Brother for Giles

Had our 20 week scan today and found out that we are having a boy, very excited! 😀

Trouble is that we have no boys names...

We have a 2 year old DS called Giles, whose name we still love. We like unusual yet still quite traditional names. If it was a girl, our shortlist was Astrid, Ivy and Margot.

So far we have:
Hugo
Edgar

All ideas welcome!

Rupert Giles was a character in Buffy the Vampire slayer.

You must have a Wesley OP Grin

Giles and Rupert is perfect imo.

I agree with pipi, why not?

pipilangstrumpf · 03/05/2017 10:43

Thanks so much for the suggestions everyone!

I've added Jonah, Seth, Edmund,
Edgar, Elliot and Caspar to the short list.

And I love the name Rupert, but we can't have a Rupert and a Giles! Grin

Hugh
Guy

Jonathan ( nn Jonty)

Second or third Edmund . DS's name. It has made him normally named but different from all the Edwards.

Edgar
Harvey
Adrian

And finally, the names of five brothers we used to know.

Julian
Sebastian
Tarquin
Tamburlaine
