I really only like 'Teddy' or 'Dougie'. I honestly have scoured the internet & can't find anything I like! I know 100's of Albie' s & Archie's, Jacks & Charlie's. I'm seriously panicking & at this rate will just be calling him Blob or something. Please help!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Edward and Douglas aren't that 'out there' and then you can shorten however you like.

When my youngest was born there was a glut of little Milos because of The Tweenies. You may find the same with your choices do it won't be unusual when he starts school.

I bet there won't be many Borises though 😀

You can’t call a child Teddy or Dougie. They’ll grow up to be adults with the names of cutesy cartoon characters for the under-3’s.

You could call him Theodore or Douglas (really nice, classic, adult names) and then feel free to cutesy them up as you see fit.

Unless you're in Scotland.
Dougie is a very common adult man's name.
