Names like Simon

[belindarose]

28 weeks with DS1. Simon is the only name I like. Well, I like others, but don't want a 'several in the class' name. I've only taught two Simons in 12 years, so I'm guessing it can't be that common.

Anyway, I feel like I need a few more on the shortlist to discuss with DH. Any ideas?

Simon is one of my all time favourite names - it's lovely.I wanted it for Ds but DH wasn't keen...
I don't know any little Simons so go for it.

Robin
Martin

John is a fabulous name.

Peter, Robert, Richard, David, Geoffrey, Michael.

Love these names.

Simon I'd lovely.

I'm not keen on Alfred but I think it's such a lovely idea to honour your grandfather.

:)

My dad is Simon John :)

I think that Simon Alfred works well (assuming your dh likes both names of course!). My dd is named after two of her great grandmothers and really likes the connection.

careful of initials if using Simon Alfred- you wouldn't want SAD or SAP or SAG

I love the name Simon too!

Of the ones I know / have known, they have had brothers called Daniel, Zac, and Drew.

Rowan
Matthew
Jonah
Joel
Joseph.... Not sure if you'd think it too populat though?
Edward
Jonathan
Also a fan of Peter but he'd get Peter surely
Christian

I meant Pete!
Also really like Christian and not so sure it would get shortened as easily as Christopher!
