If Peter had a brother, he would be called...

[SpiderWilliam]

Following on from the "Peter" thread, what is the first name that springs to mind?

My shortlisted names have been rejected by DH and he hasn't made any suggestions of his own (it's too early apparently). The short list included:
Robert
Nicholas
Alastair
Tobias/Toby
Rupert

We are looking for something traditional but not too popular. I am being fussy though and whilst I like

Andrew, I don't like Andy
Ditto Christopher / Chris
Matthew / Matt

Many thanks!

I like Rupert.

I think Peter and Robin sound cute together too.

Monty?
James?
Philip?
Barnaby?

I have a brother called Andrew and he has never been known as Andy.

He would be called Joseph.

Jo hn
Antony
David
Nicholas

Thanks for the suggestions, keep them coming!

DH is James Jonathan
GF is John
So those have been rejected by DH

I have suggested Joseph, but neither of us love it, and it is a bit popular. Top 15 I think.

I agree that we could go for Andrew and avoid the shortening. However I don't want to ever become like the mother of a colleague who I once met. I said something about working with "Matt" and she said "Matthew" in v glacial terms . DS is always Peter, but I am happy Pete if it ever sticks at school.

Monty is the name of my Aunt's dog who once bit DH. Can't see him going for that one.

With Philip I am trying to avoid another name beginning with P. Same issue with Patrick.

William
Frederick
George
Alexander
Henry
Edward
Francis
Thomas
Nathaniel
Samuel
Richard
D aniel
Gregory

I have done DH he disservice! He suggested Anthony. We like Ant as a nn, but Tony on a child sounds weird, but could be avoided.

David falls into the same category as Andrew for me. Last time I was pregnant I refused to contemplate having a "baby Dave". Is that from the Royale Family? I have a feeling it is.

I LOVE Ant as a nn!!

Peter and Daniel
Peter and Saul

Paul...

I know twins named Peter and Edward.

Hate to say this, but Paul

Michael was my first though

Then Timothy
( I would have been Peter and my bro is Tim)

Peter and Richard

Gregory
Toby
Michael
Steven
Alexander

LOL at Paul. I think Simon and Duncan are out of the running for similar reasons.

I like Duncan though, but feel my children shouldn't be named after a 1980's Blue Peter presenter! What do people think?

I like Timothy. Don't like Ant at all, sorry - it's that little TV idiot.

Edward is lovely.

Don't like Duncan.

Laurence/Laurie?

We thought Ant was better than Dec though .

I like Laurence and had suggested it, but DH says that a) he doesn't like it, and, b) Laurie + our surname is some washed up musician from the 80s.

Edward is on the possibility list, but is straying into ex boyfriend territory.

David (or would have been in my family if my dad hadn't decided that Peter should be Paul....)

Jacob
Isaac
Mark
Oliver
Neil
Adam

I knew a lady who had a Peter and a Benjamin. I think she might've really wanted rabbits...

Edward is nice with Peter.

You could have Andrew, and shorten it to Drew yourselves in an attempt to ward off Andy?

John

John
James
Richard
William

Timothy is just horrible, really awful. James is lovely and very classic.

Our David is Da vy
