We decided more or less this morning that bump to be is to be called Harry Joseph...

Just had a call from my mum informing me that her sister, my auntie (my age) has called her baby HARRY!!!

Now i need suggestions as we are at a real loss..

I would like something strong and traditional but not too poular (now i realise Harry is far more popular than i thought, but i honestly don;t know of ay in our area and have had many people 'research' that for me!)

DD is Georgia-Mae and the surname is Wellard so needs to go with those.

Could you swap it around so he could be Joseph Harry?

I love Henry, dp doesn't!

Alfie already in the family, not keen on Morgan - love Isaac and Lucas - again dp doesnt!

Edward Wellard - seriously! I love Edward but not with the surname. I love William - but again, William Wellard???

Love Thomas, but hate Tom and Tommy

Like James but as a middle name more.

What about:

Henry
Thomas
Edward
Joel
Jacob
Benedict
Theo

DS1 is Harry, tis a lovely name and not popular round here either.

How often would you see the 'other' Harry? I called my daughter the same name as one of my cousin's children but we only see each other about 3-4 times a year (if that).

Edward?

Thomas/Tom?

James?

You could maybe use Henry - Harry is short for that and when they are older perhaps he could be 'Harry'.
