Currently over due and trying to narrow down our name selection as we keep changing our minds!

Bump has been Buddy all through but i was never keen as a first name and a couple of people have named their boys Buddy this year.

Our favourites at the moment are
Issac
Otto
Edward (Eddie)

Mine is Stanley after my grandad but husband doesn't like that!

Arthur always been my fave too but now it's risen so much in popularity im not so keen as a first name

I have an Isaac....
So of course I'm going to tell you it's a great name!
My OH chose it actually, I wasn't sure at first, but now I love it, suits him and its not an overused name, I haven't heard of many Isaacs since having him.

Love Otto!

AdaColeman · 22/11/2019 22:16

Edward is my favourite. I'm not keen on Otto, and Isaac is already very popular.

Astronica · 22/11/2019 22:15

Edward/Eddie is the standout name on your list for me.

Otto is lovely!!

what about Theodore (nickname Teddy) which is similar to your bump name buddy

Thetimetravelerswife · 22/11/2019 22:04

Edward

If you've discounted Arthur due to popularity then I wouldn't go for Isaac, absolutely loads of them around! Great name though.

Otto is my favourite though (and was on my list for DS4).

I really like Isaac, it's a strong, classic name. I don't really think you can go wrong and Isaac Arthur sounds very handsome

I'm not keen on Otto. There was one a few years below me when I was at school (15 years ago) and I've never taken to it. I do like Otis though which is quite similar

Edward is nice enough but I know 3 baby Edwards born this year.

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/11/2019 21:57

Isaac then Otto for me. I like Stanley though, can you have it as a middle name?

skylighting · 22/11/2019 21:55

Otto is my favourite.

Otto, Isaac and Eddie are great names - you can’t go wrong with them! I don’t really want to suggest any others as you already have a great list 😊

Tayx · 22/11/2019 21:16

I think Otto is super cute 😍

MrsBertBibby · 22/11/2019 21:08

Isaac is best, then Edward.

Otto is really not good.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/11/2019 21:07

I love Otto.
I really can’t understand this Arthur obsession.
