Struggling to condense it any further, baby coming in 2 weeks!! What's your favourite? X

I love George and William. I tried to persuade DH to call DS George (my Dad's middle name), but he hated it.

Like others above, Arnold could grow on me. As I don't know a child in RL called it, I think of Terminator, Rimmer and Hey Arnold, but if I met one in RL I'd think of them instead IYSWIM.

Don't like Sonny at all, I'm afraid.

George (DS2) or William (middle name of DS) Smile

I know a boy called Arnold with the nickname Arnie! I love it. I wouldn't go with George as there is going to be so many this year. I quite like William too.

William, Arnold, George then Sonny, in order of preference.

JacqueslePeacock · 16/08/2013 23:00

Is Sonny short for something? Could be OK as a nickname...

Onesleeptillwembley · 16/08/2013 22:58

Sonny is fucking awful. George will look like you're a sheep, with the royyal one, sadly.

Sarahlundismyhero · 16/08/2013 22:49

William without a doubt!

Retroformica · 16/08/2013 22:47

George and William

Doilooklikeatourist · 16/08/2013 22:46

Sonny- awful
Arnold - not much better
William - family name , love it
George - DS 1 name , love it too

My order for them would be - William, George, Arnold (and then some way behind them) sonny.

Bowlersarm · 16/08/2013 22:42

William

Def not Sonny.

Ihatepeas · 16/08/2013 22:41

Love William and George.
Really not sure about Arnold, could defiantly grow on me I think.
I hate Sonny awful awful name. (sorry)

Vijac · 16/08/2013 21:29

William I love. George is nice. Arnold and Sonny not so much (Sonny last by quite a way).

SoftSheen · 16/08/2013 21:27

George and William are both great, Arnold is OK but Sonny is absolutely dire- please don't do this to your son!

LynetteScavo · 16/08/2013 21:26

Arnold! It's such a brilliant name. Smile

I also like Sonny a lot.

George is OK - not at all keen on William.

Sonnys always been my favourite but DH afraid it's too unusual and therefore abit 'chavvy' (no flaming his words not mine)
