Ok, have narrowed it down to:

Felix
Stan
Harvey
Jake

Siblings are Alfie and Ted. Comments/reactions please! Am indecisive to the point of disability so need all the help I can get!

Stan goes best with siblings, along the old man theme. Prefer if short for Stanley.
Felix I quite like though does make me think of cats!
Don't like Harvey and not keen on Jake but like Jacob (but don't think it goes as well as Stan with other siblings)
good luck deciding!

Stanley or Harvey.

FollowMe · 12/05/2011 16:11

Stanley or felix definitely

Only like Jake (and only as a nn for Jacob) from your list, sorry.

Felix - great name, I like this :)
Stan - very "old man" fad
Harvey - too surnamey
Jake - like as nickname for Jacob

I like them all except Harvey, sorry but Jordan has forever ruined that name for me which is a shame really as I know a lovely Harvey.

I have an Archie and Tom and also think I am having a ds3...Jake is on my list, along with Ned and Finn, but of yours I like
Stan best
then Felix
then Jake

Stanley is lovelySmile Felix is for the cat, and Harvey the rabbit!!! ...and Katie Price!

Felix - Stan and Harvey are a bit faddish and Jake seems like a naughty boy name to me (mainly because my nephew is a Jake and he is the last word in naughtiness!!)

Felix is great. Congratulations - three boys is great fun. My ds3 was nameless for 10 days. Just found out having ds4. F* knows what we'll call - I'll be back on here for advice no doubt. Take it you're down south - we don't get many Alfies, harveys and stanleys in Scotland

Thanks lollystix! Am delighted with my 3 boys - good luck with your fourth! What are your current 3 called? Am in Scotland as it goes, but yes, those names not too common here as yet.

Still swithering, but have now narrowed it down to Felix (my fave) or Stan/Stanley (DP's fave). DP loathes Felix so still open to other suggestions ...
