Hi, reaching out for more input please and some random suggestions for 3rd boy due in 7 weeks!

Sibling for Edward & Henry but thinking a bit wild card this time and using a name I wasn’t brave enough to go for previously!

shortlist so far:
Rupert
Percy
Barney
Rufus
Caspar

Don't want to go with the obvious George, Arthur, James, William etc!

any ideas very welcome, thank you!

As a mum of teens, I don’t think my kids would thank me for calling them some of these names! I think Casper works really well for all ages, and also passes the cool teen test!

How about Reuben instead of Rupert or Rufus? Or do you like

Max
Rory
Jasper
Toby
Felix
Stanley
Austin
Miles
Robert / Bobby
Albert / Bertie

Definitely Rupert!

Caspar is my favourite. Rupert and Rufus go better with your older ones I think and I like them!

Rupert and Xavier are my favourite names of all time. I’m also really keen on Alexander, aka Xander.

Edward, Henry and Rupert
Edward, Henry and Xavier
Edward, Henry and Alexander

The first name that came to my head was Kit.

Barney 😍

😂 to pp! Was going to suggest Thomas but might be bland/too much Thomas the tank engine.

Quite like Rufus but how about Rory? I love the name Rory!

FayCarew · 15/11/2024 20:56

Thomas. I prefer James to your shortlist.

Tulip8 · 15/11/2024 20:53

Go for Percy and have the full Tank Engine set!
