Boys' names to go with Henry

champagnesupernova · 26/05/2010 15:54

I have a very long list of names for a girl but am a bit stuck for a boy. Have loads of time yet but am a bit worried that my boy list is COMPLETELY empty - it took us 48 hours to name DS!

These are the ones I like but can't have due to family already with that name and our surname:

William
Edward
Charles
Thomas

I have a Henry and Albert known as Albie.
Also took us ages to think of another boys name and there were lots we could not use as well. It has taken me a while to get use to Albie's name mainly becuase we had some negative comments at first, but it really suits him, hes our little Albie, we get compliments now.

Thanks all.

RIchard doesn't go with surname sadly.

Yes, the tank engine thing is a problem! My colleague dreamt I was having a DS while I was in labour with Henry and that I called him Percy!!

I like Leo - hadn't thought of that - am a big West Wing fan, too.

George is a contender - it's DH's middle name and you've reminded me Alexander was on shortlist previously.

I love Henry, George and Leo.

I think either would sit well with Henry.

A few other ideas:

Hugo
Theodore
Jasper
Nathaniel
Oliver
Lucas
Louis
Reuben
Marcus
Sebastian
Peter

Henry and Oliver - that sounds nice, or George x

i would say not Thomas, Edward or James as although these are lovely boys names, when you have two together, Thomas the Tank does spring to mind.

(PPS: i just checked, and there is an oliver and george characters but imo they are not typical of thomas the tank's friends names!)

lol. x

Charles or George would be lovely.

I know siblings Edward, Thomas and Henry and the theme tune goes around in my head whenever I see them together!
