Names to match George and Harry

58 replies

Expecting #3, don't know the gender yet but starting to throw names around. Girls names aren't an issue, but we're really struggling with boys names!

My first two are George and Harry, we'd like something that works with them.

Oh's vetoing everything I like, and doesn't have any ideas of his own Hmm

The only maybes he's given so far are:
Albie
Dominic
Richard

And he isn't keen on any of them.

The list of "no" is too long to write (I can't remember them all), but includes:
Charlie
Freddie
Robert
Elliot
Ellis
Arthur
Isaac
William
Theodore
Sebastian
Edward
Edmund
Louis/Louie
Jude

Has anyone got any suggestions I could throw at him please? It wasn't as hard to name the other two, but I like to have a vague idea fairly early on as it helps me bond (we don't really give bump a nickname so it's just "it" until birth otherwise). We like traditional names, so nothing too "out there". But otherwise we've not worked out any hard and fast rules.

We are having a surprise too - due in less than 2 bloody weeks!

Girl name - sorted thank god.

Boy name - he liked Ben or Samuel previously then decided out of the blue he doesn't like them any more and doesn't really offer up alternatives. He doesn't have much longer left to take a shine to something!

Your taste sounds similar to mine. I like George and harry a lot. Smile

Simon Joshua Nicholas David John Jonathan
Oh, I hadn't tried John! The others I have, but I'm adding that to my list to try him with. Thank you for all of the suggestions. I've never known someone so awkward!

@firstimemamma

Your dh sounds like mine! Our son is called Owen.
He's a pain in the backside this time, wasn't as bad last time! I haven't tried Simon either so I'll throw that in this evening. Even names he liked when toddler was born he now apparently can't stand!
