Our son's due date is Christmas Day Smile his middle name will be Nicholas.

Our final 7:

  • Alexander Nicholas
  • Benjamin Nicholas
  • Edward Nicholas
  • Frederick Nicholas
  • George Nicholas
  • Louis Nicholas
  • William Nicholas

Which is your favourite?

We like all the potential NNs, but will probably just see what develops - so will probably just be the obvious Alex, Ben, Ed, etc.

Surname is just embarrassing, so I won't put it Grin but it begins with an S and is 2 syllables.

Thank you!!!

Love Louis and Edward.

Also like Nicholas as a first name.....

Rainbowqueeen · 19/10/2016 01:32

Benjamin!

Chinlo · 19/10/2016 01:28

Alexander for sure!

KoalaDownUnder · 19/10/2016 01:01

Alexander or William.

I also hate Frederick/Fred/Freddie.

LucyBabs · 19/10/2016 00:57

Alexander definitely Smile

I really dislike Freddie recently... Its just too "made in Chelsea" or something.. it is a great name but just the associations are fake.. Such a pity..

Anyway congrats plum Flowers

I like Benjamin Smile

sonlypuppyfat · 19/10/2016 00:48

Fred makes me angry such an ugly name, the rest of your names are nice

CakeRattleandRoll · 19/10/2016 00:43

Favourites are Edward and Louis.

BeastofCraggyIsland · 19/10/2016 00:37

They're all lovely, you have excellent taste in names! My favourite is Alexander but I also love Edward and William; least favourite would be Louis but it's not a bad name or anything, I just prefer the others.

I like Edward best. All are fine, but I'm not keen on Louis. Initials ANS might get him the nickname "Anus" (would have done at DH's school!) so that might put me off Alexander.

YellowPirate · 19/10/2016 00:06

I like Frederick best I think. Fred or Freddie are really nice nicknames. I also like Louis but think it could cause pronunciation problems (I would assume Louie but I expect a lot of people would say Lewis). X

IamSwitzerland · 19/10/2016 00:05

Alexander is my favourite, please avoid

Fred Nic
Ed Nic
Bill Nic
Willy Nic
Lou Nic

You see where I am going with this? I think the trick is to pick the name you like and then also the nickname so it can be implemented early before school starts and chooses one you don't want. Love the christmas referencing Grin

QuodPeriitPeriit · 19/10/2016 00:00

I love them all, and can't decide - you have great taste in names!

Alexander Nicholas S_ is lots of s sounds so I might avoid that, and George is my least favourite of what's left, but beyond that I like them all.

You can't go wrong really!

Edward Nicholas!
