We were going to call DS2 Barnaby (nn Barney) but somehow it just didn't come out at the hospital when they asked if we had a name and we haven't been using it.
DS1 (who is called Joe) has been calling the baby Freddie (and everyone at school thinks that's his name!) which I like but I think Freddie is too informal if he becomes a barrister or something and I dislike Frederick/Fred/Wilfred/Alfred
I have never really liked cutesy names ending ie/ey and am very confused now. I think I like(d) Barnaby as it's an OK BC name and Barney is an OK shortening but I don't 100% love it.
I feel like going back to the drawing board but there are no names I love let alone ones that DH likes too, ones that go with Joe, that go with surname etc.
What do I do?! Do I just go with Barnaby and it will grow on me? Or pick something new? To give you some idea of names I like... Josh, Jack (but I can't really have 2 sons both starting J can I?), Kit, Ben (DH vetoed both)
I am getting rather stressed now and would appreciate any advice... I have been trying to relax and hope it will come to me but it hasn't!
