MumOnTheRun87 · 05/12/2025 07:39

Hiya everyone,
Ive just a had a little boy and he doesn’t have a name! His sister is called Charlotte Elizabeth and we had a girls name picked out but can’t agree on boys names.

Names we can’t use: Alexander, Daniel, Matthew, Benjamin, Jacob, Thomas, Noah, George, Alfred, Max, Leo, Jonathon, Nicholas

Please can you give some suggestions, as I can’t seem to think of anything I like and can use.
Thank you so much!
Kate x

Adam James. Go with a slightly shorter name. You will be relieved in years to come when you are filling in multiple forms for each child - eg dental check ups, immigration forms on holiday or whatever. You will get very tired if they all have long names like Charlotte Elizabeth and you’re trying to supervise multiple little people running around while you complete loads of forms (I learned this the hard way 😂)

Branwell. But I don’t think he sets an example you would want the baby to follow :).

Andrew, Isaac, Henry, Lucas.

My Charlotte Elizabeth had a little brother called Jack Alexander, but that was nearly 26 years ago! Our other choice at the time was Hugo…

Charlotte & Hugo
Charlotte & Oscar
Charlotte & James
Charlotte & Oliver
Charlotte & Joshua
Charlotte & Jacob
Charlotte & Samuel

How do you imagine signing off your greetings cards? That’s what helped me decide- what looked like it flowed written down with already existing child’s name.

Congratulations, OP!

He’s called James. Of course he is.

Although there’s a family who had a Charlotte Elizabeth who had a George and Louis you might want to be inspired by :)

Needspaceforlego · 05/12/2025 07:56

Marmite27 · 05/12/2025 07:46

George and Louis surely

Thats what I was thinking!

Op you already have 2 'royal' names i think id steer clear of any more.
Nicolus, Christopher althought i dont like siblings with same inital.

Charlotte and Joseph
Charlotte and Samual

On a more serious note, Nicholas David sprang to mind.

It's not 1982!
OP, Charlotte's brother is called Isaac.
