Can't decide on a boys name!

DP is pretty traditional and we've narrowed the choices down to

George (my grandad's name though know tonnes of others too)
Harry
Max
Ben

I like Seth (DP not so much) and Noah but surname starts No so I think it may sound a bit strange.

Struggling to imagine using any of them so all ideas would be great, thanks.

We have similar taste. DS is george (not exactly groundbreaking, but it's lovely name and we've had nothing but positive reactions to it).

DC2 is due in Dec and we're struggling to choose a boys name, but I like all those on your list (tho have ruled out some due to family connections). Really like seth. Also considering Rory, Leo (family name), Adam and Fraser. We love the name Robin too but used it for DS's middle name.

Will be a lot easier if we get a girl as she'll def be called Martha!

I like George from your list, followed by Ben, but I only like Ben when short for Benedict.
How about Gregory Jeremy, Albert, James, Oliver,Charles?

I like all 4 suggestions but prefer the longer versions on BC, Benjamin and Maximilian (absolutely love those 2 names). Also love Henry, William, Oliver, Sebastian...

Not so keen on Seth or Noah.

I like George, and Henry with Harry as nickname, or Max as nickname for Maxim/Maximus/Maximilian.

How about Nathaniel, Edwin, Luke, Jacob, Daniel, Oliver, Samuel?
