Don't know what we are having yet but have settled on a girl's name..really happy with it
But no boys name is standing out to us.
I quite like Benjamin but my DH has lots of Ben friends so isn't as keen.

Last name only has 4 letters.

I have a Freddie and a Bertie, OP (Alfred and Albert). They get lots of compliments on their names and there are barely any other Freddies and no Berties (they are both under 10).

I love Austin actually! My dad would love it too as he has an Austin 3l car and always goes on about "the mighty Austin" haha.
Will run it by my DH :)

Amber is lovely @Horehound
What about
Austin
Chester

A friend of mine had an Arthur, and followed up with a Fred. Not Frederick or Freddie. Fred.

My brain went with Thomas as a brother for Arthur.

BellaVida · 02/06/2021 14:52

Edmund
Sebastian
Frederick
Wilfred
Leopold

If you want a boy’s name similar to Amber, what about Ambrose or Aubrey?

itsgettingwierd · 02/06/2021 14:50

Under rated even.

itsgettingwierd · 02/06/2021 14:50

Amber is lovely. Such an underaged girls name IMO.

For boys how about

George
Harrison/Harry
Alfie
Lucas
Sebastian/Seb
Caleb

Benjamin is my most favourite boys name ever, but I wouldn't team it with Arthur TBH.

Arthur and:

Cedric
Barnaby
Ewan
Peter
David
Graeme
Mason
Robert
Carl
George

Matthew could be a good option too actually.

Maxwell would be shortened to max and it won't go well with the last name. Stupid last name

I know an Arthur who has brothers, Matthew, Nathan, Benjamin, Samuel and Elijah

hello lovely! I'm expecting a little girl and me and my husband have decided to let our other little girl think of a name for her.
At first she did think it was a boy so she said Danny for a boy. And yes I know you can name a girl that but we said no.
So she is now choosing between Rosie and Amy. You can have one because I think she's settling for Rosie.

Hope this helped! xx
