Currently expecting DC4. It will be our first gender surprise and DH and I cannot agree on a boys name.

We love vintage/traditional names, our DDs are Ada, Nelly & Margot with middle names that we felt just flowed. I’m not too fussed about meaning/popularity/origin
Theres a few we can’t use as already in the family: Harry, Arthur, Ralph, Henry, James Thomas, Sidney, Oscar, Wilf.
DH loves Edward/Eddie or Edison/Sonny but I’m really not a fan. Edward feels a bit too pretentious and Sonny sounds like I couldn’t be bothered to think of a better name for my first DS. (Was also the name of our neighbours recently deceased dog)
He also loves Silas but it doesn’t go with our surname at all.

names i love but DH has vetoed are Caleb, Benjamin, George, August, Jack,
If we have another DD her name will be Phoebe Sloane.

Please help ❤️

alfie Freddie Archie ronnie Reggie Frankie etc all big nos from me
wilf and vinnie are actually my dogs names, I didn’t think vinnie would get a mention so didn’t add that to OP 😅
godfrey is my best friends surname
but there’s some really interesting names on here and some I’ve added to the list
I love Kit, but husband thinks it’s a bit private school.
my friends recently had a Jacob, althought really lovely name. Probably why I love Caleb so much.
Love Monty & Charlie.
@Ameliepoulainandthephotobooth funny, my uncles name is James Edwin 😅 I’m not fond of any of the Ed names tbh

What about Edwin instead?

Stanley , Bert(ie) or Fred(die) ?

I love Bertie. Possibly NN for Albert?
I have put Stanley on possible contenders
