Looking for a name to go with his sisters names. We often shorten the girls names so looking for something with a nice diminutive too. Like Arthur and Spencer atm but not keen or Art/Artie or Spence. Any names we may not have thought of mumsnetters?

I know it can't really be shortened, but the first name that came into my mind to go with Evelyn and Mabel was Jude.

Evelyn, Mabel & Jude

Had twins in my family called Evelyn and Edwin (Evie &Eddie) also Albert and Herbert oh and Percy. I personally love all of these names and they were wonderful people too.

We have an Arthur . I also dislike Art/Artie but it never seems to come up. He’s just Arthur. We love the name and it’s admired where we live (US) - less of a trend here than it seems it has been recently in UK. Like your girls’ names! My grandmother was Mabel.

Laurence, nn Laurie.

I know a Mabel who's brothers are William and Sidney if that helps at all.

TheVoiceOfTreason · 19/12/2017 18:59

They are good solid old fashioned names so Albert, Stanley or Sidney would work well (my Grandpa was Sidney so I'm biased towards that!)

I also love Isaac - my first choice for if I have a boy next time...

Another vote for Wilfred nn Wilf.
If DC3 had been a boy we'd have gone for Wilfred. Also like Albert nn Bert.

I thought Stanley initially
