Choices for boy #3

28 replies

Tryingtodecideboy3name · 25/03/2016 19:37

I've name changed as some of my other posts and details on this post will give me away and I know a few real life friends who use the site too...

Anyway, we've recently found out we're having a third boy and struggling to decide on a name or at least one we agree on.

Suggestions so far:
Felix
Alexander
Dominic
Barnaby

Any thoughts/further suggestions?

For info, we already have a Casper and Sebastian.

My favourite is Alexander; then Felix; then Dominic; lastly, Barnaby Smile

Dominic is gorgeous.
Barnaby is my least favourite by far of all those, it's just wet.
Felix - grand but just not as nice as Dominic.
Alexander - perfectly acceptable but dull.
Atticus is very very modern trendy middle class.
Nate is nice but I'd use Nathan or Nathaniel.

I love Barnaby - also like Felix (wanted to add that to my list for DS3 but DH doesn't like it!).

Really not keen on Dominic.

Alexander is nice but a bit dull.

Caspar, Sebastian (your sons have fab names!) and Felix were all on our shortlist for DS last year Smile. I really like Dominic also and quite like Alexander. The only one I don't like at all on your list is Barnaby, for me it has quite a different vibe to the other names. Of the names you posted I'd go with Felix and then Dominic.

Other names on our shortlist were:
Miles
Conrad
Ted (but I dislike Edward and Theodore and detest Teddy!)
Tobias (pronounced the German way Toe-bee-as)
Hugo

I would go for Alexander I think but I like them all and they go well with your other dc names.

Shock I love Sebastian and Felix and Alexander. They are all on my future baby list. Along with Thomas and Atticus. Congrats! Thanks

Love felix and Dominic

Pagetta · 25/03/2016 22:43

Love Alexander and Barnaby (our fave for DS2 at min!)

SoftSheen · 25/03/2016 22:06

All great names, but I think that Felix goes the best with your other two.

Or how about Otto, Magnus or Bruno?

DramaAlpaca · 25/03/2016 21:19

I like Dominic with your other names too.

FarrowandBallAche · 25/03/2016 21:15

Magnus
Arthur

Sophronia · 25/03/2016 20:43

I think Dominic goes really well with your DS names

starkers1 · 25/03/2016 20:36

Love your DS names OP.

Names that would go well-

Louis/Lewis
Laurence
Rex
Jude

Like Dominic and Felix from your names but Rex slightly stronger and better with your DS names.

Look on the Granfather forum for some good names.

Julian was the name that came too mind.

There's a surprising lot of love for Dominic! Husband's #1 choice is Alexander. Mine is Barnaby.
Felix is a late addition (I'm more keen - husband not so into it) and Dominic we both kind of like, but not sure.

I like Atticus, but concerned it's a bit too trendy and of the moment. Quite like Nate, but not sure of Nathaniel - seems quite soft??

I love Barnaby. I think Dominic is a bit square sounding?! Felix and Alexander are nice but very common. What about Atticus or Nathaniel or Beau?

RockUnit · 25/03/2016 19:55

I like Felix and Alexander.

KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth · 25/03/2016 19:53

I love the name Dominic :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/03/2016 19:49

Barnaby - love it
But Dominic good too.
Dislike the other two, sorry.
