...brothers Thomas and George, also have a strong boys name as a surname that begins with O, so we have to be careful with initials.

I am looking for something different to Max and Jack, but as nice as them, maybe a little bit wacky but not too much, and deffo not poncey (I am a Southerner in the North West, I have to be careful with my accent) We have been through countless name books/websites and not hit on the one yet, so it's over to you lot!

To give an idea, my favourites are Seth, Seb(astian), Albert (Albie), DH likes Charlie and Harrison, neither of us like each others (Well to be fair, I love Harrison, but I don't like 'Arrison, which is what it becomes up here!)

No I can see that with James.

Damn your DH, Edward(Ned) is great!!!

Edward - I love it, especially shortened to Ned, DH hates it.

Josh, DH says nope.

Not keen on Tristan or Archie with surname.

James and surname equals a famous somebody that I don't fancy naming our DS3 after!

Alfie, William?

I am going to second Edward. I think it goes with the boys names.

Arthur.

They become 'Enry and 'Arry though, it grates on me.

Should probably say as well that since we have been through so many books and websites, most of the names suggested will probably have already been discussed so it may seem like I am taking no notice, I am, I am sure one of you will come up with something we haven't considered, you have to, else this baby will never have a name!
