Read sooo many of these threads and finally writing my own and hoping for help.
Found out we are having a boy and been stuck on names ever since! Getting close to due date and nervous we don’t have a name…we had a shortlist of 3 but not convinced on any:
like James but really dislike Jay and my manager is also called James!
like Teddy (Ted?) but really dislike Ed/Eddie and not sure how well it ages otherwise
like Freddy (ish) but had an awful grandfather called Fred and would hate it to be seen as a tribute.
any thoughts or other names to consider? No H names please due to surname. Thank you in advance hoping for some inspiration.
