Hi all! Just to say our little one was born on Friday morning... and we went with Arthur! It really suits him (he has a cute old man face 😊) and I'm happy we went with it.

Thanks for all the advice/suggestions! Now off to change yet another nappy 😂

Go for Napier

Ha! I was about to post this exact same thread. Boys names are so hard and it's hard to get one to go with Evelyn. Well it's not, but my partner is stubborn as f*.

Rupert.

Ginfizplease · 17/10/2019 15:51

Jonah!

mondler · 17/10/2019 15:47

The Evelyn I know has a brother called Arthur. Our baby's middle name is Jonah and it gets a lot of positive comments (more than his first name lol) x

Ewanthescreamsheep · 16/10/2019 07:54

Arthur from your list, but how about Alistair?

MissHenty · 15/10/2019 21:15

Arthur Felix and Edward are gorgeous names. Arthur and Edward in particular are classics that will go so well with your Dd name

I love Felix too though x

RolytheRhino · 15/10/2019 12:10

Theodore.

@Cbeebiesrehab I love Reuben! That was on a longer list... maybe we need to revisit!

@Mayhemmumma my sister recently had a baby and called him Theo 💗

@071019DD ooh good luck!! Yes hopefully 'the' name will be clear for both of us 😂

Sounds like Arthur and Felix are the fav! With Edward up there.... Will definitely come back and let you know - if we ever choose a name haha! C section on Friday so not long to go

Felix and Edward/Ted/Teddy are both great names and would work perfectly. I don't mind Arthur, which would also work well. Dylan seems a different vibe to me to the more old-fashioned Evelyn. I dislike Jonah - and I don't think it sits well next to Evelyn.

MissHenty · 15/10/2019 07:13

Will you come back and update us @MollyFaith00

KatherineJaneway · 15/10/2019 06:43

Has to be Arthur.

geojojo · 15/10/2019 06:35

Love Jonah. Definitely the best on your list.

Mayhemmumma · 14/10/2019 20:36

Theodore

georgialondon · 14/10/2019 19:35

I think Arthur.

kazza446 · 14/10/2019 19:32

I immediately thought Edward, even before I looked at your last. Evelyn needs a classic old name to go with it. Good luck with your choice x

youllhavehadyourtea · 14/10/2019 19:30

I immediately thought Henry , but from your list Arthur.

071019DD · 14/10/2019 19:26

I like all your names OP, quite similar to my boys list! 41 weeks today and like you hoping "the" name makes itself clear when we finally meet bubba! I found girls names soooooo much easier. Good luck, will you let us know what you name DC?

MondeoFan · 14/10/2019 19:18

Arthur from your list

Ewan from my list

Cbeebiesrehab · 14/10/2019 19:13

Other names we considered were
Wilf
Rowan
Joss
Jesse
Reuben
Seth

Cbeebiesrehab · 14/10/2019 19:07

My daughter is Evelyn (Effie) and my son is Jude :) so they are a good pairing in my eyes I love Felix from your list

daisypond · 14/10/2019 18:59

I strongly dislike Jonah but the others are OK. Edward is my favourite.
