name which he doesn't think fits any more. I love the name jasper.
Lily born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 4 oz.
Max born at 27 wks: 2 lbs 2 oz.
Glenn born at 31 wks: 3 lbs 9 oz.
