Hi, we are expecting a third boy and are really struggling to choose a name! We already have Bobby and Billy. I quite like Ralph/Ralphie and dad likes Bertie but we're not convinced on either. I don't mind whether it begins with 'b' or ends in an 'eee'. I like cute names!

Barry 😂

I'd love to hear the reactions to baby Barry.

I knew someone who called her baby Colin, but Barry is even better.

Bobby is his christened name but it is a nod towards Robert after his uncle rob. Bobby charlton and Moore are/were both adults lol!! But I do get what you're saying about being able to have options to make it less cute for when they're older. my late dad was John so we are hoping to use John for the middle name. I quite like a name that's a bit less well-used.

Assuming Bobby is a Robert then not Albert/Bertie as it's too similar. Bertie always seems a bit wet to me, and Ralphie is surely only OK for a very small child. I can't imagine a teenage Ralphie! I get that you like cute OP but your children may want options when they get older. For example I know lots of adult Bob/Rob/Roberts but no adult Bobbies. One Bert which I guess you could have from Bertie too (like your Bobby/Billy could opt for Bob/Bill if they aren't Robert and William).

What about something like Jonny /Jonathan or John?

Remember little babies with cute names soon grow into men who are anything but cute except to their mums.

I would go for another shortened name but no ee sound on the end. So: Tom Max Joe Con ( short for Cornelius or Conor) or Frank
Or if you want the ee sound Joey or Charlie

Oh what adorable names. Are they Robert and William.
I'd say Bernie but to go with the B theme
but it's too much like Billy, plus. When I say both names it my head I'm getting tongue tied and saying Binny and Berlie

James Jimmy
Douglas Dougie
Albert Albie
Alan. Cute name for a baby now
Vincent Vinnie
Lawrence Larry
Michael Mikey
Richard Richie
Cedric

I came on to say Bertie so he's in with the same theme as his brothers
