Help with boys' names please

[bellamcpoopants]

Expecting baby number four, just found out it will be a boy and completely stuck with boys' names!

I already have an Alexander (Alex), Gabriel (Gabe) and Isabella (Bella). I prefer classic names that can be shortened. We went for Isabella last time but my misgiving was that it would be too popular, and totally proved correct as there are three in her nursery class! So preferably something outside of the top ten. Our surname is short (one syllable).

Dh likes George, but doesn't love (and can't be shortened).

I love Montgomery (Monty) but dh just thinks of the Simpsons.

Joseph
James
Sebastian
Dominic
Nathaniel
Jacob
Jasper
Heath
Cameron
Fergus

We have an Isabella and also call her Bella but I don't mind the popularness - most people shortern to issy too. Popular names are popular because they are lovely!

How about...
Sebastian (Seb)
Zachary (Zac)
Elijah (Eli)
Theodore (Theo or Teddy)
Maxwell (Max)
Nathaniel (Nate)

I like classic names that can be shortened too - we considered:

Alistair (Ally)
Daniel (Danny)
Laurence (Laurie)
William (Will/Billy)

I love Monty but the look DH gave me when I suggested it told me it was a no-go

Some great suggestions.

Edward was our boy name last time, but an old friend of mine (and also one of my NCT group) have used it, so not sure whether I still love it as much as I used to (as now it's more associated with their boys in my mind). We'd have called him Ted.

I do like Theodore but dh sings the chipmunks when I suggest it

I like Joseph, but not sure about short versions. Same goes for James and Benedict. And love Hugo but same issue as George with no short version.

Sebastian (Seb), Tobias (Toby) and Nathanial (Nate) are all lovely.

Please keep the suggestions coming!!
