DS is George. It was the only name we could agree on out of hundreds. It was dh's granddad's name.

Dc2 due in August. Dh wants the name Miles. I have nothing against it, but don't think it goes with George. Also it is one we discussed at end of pregnancy for ds and I just don't see it as this baby's name.

Girls names are fine. But it is likely this one will be a boy (there are all boys in dh's family)

Names he has already said no to:

Edward
Isaac
Henry

We can't have Daniel, Matthew, Michael, Alex, Adam, James, Peter, Luke, Harry, Robert, Thomas, Ben.

Can anyone suggest any? Added problem, I am a secondary teacher so loads of names have negative connotations.

Does it have to go with George? They won't be together forever. I didn't give a thought to whether DC2's name 'went with' DC1's, I only know now that people do this through Mumsnet. Grin

Just choose a name you like. Smile I think Miles is lovely BTW. [sorry) Grin

George is a fab name and is one of those names that can sound traditional or funky depending on what it is teamed up with! What about...

Oscar
Rafferty
Joseph
Arthur
Frank/ie
Charles/charlie
Theo
William/Billy

What are your girl names? Might give us a clue as to which sort of names he does like.

Namefinder I could have written your post myself! We have a George Henry and come from a large family full of boys. All those names on your list are already taken too! We love classic names and the only ones left for us were George, William and Henry. If we were to have another boy we would be stuck as i'm not too keen on William/Will.
Love Miles too but doesn't go with our surname. I think George and Miles is fine though.
Other suggestions:
George and Toby
George and Louis (love)
George and Patrick
George and Samuel

By the way we have an Eva too and if we had another girl she would be Alice, Harriet, Rosa or Katherine

Sorry me again! I know brothers called Fred and George. I LOVE these names together. George and Leo nice too.

Littlecherublegs · 13/02/2012 09:55

I know a George with brothers Arthur and Frank.

How about:
Albert

Oliver
Sebastian

Nicholas
Frederick

George is one of my DSs middle names. Here are there other names - I used a lot of names in the middle! LOL

Christopher
David
William
Tom
Jonathan

Don't know why Miles doesn't go with George. What makes a name 'go' or not? If you like Miles, then I think they are perfectly good brothers names!

CecilyP · 13/02/2012 17:16

I think Miles goes fine with George. Maybe not a perfect match but absolutely nothing wrong with it. Other names that would ago are:

William
Arthur
Frederick
Alfred
Frank
Richard
