Ds3 born last Friday.

We have no name.

We have ds1 and ds2 called Alfie and jack, so it needs to suit/match their names.

I love Michael-but it's my brothers name
I love Thomas-also my brothers name
I love Dylan-dh doesn't
Like Harry-but too like Alfie
Like Ben-I think

Any suggestions?!?
Please?!?!

Charlie would go with Alfie & jack

Ben nice.

Would it be a problem naming DS after your brother though? Wouldn't it be a nice gesture too?

Personally I don't go with the idea of matchy matchy names. Just call your new little boy whatever you want.

I dont think Harry and Alfie are alike at all.

I like all of the names on your list though, I would just go with the one you think fits him best.

Ben & Harry are both lovely names. I don't think Alfie is too close to Harry if you want to use it.

What about Finn? I like the sound of that with your other two boys.

None of the names suggested in the OP are "matchy matchy", they just sound good with names she already has.

I love the name Michael. I'm sure your brother would be honoured :)

Charlie would go really well. Also like Harry, Ben and max. Love the name Noah but not sure if that would go?

I know someone with an Alfie and a Harry, it never occurred to me that they are too alike.

Thomas Michael - so names for both your brothers, and Alfie, Jack and Tom sound lovely together.

The Alfie I know has brothers called William and Oscar, and the Jack I know has a brother called Daniel (Daniel is older, and there is a sister in between so it doesn't sound like the drink)

We were like this with DS2. In the end we went for Tom (not Thomas) could you do that?

Michael is lovely and underused or how about Mark?

My other suggestion is Jonathan nn Jonny.

My DD is Edward, known as Eddie.
I also liked Harry, Jack, Oliver and Zachary. I kind of like more modern names like Harley and Mason too.
