We've whittled down to three names at the moment.
Stanley Thomas
Thomas Stanley
Alexander James

Our surname is a one syllable name, hence the longer names

Thanks in advance

I like Stanley Alexander.

Less common first name. And every child has James in middle it seems. I don't like Thomas at all

Thomas Stanley :)

I know it's not on your list, but I also like Thomas James.

LotsofDots · 18/05/2016 19:49

Stanley Thomas. Stan is a great name, I can't convince DH though.

Leigh1980 · 18/05/2016 19:47

Sense not dense 😂

Leigh1980 · 18/05/2016 19:47

Definitely Alexander James. Hearing the name Stanley makes me think of the kid in Sixth Dense shouting "Staring Stanley!" Don't like Stanley. Like the other three so maybe Alexander James Thomas which sounds really good.

Thank you for your thoughts! Because we're keeping the names from our families, we haven't got anyone to share any opinions. Thank you dontkillmyvibe, I couldn't work out why beau had said not ST. I promise our surname doesn't start with I or D! That would be a definite no no! Xx

Alexander James here too.

NotYoda · 18/05/2016 18:42

Alexander James

(I am trying not to think about that twat from Blur who makes cheese)

Stanley Thomas is also nice

DontKillMyVibe · 18/05/2016 18:41

Stanley Thomas

Beau what's wrong with the initials ST? Unless the OP's surname begins with D I can't see any issue?

GottaGetThisDone · 18/05/2016 18:34

I know its not on your list but i like Stanley Alexander

Dogolphin · 18/05/2016 17:50

Stanley Thomas

Agree that Thomas/Tom and Alex are so so popular already... I also know quite a few girls called Alex (Alexandra).

AmysTiara · 18/05/2016 14:35

Any name except Stanley

anniebambammie · 18/05/2016 14:32

Alexander James! Or even the other way around.

BikeRunSki · 17/05/2016 22:44

Stanley Thomas for me.

Thomas is lovely, but soooo popular!!

PunkAssMoFo · 17/05/2016 22:43

Stanley James.

BeauGlacons · 17/05/2016 22:35

Love Stanley, Thomas, James and Alexander. Please don't give your son the initials ST.

Purplehonesty · 17/05/2016 22:31

Alexander james is really lovely.

Damn it why didn't I think of that....

AtiaoftheJulii · 17/05/2016 22:31
