Help me find a name for Arthur's little brother!

Have one DS, Arthur, and am expecting a second son in the summer.

DH and I only agree on one name! So I'm looking for names in a similar vein to Arthur, or if not similar something that goes well and has a nice vibe.

One caveat: nothing that ends in an 's' or 'x' sound as it would blend into our surname too much.

Please help!

George, or Teddy if short for something.

Harry goes great with Arthur shame about the 's' tho because Thomas would be lovely too, samuel's a cute name too

The two Arthurs I know have Oliver as a brother.

Yes, but the Fonz's real name was Arthur and she already has one of those.

From OP's shortlist I'd pick Wilfred (which was on my list of suggestions too ). May I throw in Edgar and Edwin as possibly fitting in with this naming vibe?

Alfie
Adam

or Coolfonz, that's a good name.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 19/04/2010 16:59

Stanley

two of my grandads were Arthur and Wilfred. And grandad wilf had a brother called Arthur. I think they go lovely together and are both beautiful names.

mathanxiety · 19/04/2010 15:10

Edward or Edwin with Ted as a nn.

I love Leo though.

verybusyspider · 19/04/2010 13:31

I'd choose Wilfred

lottiejenkins · 19/04/2010 12:13

Frank was my late dh's name.......
Wilfred is my ds's name
So like both of them!!

Shortlist remains:
Frank
Teddy
George (although the vowel sounds are the same as my surname so not sure it really works )
Wilfred
Stanley
Ernest (this was going to be DS1's name until he was born)
and adding Hector to that list too.

Of this shortlist, which would you choose?
