Little brother for Mabel and Stanley

Due in 9 weeks, we have a few names we like but none that we love!

I actually have 7 children but putting all their names would be outing and the youngest two are Mabel and Stanley (called Stan day to day).

I like old fashioned names, we like Sidney, DH loves Buster but it’s too doggy for my liking. I also like Bruno! But I imagine a Bruno to be dark haired and my babies are all blonde and blue eyed.

With all the others I was set in a name right from the beginning so this is a strange feeling! Please give me some ideas and help me find the one!

Stanley's little brother has got to be Dougal.

I've known a couple of people called Rollo. They have pronounced it to rhyme with Hollow.

Melitza · 22/05/2021 21:31

I love Lowen. I think its Cornish.
Also Merlin
And Bromley.

Tavannach · 22/05/2021 21:28

I think Otto doesn’t really go with your other DC’s names. I like Arthur - I don’t think it’s as popular as it used to be.

@olivesnutsandcheeseplease

What about Rollo?
I like rollo, but how is it pronounced? Rolo as in the chocolates, or rollo like hollow?

Ooooh I love Mabel and Stanley OP! DH vetoed both :(

So on the basis that you are of my mind, some other names I like:
George
Frederick
Wilfred
Albert
Arthur
Edwin
Fergus
Henry
Alfred

Some of those are a bit ordinary now (or even in the top 10) tho when my DC were small they were a bit more unusual.

Reads thread: ahhhh both my DS's names are on this thread multiple times :)
