Hello,

We’ve found out dc3 is going to be a boy 😊 we already have a girl and a boy; Matilda and Sebastian (Tilly and Seb), so looking for a boys name with a similar feel.

Surname begins with O, so rules out names beginning with B or F to avoid the initials B.O and F.O.. hadn’t thought anything of F.O until a friend pointed out its an acronym for ‘F* off‘ - is that a thing?!

Top contenders so far are:

Charlie
Zachary

Love Theodore but doesn’t work for nn Theo with the O surname annoyingly!

Thoughts on the above or any other suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you!

Love Theodore nn Theo! If you have Theodore as bc name, it should work with your surname? And you would have a middle name to ‘break it up’?

I don’t think Charlie fits at all. It’s very childish/nicknamey/cute compared to both Matilda and Sebastian. Zachary is better, but I don’t think it fits very well either

I like Zachary

I love Theodore and think Ted works well as a nn.

Love Zachary - it was in our top two for 2nd boy, but we went with Orson (“Sonny”) which really suits him. We also have a Gabriel (he gets lots of nice comments about his beautiful and surprisingly unusual name)
