Opinions? Francis is currently the chosen middle name due to husbands family, but it could be changed!

Edward Francis!
Frederick Francis doesn't work with the double F and Alfie/Oliver are too popular.
Alfred is nice if you use Freddie as a nn

Frederick is my favourite, but it doesn't work well with Francis.

So, Edward Francis. Smile

Edward. How about you combine the names to get Fredward (a joke but it's cute).

Alfred

It is for his valiant defence of his kingdom against a stronger enemy, for securing peace with the Vikings and for his farsighted reforms in the reconstruction of Wessex and beyond, that Alfred - alone of all the English kings and queens - is known as 'the Great'.

I love Alfred, Frederick, and Edward. Not so keen on Oliver.

I have a Frederick (Freddie) Smile and was gutted when I realised I couldn't really also have an Alfred. Luckily dc2 was a girl.

Edward goes best with Francis, I think.
