We have an Oliver (Ollie) Dylan and Alexander (Alex). DH vetoes most suggestions so we are basically left with a couple of names he doesn't hate.
Current list:
Edward (Ted/Teddy) my favourite but DH insists he'll get nn Eddie which I'm not keen on
James - maybe a bit boring and I don't like Jay
Elliott - like but don't love

Thoughts on these three or any suggestions?

All the Edwards I know get called Ed rather than Eddie or Ted /Teddy.

Issac, Joseph or maybe Caleb!

Crispymandm · 22/05/2023 22:10

I love Teddy

i think Stanly or Sidney would also be nice with those siblings names.

Livingbestlife · 22/05/2023 22:05

Absolutely love Teddy xx

maddiemookins16mum · 22/05/2023 21:56

Nathan.

Stabee · 22/05/2023 21:55

Or from another thread, Caleb!

James is lovely. How about Jamie or Jim?

Or Jimethy

I'm not overly keen on your options but they're fine

My suggestions would be

Theo
Jude
Nate

Jellycats4life · 22/05/2023 21:42

I know a Teddy who is actually an Edward, but I didn’t know this for years because he always goes by Teddy or Ted.

Findyourneutralspace · 22/05/2023 21:42

James is lovely. How about Jamie or Jim?

ladygindiva · 22/05/2023 21:41

I love Edward. Call him Ted from the start and ban Eddie if you want. People will get the message.
Seb jumped out as a possible to go with your other names, also Seth.

thegreylady · 22/05/2023 21:41

My dgs Edward has grown through Teddy, Ted to his own choice of Ed.

paulhollywoodshairgel · 22/05/2023 21:40

Christopher? Kit for short. Theo.. Arthur?

I know 2 Edwards one is Eddie and the other is Ned. So I guess whichever nn you use will stick.

LoonyLois · 22/05/2023 21:39

Don’t know why, but I thought Ralph when I read your other three’s names

Mumofgirls2017 · 22/05/2023 21:38

I vote Edward. I think if you call him Teddy from an early age he is unlikely to be Eddie

LindorDoubleChoc · 22/05/2023 21:37

George
Gabriel
Spencer
William
Simon
Thomas

MissyB1 · 22/05/2023 21:35

Thomas (Tom)
Francis (Frankie)
Ralph
Hugh
Conrad (Con)

Schum · 22/05/2023 21:34

Elliott is lovely. Or how about Reuben, Tobias, Sebastian or Harrison?
My fourth boy is called Quade as it means fourth born but it’s not the same style as your other names at all!

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 22/05/2023 21:33

If your list I would go James or Elliot if you don’t like Eddie.

what about Henry?

Stabee · 22/05/2023 21:32

Marcus or Milo or Max or Otto.

James and Teddy are a bit dull. Elliott is so over used now.

caringcarer · 22/05/2023 21:31

I like Edward and if you call him Ted/Teddy then others will do too. My DGS is called Nathan and DD said they call him Nate so everyone just calls him Nate.
