I am so stuck. Poor DS3 is 8 days old and we cannot decide on a name. I started a thread before but have lost it in the depths of MN The shortlist so far, favourites at the top are-
Laurence (my favourite I think but not biblical)
Thomas (seems abit 'obvious')
Joshua (love it but people would think we named them all J... on purpose and it sounds abit odd with 2 other Js)
Caleb
Callum (calum?)
Jacob
I like Rupert too, DH doesn't...

I want a nice solid name, pref. biblical, and will need 2 middle names too Patrick I love too, but it's one of DS1s middle names.... ditto Malachi (one of DS2s). I have been waiting for it to just come to me like DS 1 and 2 but nothing is "right"....

Benjamin goes well with the others without being another "J". Or Matthew?

wouldn't go for Joshua/Jacob as too similar to the other two. Justin might sound ok....
I love Laurence (Laurie...) from your list. Lewis would work well too.

Other suggestions - apologies if others have suggested same:
Adam
Alex
Matthew
Henry
Ted/Edward
Ben/Benedict/Benjamin
Monty
Simon

Before I opened the thread I thought of Christopher. I think it goes with your other 2 names.

But doesn't have the J thing? In which case Jude is my pick.

Lots of other beautiful names here.

I would definately say Jacob.

Paul
Daniel
Adam
Timothy
Michael

If J then another vote for Joshua

Use Laurence as a middle name?

Why not just John?

hhg · 16/07/2010 21:17

Joel?

I know a 4 year old Christopher. It works -you don't hear kids called that so much, it's actually quite unusual.
Ditto Peter.

Jacob
