Alexander/ Sebastian fine if you can live with the inevitable shortening to Alex and Seb/ Sebby

Two of my sons names are in your list, along with two of their middle names. Grin I'm guessing we have similar tastes. What about Hugh, Peter, Edmund.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I think we've narrowed it down to Freddie or Sebastian but still being indecisive. Hmm

Ok, it's good you've narrowed it down. Wait till he's born. I bet he will look more like one than the other. Smile

Ralph is the name of a penis in the Judy Blume book 'forever'!! So I couldn't get last that!

Love the rest of your list though. Agree Freddie Alexander is my fave

See if he's a Freddie or a Sebastian when he comes out Grin
