Help

We can't decide

We like Henry and Arthur and Ollie but very close family have them

My Favourites are Hugo, Oscar or George

Husband likes Dylan or Benjamin

Can you think of any other even mediums and only one we both are ok with is George and it's quite common..

Also want to use the name Alfred in the name so where too

Any inspiration will be helpful!

Can you use Alfred for his first name? There are lots of Freddie’s around but not many actual Alfred’s. I like it

Any of your names are nice though I think Hugo sounds like a very posh child! Ollie (short for Oliver?) is lovely but there are SO many of them no, same with Oscar but lots of them............

George Alfred is good.
My personal favourite is Dylan.

How about Peter? Traditional like others on your list but I don't know any under the age of about 18!

My favourite is Oscar Alfred but Hubby can't get his head around the name Oscar

George Alfred maybe the even medium

My mum says it's too popular (although I don't know any) and people will call him Georgie Porgie, but surely
Ever name has nicknames and stuff. Doesn't bother me that much

Ollie is my nephew or would've been a good choice

Oscar is pretty popular at the moment round here (London). Along with Freddie, it's the most common in our Primary school.
