We are struggling with names for our boy due early next year, he'll be a little brother to Elizabeth who we are calling Elsie while she's little. If this baby had been a girl she would be Beatrice or Dorothy, but we're not sure now it is a boy.
My favourites that DH has vetoed are Arthur (he says too trendy), Edward (doesn't like matching initial with sister), Fraser (flat no) and Joseph (too biblical!?). His favourites are Jonathan, Harry, or Benjamin, which to be fair we had agreed on for our first but have since become friends with a Ben so I now find it weird!
There are lots more we each kind of like but we're not finding much in common! We had a much better list of names we both liked for girls but I feel like we've been through every boys name going now and need to start fresh. I would have said our taste was established but not too popular names but I don't know any more!
Family names we can't use are Alexander, Charlie, Thomas and Sebastian
