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?

Jack is nice but no good, you either get jacking or a phlegmy sound again.

I can't say James properly! It sounds funny coming from me :)

I like Alexander but my very best friend has one. I know too many Anthonys that I haven't liked... Edward is ruled out (shame, I love Edward nn Ted) as our surname would make the poor sod a potato.

Ben is the name that came to mind when I read your thread title.
