Am 27 weeks with DS2. DS1 is Hugo (middle name Edward) so I do like 'posh' names (if DS2 was a girl, the name was going to be Charlotte or Elizabeth).

The name on the birth certificate will be Barnaby, Montgomery or Frederick.

Which do you prefer? I know these names won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the world would be a boring place etc etc

thanks

Montogomery is gorgeous, classy and elegant and Monty is a cute nickname. Barney is nice too. I'm least keen on Fred/Freddie.

Freddie is very popular here, and one that I know is a complete and utter sod. Barney really is a dinosaur for me, sorry. Or a scruffy boy in a farmyard with hay in his hair, not sure why? Monty is cute, no negative things I can think of there! Go with Monty! My nieces are Charlotte and Elizabeth, their boy name was Daniel but maybe not to your taste?

I would love to meet a young Frederick who is known as Frederick at least some of the time as it is a great name.

I like Monty.

I don't like Barney at all and see as quite the opposite of posh, but that could be just me.

Wow, 3 replies and not one slamming - I have clearly underestimated MN!!

I know that Barney has the big annoying purple dinosaur association, but is that really still current? In my mind it's about as current as Barney Rubble (but that might just be my age talking!)

Owl I like Sebastian too - but it's been 'taken' by a relative so it's out.

Our little girl would have been called Monty had she been a boy.
Love love love that name! I also love the name Sebastian Grin

Monty was our second choice for DS2. Freddie is lovely too but Barney is a dinosaur.

I like Freddie. Monty I like too (will be our dogs name when we eventually get one - not that that should put you off). Barney not so sure about, as we had a rabbit called Barney.
Like Freddie the best and it goes nicely with Hugo I think.
