Brother for Spencer?

[moojie]

Ds1 is called Spencer and Ds2 is due in a couple of months. We are really struggling with a name we like. I want something that is not weird or too unusual but also not too popular. I quite like old fashioned names. We like Bertie (but not any of the longer versions) and Stanley but have yet to find a name we love. It took us almost a week to name ds1 so wanted to be able to announce birth and name together this time!

Maxwell (Max for short).

Couldn't you just call him Bertie and not have a longer version? Some people don't lengthen Alex to Alexander.

Max and Spencer? ... naughty

I was going to suggest Marcus.

loopydoo... Max and Spencer...? future purveyors of knickers perhaps???
Bertie is nice, not so keen on Stanley, it reminds me of old men,

Oh whoops - I just thought of it as Spencer and Maxwell, not the other way around - sorry

I was going to say Spencer and Mack but I guess other way round is a bit M&S as well - does this matter though? I think you normally say eldest child and or longest name first

Yes we do need to avoid the m&s link! [Grin]

Actually I love Bertie but yet to convince dh. I might start calling the bump it and see if it sticks seeing as dh is yet to come up with any sensible suggestions!

What about Spencer and Edward (Spencer and Eddy)?

Oops !

A close friend has just had an Edward so can't really go there.

Arthur?

Tobias
Fraser
Jonah
Elijah
Harrison
Freddie
Donnie
Wilf
Theo
Leo

Anything but Mark or Max and Spencer

I like Spencer and
Albert (Bertie)
Frederick
Ethan
Quentin
Dominic

You might like another surname name - e.g. Alcott, Alden, Anderson, Archer, Baylor, Beckett, Blake, Carter, Cole, Colton, Griffin, Harrison, Huxley, Lincoln, Logan, Nolan, Nicholson, Parker, Paxton, Pierce, Porter, Reed/Reid, Sawyer, Truman, Vaughan, Wyatt, etc. Maybe there's a gem in your family history you could use.

Equally, one of these might fit the bill - Alastair, Ambrose, August, Barnaby, Conrad, Dashiell, Dexter, Edwin, Emmett, Everett, Fergus, Francis, Gideon, Gregory, Holden, Hugo, Isaac, Jeremy, Julian, Jonah, Miles, Milo, Orson, Otis, Pascal, Roman, Rowan, Silas, Timothy, Tobias, Tristan, Winslow, Winston, Wesley.

My favourites are:
Spencer & August
Spencer & Barnaby
Spencer & Emmett
Spencer & Everett
Spencer & Julian
Spencer & Roman

I do really like Spencer & Albert (Bertie) though - it'd be a lovely choice.

I like the names that start with A- Adrian, Arthur etc... they sounds lovely with Spencer!
