Hi Ladies
No 3 is due in 6 weeks. We already have an Archie William (5) and a Thomas George (3) who is called Tom.

Have wanted Ned (Edward) forever, but a friend has just used this, and another friend has also had an Edward so am looking at alternatives...

What do you think of Finn? Possibly Finley James but prefer just Finn myself.

So Finn or Ned... ? Surname is 2 syllables and begins with P

Thanks ladies

I LOVE Ned, but everyone north of the border will say NO. It's a derogatory (sp?) term in Scotland.
I also love Finn, but it's become so overused where I live.

I was going to use Benedict nn Ned?

Ooh Ned is lovely, Finn is just too trendy and will date badly.

How about Edwin or Edmund - just to be different? Could still be called Ned.

Ned is the best

Ned is lovely. Don't like Edward.
Finn/Finlay etc is very common.
