I always knew my first son would be called James. And my second Robert. I am a Scot and those names are important to me. Weirdly I seem to have dated more than my fair share of guys named James.. Which could make Christmas very confusing. Grandpa James (my daddy) , James (my hubby) and son (James)

I like George best of your choices. Hunter is a bit.... well, I can see a possible rhyming problem when he reaches secondary school. Sorry, but just being honest about what came to mind.

Harrison is okay. I prefer Henry (Harry or Hal as possible nicknames if you want one).
Alistair, Arthur, Fred, John ....?

If in doubt. Use a family name. It makes everyone proud and gives a sense of respect and care.

Thank you for your options and suggestions!

We love Moah so that's for that - just unsure if it does with an A surname

Also like Arlo which was suggested to us today.

As an aside our girls choice is Esme - would love to hear MN thoughts!!! Shock
