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!

Hugo

I think Eddie is an absolutely brilliant name but couldn't use it

Or Patrick or Hugh

Patrick. Not Partick- that's quite different!

sausagesandwich34 · 10/01/2013 18:36

I think Theo is too close to Thomas

I like Hugo

seeker · 10/01/2013 18:35

Or Partick. Best name ever!

seeker · 10/01/2013 18:35

Edward.
Or Theodore.

But Edward.

Love Monty, Henry and Hugo in that order.

Theo is nice but rather popular where I am and I think it will date quite quickly.

Edward I find v dull sorry.

Thanks all!
Can't go with Matthew, Alexander or James as 1st cousins of my boys have those names - though I also like Jago (welsh for James).
Archie I like but Archibald is quite a first name!
I had also quite wanted a different initial to other boys hence hesitation over Theo but I do like it!

I know lovely little boys with all those names. Discount Henry if dh doesn't like. The Edwards I know are Ed or full name so don't think Ted a problem. Monty and Hugo are,imvho, a step up in poshness from your 3 ds' names-which is fine, but something to think about. I have taught Edwards and Theos from across the social spectrum, Hugo and Monty are quite specific!

HappyJustToBe · 10/01/2013 15:15

I think Henry or Edward goes best with your DS's names. Don't particularly dislike any but don't think Monty goes quite as well.

Congratulations Smile

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 10/01/2013 15:15

I really like Henry and Monty. Not a fan of Hugo or Theo and while I like Edward I do think avoidance is best if you can't have Ted as a NN.

To throw in some extra suggestions,

Elliott
Christopher / Kit
Alexander / Xander

Would you consider Seb or Sterling?

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 10/01/2013 15:14

Theo or Monty
