Help name Rupert & Dexter's little bro

Youngest baby due soon, and I still have no name :(

I have two sons, Rupert and Dexter. Rupert was named during pregnancy, and Dexter was a name I always wanted to use.

This time round I'm struggling and feel awful.

Any suggestions to go with his brothers names would be greatly appreciated!

Rupert, Dexter and Sebastian. Or Keir, possibly Kit.

By the way I do love all the names 😍😍😍

@Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav no it's fine 😂 it's a valid point seeing as they are all characters. Maybe the third one just pushes it over the edge a bit...

I hate myself for saying this but when I think of Rupert, Dexter and Felix I just think of cartoon characters 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ two are fine especially as dexter is a bit more obscure but hopefully (pretty sure I will be!) the only one who thinks this.

By the way I'm very very sorry 🙏

Barnaby / Barney is a great name! @annielennoxstuckinmyhead

I like Dexter and Rupert. I also agree that Barney, Quentin or Felix would go well.

I'm surprised Felix is coming across as so popular!

@Leopardprintboots yes they are very much a pair 😂, it would be weird if they were called anything else!

I also have the drama of thinking of a middle name as both boys have one. Theirs are male family members names.

Hugo was the first name I thought of.

@annielennoxstuckinmyhead I think Felix is a great name ❤️

I don’t really think about style of name with siblings. I bet everyone that knows your Rupert and Dexter think those two names sound like a pair as they know them as siblings. If that makes sense?! It’s more about the people than the actual names x

@Debbiecurtbag they are very different. When Dexter was born I didn't think about how they would fit. I was just so desperate to use that name 😂
