I know two Nicholas' (teens) one had a brother Andrew the other Jonathon.

[pieceofpurplesky]

Hmmm '. Maybe that should be two Nicholi

Without seeing your shortlist, just your title, I thought Daniel would go really well.

[CommonFramework]

Was thinking of names that would go with Nichoals and came up with Alexander (Nic and Alex sounds lovely)
Josh
Zachary/Zac
Thomas
Daniel

and didn't realise they were on your list!

Not Michael - nice name but Mick/Mike and Nic doesn't sound nice
Not Christian - don't know why
I like Joseph but not Joe

[Garnethair]

Jonathon

[notMarlene]

Christian I'd avoid. Are you Christians can you expect DS to be (and remain) one? Might Christopher might be an alternative for you?

[TDmoocher]

I like Christian

Also

Sebastian
David
Dominic
William

[FatOldBag]

I like Joseph but not Joe That's what dh says, but that was my favourite!

Yes we are Christian, broadly - more in the cultural sense than religious (Christmas, Easter eggs, not regular church-goers). Good point I suppose that it's a thing as well as name, he might end up Buddhist or staunch atheist or something. I'm not too keen on Christopher though.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

[notMarlene]

Joseph is great.

I know a little Seph (or maybe it's Seff, not seen it written down) but I don't know if that's a name that'd work as an nn in the UK.

[deste]
