Boys names?

[cheekster]

We are so so struggling to come up with a name for DS2. We have kind of agreed with a shortlist, but we still cannot decide, especially the type of name IYSWIM e.g. biblical?

We found it so easy with DS1 - who is named Noah.

So please help us decide

Our shortlist

Older names

Henry
Frederick
Edward
Albert

Biblical names

Samuel
Isaac
Reuben
Jacob

Other names we like

Jenson
Dexter
Roman - this is a big fave at the moment

Our surname is one syllable beginning with S.

Thanks

I think if you have a Noah it would be nice to have a name that's at least IN the bible, even if not considered just Biblical (um, iyswim). Noah and Dexter or Noah and Edward sound too unrelated imo,

Do you like these names and want to know what is best, or want new suggestions? :)

I dislike Reuben (he'd probably end up as Roo), but like your other Biblical names.

Do you care about popularity?

I like Samuel. I would have had DS as a Sam if it wasn't my brothers name.

I like Reuben and Roman best from your list. How about Seth ??

Love Samuel and Edward.

Edward is my current favourite name for our baby due in November. It is gorgeous! And I love the nn Teddy and Ted.

Samuel is also lovely and I would have this on my list except we used to have a dog called Sam and so it would be a little weird because my family associates the name Samuel with the dog.

Also like Henry though not as much as Edward and Samuel.

We also have a Noah and share quite a few of your favourite name choices too.

See my thread here :)

I personally LOVE Albert but my boyf has already vetoed it. Also love Isaac and Henry.

I actually like or love the majority of your shortlist. My least favourite would be Jacob and I think Samuel is incredibly popular.

I like Isaac and Jacob.

I too love Roman and Reuben.

Thomas
Adam
James

From your list I really like Roman and Dexter.

I've got a Noah and was going to suggest Lewis (my DS1) but then just noticed you surname begins with S so that probably won't work.

I love Reuben, Isaac, Jacob, and Roman from your lists.

I love Edward. Like Frederick but hate Fred/Freddie. Hate Albert, sorry.

Love Samuel, Isaac and Jacob but not Reuben.

Don't mind Dexter.

Dislike Roman and really, really hate Jensen.

Love Noah and think that Isaac, Samuel or Edward sound best with it.
