We are really stuck on a name for DS2. We already have DS1 who is Joseph, we loved this name from day one and never ever had any doubts throughout the pregnancy and when he was born it just 'fit' and suited him perfectly. I think I love his name so much that thinking of another I like as much is impossible!

Currently names we like but don't LOVE are:
Thomas
Henry
Oliver

All fairly traditional and popular names but my question is if you could pick just ONE boys name, unusual, popular or traditional, what would it be??

Traditional is good. Like all the names on the list.. Thomas (Tom) is prob my fave. Am biased that all the Tom's I know are nice blokes!. I have an Edward James and a Charlie Robert. Really wanted Toby, but had a dog called Toby when DS1 was born ;-)

I liked Edmund until I knew somebody who had an Edmund who was terrible!
I find it hard to have a favourite, working in schools there are sometimes reasons to get put off a name!

James
Edward
Finn

I've got a friend who has a Joe, Alex, Sam, and Ben. All good IMO.

I love Tristan too!

DS is Joel. He was going to be Jacob Alexander, but just didn't look like one!

Alexander is my all time favourite and was my Dad's name and now DS1 s name. I also love Campbell!
