They are all fabulous namesSmile

In order of preference:

Edward
Henry
Alexander
Leo

They all work extremely well together, so the ones that you don't use are potential mn's.

Leo
Alexander
Henry
Edward

I think Edward is on its way to overuse personally, I know a lot of little Edwards. Alexander is a perennial favourite.

FlingonTheValiant · 17/05/2011 20:06

Oh, and I think Leo Alexander would work quite well as a combo :)

I like all of them, but in order of preference

Alexander
Edward
Henry
Leo

ooh lovely names.

My list would be

Leo
Edward
Henry
Alexander

I like Alexander but it's always shortened to Alex which I just find dull and pedestrian
Henry is lovely
Edward is a gorgeous, distinguished name and lots of nice nicknames too
Leo is a brilliant name - current but traditional, unusual without being odd, and always strikes me as very cool.....

Leo Edward is a gorgeous combination, or bearing in mind your DH's preference Leo Alexander works really well too I think!

sleepingsowell · 17/05/2011 23:23

Holly and Leo work really well together as well I think

Would avoid Henry and Holly personally

Holly and Edward ok but a little bit of a mismatch perhaps?

but then they aren't going to be joined at the hip all their lives so not a big factor really I guess

Wahay, Holly and Alex - me and my bro :)

My favourite is Henry, but it is too similar to Holly.
I'm not keen on Leo, but I don't have a problem with it.

I'd definitely go Alexander.
