Henry, Samuel or Alexander? (We would use the long name rather than shortening.)

or something else?

thanks

Love Samuel. Jake, Ben and Sam is great when they’re older.

I'd say Alexander. However I'd advise against it if you don't want it shortened. You can only control that for so long. You can't be telling him at 30 tha t he can't call himself Alex.

Samuel, Daniel, Isaac

Samuel. Ds had a lovely friend named Samuel & I am therefore biased toward it 😊.

Think Samuel works best. I teach a Samuel and it's never shortened. It's lovely.

I also think Theo would work really well.

Elijah is nice but we know another and so wouldn’t use it.

Thanks both - I worry with Alexander that unless we use a shortened name from day 1 (Xander would be the best), he will eventually end up as Alex, even though I would much prefer to call him Alexander than Xander.
