Boys' names to go with Henry

28 replies

champagnesupernova · 26/05/2010 15:54

I have a very long list of names for a girl but am a bit stuck for a boy. Have loads of time yet but am a bit worried that my boy list is COMPLETELY empty - it took us 48 hours to name DS!

These are the ones I like but can't have due to family already with that name and our surname:

William
Edward
Charles
Thomas

I have a Patrick Joseph and a William John. Bump will be Daniel Jacob if a boy.
George would be good too.
Good Luck.

Charles or George would be lovely.

I know siblings Edward, Thomas and Henry and the theme tune goes around in my head whenever I see them together!

imamissandamummy · 26/05/2010 21:45

Henry and Oliver - that sounds nice, or George x

i would say not Thomas, Edward or James as although these are lovely boys names, when you have two together, Thomas the Tank does spring to mind.

(PPS: i just checked, and there is an oliver and george characters but imo they are not typical of thomas the tank's friends names!)

lol. x

I love Henry, George and Leo.

I think either would sit well with Henry.

A few other ideas:

Hugo
Theodore
Jasper
Nathaniel
Oliver
Lucas
Louis
Reuben
Marcus
Sebastian
Peter

Thanks all.

RIchard doesn't go with surname sadly.

Yes, the tank engine thing is a problem! My colleague dreamt I was having a DS while I was in labour with Henry and that I called him Percy!!

I like Leo - hadn't thought of that - am a big West Wing fan, too.

George is a contender - it's DH's middle name and you've reminded me Alexander was on shortlist previously.

I have a Henry and Albert known as Albie.
Also took us ages to think of another boys name and there were lots we could not use as well. It has taken me a while to get use to Albie's name mainly becuase we had some negative comments at first, but it really suits him, hes our little Albie, we get compliments now.

mathanxiety · 26/05/2010 16:26

Michael
Gabriel
Jonathan
James
