Edward's brother is called...

Have one ds, Edward but always known as Eddie. Expecting another boy, and stuck for names.

A few clues -
Surname is about as common as it gets, begins with J. I love Oliver, but think that with the surname it's too much.

Mustn't begin with J or B.

Go.... (thanks :))

Thank you for the ideas everyone, definitely plenty to work with :)

Pete always makes me smile, its my DP's default name for anyone when he can't remember their name - "y'know.. Pete". Poor kid would have a right complex haha!!

Christopher (my bro has Edward as his middle name and is called Christopher ) and Lawrence is COOL! And I would say Larry for short rather than Loz.

Or Christian which I love, despite not being one. Grin

In our extended family, Edward's brother is Charles. Ned and Charlie.

I like Edward and Peter.

Not Jacob, ffs.

I think Christopher is sweet, and goes well with Edward. Or how about:

Peter (Petey/Pete)
Nicolas (Nick/Nico)
Charles (Charlie)
William (Will)
Benjamin (Ben/Bennie)
Thomas (Tom/Tommy)
