But this is DH's shortlist... any thoughts?

My DD is Matilda (But we call her Tilly.)

Harry
Samuel
Wilbur
Felix
Jasper
Flynn
Chester
Rafferty
Edward (nn Teddy)
Wilson
Rupert
Theo
Henry

Or any suggestions in the same vein? I'm trying to think of what we call a second tier name.. nothing too normal, but not too out there iyswim. When I thought of Matilda for my DD I LOVED it, and I felt really excited. No boys names do that for me!! Help please....

Peter, Nathaniel, Adam, Aaron? Bartholomew? You could call him Tolly. :o Tilly and Tolly sounds like a nursery rhyme.

Everett?

I love Edward, but I would have reservations about Tilly and Teddy. Sounds like a new children's TV show. My favourites from your list are Wilbur, Rupert and Theo.

Is James too everyday? I think Tilly and James is nice. Or what about Wilfred? Archie?

IAmRubyLennox · 25/02/2012 23:10

. Both my DSes are in your list, OP!

I like Henry, Felix, Edward and Samuel best of your list. Also like Theo as nickname.

Harry - would only use as nn for Harry
Samuel - like
Wilbur - too "old man"
Felix - like
Jasper - OK
Flynn - too surnamey and similar to the faddy popular Finn
Chester - again, too surnamey/place namey
Rafferty - too frilly
Edward (nn Teddy) - like Edward, but not Teddy
Wilson - surname
Rupert - too posh
Theo - like, but would use Theodore as full name
Henry - like

Harry - loads of them around but nice
Samuel - like this a lot
Wilbur - not sure
Felix - no, reminds me of cat food
Jasper - wasps
Flynn - trying too hard imo
Chester - not sure
Rafferty - ummm
Edward (nn Teddy) - LOVE
Wilson - Pickett
Rupert - OK
Theo - OK
Henry -OK

How about

Hugo
Hugh
Jonathan
