Brother for Edward??

30 replies

His nn is Ted but mainly goes by Edward.

I like traditional names - George, Harry etc.
Dh likes more unusual names...

We agree on:
Nicholas - doesn't work with our surname
Francis- can't agree how to pronounce it as north/south family divide!
Wilfred- name of close friends child

Any other suggestions??

Great suggestions everyone. Now need to go through them with dh.

Francis is just the 'a' vowel. To me he would be francis with a long southern vowel in the middle. To everyone else he would be plain northern Francis and I don't like being outnumbered!

Sorry I’m probably being stupid but what are the different ways of pronouncing Francis?
