DC1/DS due early Oct. DH and I had a tough time agreeing on a name but finally settled a couple of months ago on Alfred Eric. It was initially my suggested and DH not keen but then he came round and now really loves it. And I did initially too! But now I'm having a wobble!

What do you all think? Not sure I can face going back to the name books again as we had such a tough time finding one we both liked before... I seem to go through phases with names - find one I love for a few weeks, then start having doubts. Although I should mention this is not unlike me - decisiveness not my strong point and I do have a tendency to overthink...

I also really like Isaac but don't think that goes with Eric, which is important for me to include for family reasons. Also love Arthur, but close relative has that name so can't use it.

Help! What do you all think? Advice/suggestions welcome!

I quite like Alfred but can't stand Alfie. So I would choose Arthur.

Alfred is lovely, as is Isaac and Arthur but Alfred is more uncommon. Also plenty of nn options. I think Alfred Eric or Arthur Eric sound best, not sure on the flow of Isaac Eric
