Help - can't name ds4 - here's our shortlist....

65 replies

StealthToddler · 10/01/2013 15:12

So I have 3 boys and ds4 is due in 9 weeks....

So far I have a George, Thomas and Ollie.

We have a shortlist of names which we like but struggling to come to a decision and DH and I have different favourites.

Shortlist is:
Monty (Montague) - bit concerned that too much like a dog's name and the Monty Python connection!
Hugo
Henry (DH doesn't particularly like it)
Theo (Theodore)
Edward (but couldn't use Ted as short name as with our surname would be a clothes label!)

Can't remember the other names we liked as they are on a list at home but will add on to this thread later!

Any other suggestions welcomed!

I like Leigh with the other boys names

HenriettaChicken · 12/01/2013 06:56

James?

Twinklestarstwinklestars · 11/01/2013 13:06

I have a Thomas and an ollie, if dc3 is a boy I like the name Max.

Littlecherublegs · 11/01/2013 12:59

Theo or Hugo from your list.

Though my first thought was James - goes well with your other names.

Of the George's, Thomas', and Ollie's I know, their siblings are:
Arthur
Frank
Daniel

Or, how about:
Alexander
Nicholas
Jacob
Benedict
Noah
Issac
Samuel
Joseph
Leo
Harrison

(sorry for any repeats!)

hoodoo12345 · 11/01/2013 10:03

Another vote for Henry, it seems to match your others children's names the best.

EnjoyResponsibly · 11/01/2013 10:02

Edward nn Eddie

zenoushka · 11/01/2013 10:00

I really like Henry!

SoYo · 11/01/2013 09:59

Once again I've been foiled by the fact that I was only looking at page one....I'll have a quick look down to make sure you've not already excluded lots of these options and then I'll sheepishly move away!

SoYo · 11/01/2013 09:58

Hi Stealth!

Theodore/Theo
Samuel/Sam
Alexander/Alex
Harry
Jacob/Jake
Joseph/Jo/Joey
Charles/Charlie
Dominic/Dom

How come I can find all these ideas for others but cutting our list from 5 of each to one is seemingly impossible! xxx

cosykins · 11/01/2013 08:34

Hugo or Theo, both excellent names. I find Monty very 'doggy' to be honest. Congratulations!!!

Josh?
Harry?
Nicholas?
Joe?
Jacob?
Douglas?
Robin?
Toby?
Duncan?

I like most of your list, but Freddie is great.

Not Archie. There are thousands of 3 year old Archies.

I like Theo(dore), but I'd you're worried about clothes labels it is sometimes also shortened to Ted I am working on DH to use it if DC2 is a boy.

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee · 11/01/2013 05:44

Monty I like this best out of your list and think it's a good fit with your other boys.

Hugo - No, hu go
Henry (DH doesn't particularly like it) Not another one!!
Theo (Theodore) I don't like it

Edward - Eddie ?

I also like

Fredie
Artie
Archie

googietheegg · 11/01/2013 05:37

Rupert
Miles
Jeremy
Angus
William
Charles

mathanxiety · 11/01/2013 05:31

Hugo or Henry

Britchic · 11/01/2013 05:02

Hugo.... we have one and he is Hughie as a nn.
I love Sam too.... but our Sam is one of 4 in his year - ouch!!
Also like Theo from your list.
Good luck!

HenriettaChicken · 11/01/2013 00:51

Ooh yes, Samuel. Lovely.

Clary · 11/01/2013 00:51

OP loving your name ideas. My fave of your suggestions is Henry but if DH is not keen that;s not good. I also like Edward. Don't do alliteration, it's often a bad sign for some reason (IME anyway)

Never mind a fashion label, I see you already live with Dr Who btw Grin

Ham69 · 11/01/2013 00:36

I actually love all of your choices (one's my DS's name).
For some reason, Louis came to mind. Also, have you thought about Benedict instead of Benjamin?

amck5700 · 10/01/2013 23:48

Daniel - been said before but was first name that sprung to mind
Hayden
David
Jacob
Keir
Miles

Bakingtins · 10/01/2013 22:33

Jonathan - he could be Jonty as a NN if you liked Monty.
Reuben
Daniel
Isaac
Harry/Henry

OctoberCarrot · 10/01/2013 21:57

Hugo was top of our list for ds1 but is very popular where I am though I do love name and love love love theo. personallyI would avoid Edward with your surname. How about Alex? Or Jamie?

MajesticWhine · 10/01/2013 21:48

From your list, I really like Theo and Henry.
I love Edward too, but would be put off for the reason you gave.
Not keen on Monty or Hugo.
