Thanks for the input.
im still preggers 41+1 today
Edward is my lead name but Edward is also DS1s middle name which makes me feel slightly bad....
DP is vouching for Samuel George
DS1 (4) is vouching for Georgie porgie or Maxie?! George
Joe needs more thought
And I need to have a baby soon I feel like i've been horseriding

They're all gorgeous but I like Edward (Teddy) best

cece · 07/11/2009 11:32

DS2 was going to be Edward/Eddie/Ed but when he was born it didn't suit him so we went with a name we hadn't even considered.

IME it is best to wait and meet your baby before making the final decision on a name. We did that with all 3 of ours and it worked out fine.

BTW I like all your choices

samuel447 · 07/11/2009 11:28

I have a Joe and he is just Joe.. No other Joe's in entire infant school (120 pupils) so not too common here.. About number 60 or so in Top 100. I think its the least common of the 4 you suggest. Goes best with Finn too. I expect number 4 this week and am considering Finn!

Edward (Teddy/Ted/Ed nn - all fab)

Caro my 2dgs are finn and Edward[Ted for nn]which cartoon did you have in mind exactly?

displayuntilbestbefore · 06/11/2009 14:45

Not so keen on Samuel but love the other names

Hulababy · 06/11/2009 14:43

I actually like all of them.

I prefer Joseph to Joe, and f Joseph would be my first choice.

Otherwise I love Edward too, with the nn Ned.

Esmee · 06/11/2009 14:21

Edward and Samuel would be my preferences.

I actually know siblings named Samuel (Sam), George and Edward!

HappyBump · 06/11/2009 14:04

My DS is George Finlay ... so I think George goes best with Finn ...

However I am expecting DS2 soon and we are thinking of Samuel

My nephew is Edward (Eddie) and I have an Uncle Joe ...

It seems all of them are very popular names these days, so difficult to choose all great names.

MrsJohnDeere · 06/11/2009 14:01

George or Edward

Caro79 · 06/11/2009 13:59

George or Joe.

Finn and Ted sound like cartoon characters.

snickersnack · 06/11/2009 13:43

Joe.

Abubu · 06/11/2009 11:52

Samuel

RnB · 06/11/2009 10:53

Edward or Joe
