Had a boy in the early hours of this morning and we are struggling for a name for him.
He has a brother James William and sisters Elizabeth Rose and Florence May.
I like Alexander, Henry, Thomas, Edward ( love Ted) Luke.
Charles is a family name but I'm not sure as a first name but I would be happy as a middle name.
Our surname starts with L and ends in a eeeee sound ( as in teddy)
What else might I like? Fire away! Thank you.

We went with Alexander Charles in the end....can't believe he is now 8 months old and sitting up! Time really does fly🐝
Needless to say I'm the only one still calling him Alexander! Everyone else has already shortened him to Alex!
Thanks for all your help ladies. 🙂

Thanks everyone.....and thanks sequence and eggs for the epic lists!
I quite like Robert but husband is less keen.....I also quite like George.
I really like Henry and wish we could go with it but I just feel it's too popular.....
He can't be nameless forever!!!

In the same position here with similar taste in names! Ds2 born yesterday evening and we can't agree. We already have Edward Frank John.

Names we can't use but would if not already taken are Frank and Charles (Charlie).

Our shortlist so far:
Henry
Sebastien
Frederick (Fred, not keen on Freddie)
Ernest
Lewis
Louis

So difficult! For a girl we would have gone with Matilda or Florence

numbmum83 · 07/09/2017 03:18

I would say Henry or Edward go vest with your other children's name's, They have royalty sounding names ..

George
Harry
Rueben

numbmum83 · 07/09/2017 03:16

Edward or Henry would be the 2 names I would put with your other children's name's. You have a royal theme in a sort of way going on !

Aquamarine1029 · 07/09/2017 02:48

Apparently Benjamin is a possibility. But Alexander is now definitely not.....which is a shame because I had virtually decided was the name!!!! Apparently if I had pinned him down earlier in the day, he would have agreed to Alexander but now he doesn't want it!!!! Sigh!
