A brother for Lucy

DD is Lucy. I like names that are probably a bit boring - my favourites at the moment are Samuel (Sam) and Benjamin (Ben). DH isn't keen on those, he likes Robert and George best at the moment. It's also a bit tricky as our surname is k-i-n-g, which rules out certain names (eg Jacob is nice but gets shortened to Jake, which sounds very phlegmy with a K surname!)

Names I quite like but cannot use include William, Matthew and Thomas.

Any other ideas?

My first thought - just reading the title - was Robert.
Then I also thought these could work:
Thomas
Rupert
William
James
Tristan

I don't think you can use any Royal names without it sounding a bit odd.

George King = King George
William King = King William etc.

YouBoggleMyMind · 27/10/2016 13:11

Alfie? My DN is called Lucy and my her little brother is called Alfie.

NappingRabbit · 27/10/2016 13:11

I came on to say Ben or William.

Other suggestions:
Oliver
Jack (prob not great with King though)
Harry
James
Max
Noah

I was going to suggest Joseph too but I assume Joe King is out.

The no list is absolutely emphatically no.

There are some nice names here to think about, thanks everyone, keep them coming :)

I love the name Tom with Lucy but you have said you can't have Thomas. Is that no list definitely no?
