Reckon I've got a girls' name sorted. Boys I find IMPOSSIBLE
I quite like
Johnny, Harry, Edward (but not Ed), Jamie, a few others.
But nothing leaps out and says YES.
Any thoughts?

I know a Martha and Max sibling set

DN is Edward nn Ted and I love it

William, Alexander, George ? Something biblical perhaps ? Reuben, Gabriel, Dominic, Joel, Noah, Tobias

I love Ted too Tillyscoutsmum. Like Max too. I find the biblical names a bit serious. I like boys names that are friendly and a bit cuddly. (Is that wrong???)

PS the thing is about Ted can you then stop others calling him Ed? If could stick with Ted might go for that. I think it's gorgeous.

Arthur

Sorry had to.....

Theo (or Theodore) I think is cute and frendly.

He will become a Ted or a Teddy but never an Ed!

Tillyscoutsmum · 06/04/2009 11:47

I quite like cuddly and friendly names too My favorites are Barney, George and Fergus

DN is only 4 but so far, everyone refers to him as Ted but I suppose he/others might change it to Ed when he's older. I can't really imagine a teenage boy wanting to be referred to as Ted

Henry?

I've got a henry and arthur so think henry and martha sounds nice too

Also think johnny and martha sound lovely.

Johnny was the fave till a friend said "what about rubber johnnies" which put me off. But does anyone call them rubber johnnies any more?

They do still get called 'johnnies' yeah.
but i still think it's a cool name.

traceybath · 06/04/2009 12:02

I don't think they get called rubber johnnies by the younger generations do they?

However i always think of the shining and 'where's johnny?' but i still think its a lovely name.

Tillyscoutsmum · 06/04/2009 12:08

Johnny with always be Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing to me So not a bad association

Nancy66 · 06/04/2009 12:08

'johnnies' rather than 'rubber johnnies' - yes, think this is still pretty common speak for condoms.
