Boys Name we have loads

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

Ok so I like unusual names so if you don't you won't like any of these. I know that our name choices are very marmite.

I am pregnant with ds4 and this time around we are really struggling. So far we have an Evan, Clayton & Teddy.

Names we like are:
Bowie
Rafferty
Albie
Tate

Today we had FIL and DHs step mum over for dinner. We spoke about names and she said her dad was called Monty. I quite like it although our surname starts with an M but I think it goes well. I know that people may say about the dog thing but I get that with my son Teddy anyway. What do you think?

[Pipsweet1]

me personally I think Albie is the best out of those! Tate always makes me think of the Tate family who use to be in emmerdale 😆, and the other two are a bit sickly (again in my opinion)

[LadyAntonella]

I love Rafferty!

Bowie is quite cool too (are you a big David Bowie fan)?

Albie I love as a nn for Albert.

Not keen on Monty or Tate.

Like Teddy as a nn for Theodore or Edward.

[SellFridges]

I like them all, but like Monty the most.

[robynlaurie]

I love Albie. would have used this if I had a boy

[MerryMarigold]

Don't think Monty is a dog name. Only one I know is a child! Love Evan. Don't like Bowie much, just a bit too...I dunno, try hard, in memoriam-ish (morbid)...but I like the rest.

[maitaimojito]

I prefer Tate from those you have listed.

I think with Albie you'd need Albert on the BC as Albie might be a bit babyish once he's a teen/adult.

Bowie is ok if you're a fan but I think it would annoy me with the two different pronunciations (some people say bow as in crossbow and some say it as in take a bow.

[ANewLittleBoy]

I think my favourite is Monty

[WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup]

I say it like that maita!

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

Ah thank you so much for all the replies. Massive Bowie fan and its DHs fave but as much as I like a different name I don't want the boy to be teased.

Glad to see some good reactions to Monty. We really like it I've never heard it before and those are the types of names I love. I think it goes quite well with his brothers name Teddy. I don't have to call out to the older boys much as they are 11 & 9 so mostly play computer games/board games/read in their stinky bedrooms

[Pepsioften100]

Rafferty and albie/Albert
I like monty but there is a dog association for me.
Others are a no for me

[thumb3lina]

I like Monty, Albie and Rafferty.

[LadyAntonella]

Oops sorry OP - missed the part where you said you already have a Teddy! . It's a good job I said I like it!!!

[albertcampionscat]

Tate by a long way.

[TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong]

Albie

[DramaAlpaca]

I like Rafferty & Monty with your other boys' names.

[Noodlebugs1981]

Rafferty is absolutely gorgeous!! Name jealously

[RiverTam]

Rafferty or Tate.

[TooManyJars]

Love Rafferty!

[sonlypuppyfat]

My friends dad kept loads of rabbits, they were all called Monty

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

Bowie is awesome. No one will tease Bowie!

Also like Albie and Monty.

[Ilovenannyplum]

I love love love Albie

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

Eek it's so close. I've added up the votes
Albie 8
Rafferty 7
Monty 7
Tate 3
Bowie 3

[Sophronia]

I think Rafferty goes best with your sons names

[BeauticianNotMagician81]

Anymore opinions it's so close that I still don't know which one to go for. DH keeps changing his mind two. It's difficult having 4 of the same sex when it comes to names aargh

[RiverTam]

I wouldn't go for Bowie. I don't know about other people but I spend his entire life unsure how to pronounce it, and hearing different pronunciations on the radio.
