Harry, Toby or Oscar?

42 replies

Expecting DC2 - a boy. We already have a girl Freya.

DH loves Oscar but I’m not 100% convinced. I have always loved Toby but would be Toby on bc (not Tobias or Tobin) and not sure if it’s enough!

Love Harry but DH out off by popularity but I’m not bothered about that. Oscar and Toby arnt popular at all in our neck of woods (n.ireland).

Looking for opinions on people’s prefernces. Middle name will be Patrick.

Thanks in advance!

@jaz32 - i think that’s what’s holding me back from using Toby. I love it but just not sure its enough. Who knew naming a baby was so hard eh! Thanks again.

Harry is my favourite would have been my youngest child if she was a boy. Despite it being in top 5, I only know 3 - aged 10, 4 and 1 and the 10 year old has a sister called Freya lol!

Oscar second and Toby last. I just don't see Toby as a strong name for some reason although I don't dislike it.

Toby

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:35

Suggested Monty as I know a Toby with a brother called Monty.

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:34

I like all three of your names.

HairyToity · 09/05/2019 17:33

Thanks @hairytoity - trust me, this is us having gone back endlessly! Literally the only 3 we both agree on but just have different favourites. Maybe we’ll know when baby arrives - here’s hoping!
