Hi,

We are expecting a boy and we are looking for name suggestions!! Our daughter is Dorothy Claire and we think baby boy’s middle name will be John, last name starts with M, two syllables.

Throw me some suggestions please :) thank you!!

Dorothy is a lovely name.
It was on my list and DH vetoed it.

I'm in the Walter/ Stanley/ Arthur camp.

Walter would just be gorgeous! Baby Walt just sounds so lovely and refreshing- fits in with all the old man names but is fresh and unusual. So that’s my vote 👍

Oh and Maxwell!

Dorothy Claire and Arthur John M.....

Dorothy is lovely btw so I can see why you'd want a boys name to match.

Others I like are Dorothy and

William
Henry
George
Harrison (Harry)
Sebastian

But they all just seem so everyday!

Thank you for the suggestions so far!! When we were naming Dorothy there are so many other baby girl names I adore, but I just find boy names a bit boring in comparison :p
