Brother for Henry...

We have a Henry Solomon, and am expecting another boy shortly. Any ideas please?! I love Rudi or Dominic or Benedict but OH not keen. I quite like crazy names but they might sound odd with very classic Henry. Help!

I have a henry, it's a lovely name Grin I also like Edward, James, William and George. Think I might have a bit of a 'royal' theme going in here!

Rufus or Barnaby are both fabulous. I love Henry and was contemplating it for DD (obv before we knew she was a girl). I have a George but am guessing that is now not an option. I think something a little more out there but still old fashioned. Hence Barnaby or Rufus. I would almost have another baby just to call him Barnaby.

These are great.

I really like Felix, but Henry and Felix does sound like a pair of kittens to me!

Patrick I love, but is already in the family. It has exactly that perfect mix of classic but unusual I'm looking for though!

Keep 'em coming!
