What are all your thoughts on Cedric?. His brothers would be Arthur, Lorcan and John.

Other suggestions welcome.

Seems like very mixed reviews at the minute. It’s the only name that’s reallt felt like the one but will keep on looking and come back to this later

I like it, it has good associations for me as I used to work with a charming and funny Cedric.

Sallygoroundthemoon · 21/10/2018 18:18

Not a fan and I immediately thought of Cedric Diggory too...

I really dislike it. I really like all of your other DC names though!

Fab name.

We do like Eric too but I think Cedric goes better with sibling names

Love this! But then I love Cecil too!

TheDowagerCuntess · 21/10/2018 11:02

It's bloody awesome. Especially with those brothers.

Reminds me of Cecil. Unusual. I like it as a name But not sure about calling a child that name, now. Split.

What sort of high school will he be going to?

mimibunz · 21/10/2018 10:54

Makes me think of Cedric the Entertainer. Don’t like it.

CarryOnScreamingValenta · 21/10/2018 10:53

I really like it.

daisypond · 21/10/2018 10:49

No. I really dislike it. Erik/Eric?

himym · 21/10/2018 10:47

I like it.

My first thought is Harry Potter, but that’s not a bad thing.

It’s a nice name and goes really well with your other sons’ names.
