To go with George

Am 38 weeks and hoping to go any day. We are having another boy and had decided on Max but my friend had her baby last week and called him Max so it's now out for us.

Our list had:

James (calling Jamie)
Benjamin (Ben)
Charlie (though would put Charles on birth certificate which I'm not mad on but love Charlie)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

We loved mikey but couldn't have Michael (George and Michael...)

Really struggling. DS1 was named after my late FIL so didn't have this last time.

Our last name starts with an M.

Thanks in advance!

Oh and Matthew
Edward
Dominic....

William.
Luke
Thomas
Joseph
Jacob
Adam
John (I heard John on the telly last night and thought, it's such a lovely name, why does nobody use it anymore?)

I love Ben as well. Benjamin or Benedict are both nice.

I don't see why you can't use Max if you want to. You may not be friends forever and you should use the name you love.

Any classic name would go with George, lots of suggestions above and I'll add Louis & Thomas to those.

We have a Max. The other names on our shortlist were Finn and Toby.

Or you could always use Max if it's not your closest friend!

I had George and Max on my list and some of the previous suggestions too but I also like Gregory, Alexander, Dominic, Felix and Hugo.

Joey? (Joseph)

I love George.

What about Arthur, Henry, Dexter or Lucas?

Fwend · 25/07/2017 12:17

I've got a George.

Other names on our boy list were:

Edward
Henry
Elliot
Sebastian
James

Oh, sorry, did you mean you wanted a name that matched with George. I thought you meant you couldn't use Max so were going to go with George....

Marcipex · 25/07/2017 12:09

I like all of those names better than George.

Anyway, go with Max if you want to, or use Michael, I agree Mikey is a nice name.
