3 fave names.....which to choose????

[4boyzmum]

expecting ds#5 soon. we like Sonny, Arthur or Ned for a name. some days i prefer one more than others but i know we will have to make a def decision shortly....which one to choose tho?????

Your fifth son?! Wow, congratulations. I like Ned (Edward) the best. Or how about Quentin/Quin which means 5th in Latin?

What are the others called?

I like Edward (Ned), or Arthur. Quinn would be an awesome middle name

Nitkeenon any tbh, but Sonny at a push. Congratulations!

Arthur

Arthur.
Or Edward - but not just Ned.
Sonny is a ridiculous name for a grown man.

Sonny is a ridiculous name for an adult.

Edward nn Ned is wonderful.

Aurthur or Edward BUT NO to Sonny - as suggested above Quinn as a 2nd name sounds good with both these first names.

Ned

Ned here too. Sonny is a ridiculous name for anyone, child or adult.

Really like Arthur!

Ooh wait until you meet him!

I think they are all very different names and would suit very different people...how exciting and congrats on your 5th! :-) x

ooh, suprised sonny not more popular!? love edward as a name but dh not at all keen so ned is a compromise. other ds's names are louis, george, oscar and seth. think all 3 possible names go with these?

Ned or Sonny

Hate Arthur as a childs name

Ned or Sonny.

I love both names. I think they'll sound lovely at any age.

I really love Ned as short for Edward. Didn't have it for DS2 as DH said "If we're going to call him Ned his name should be Ned, not Edward." We couldn't agree so ended up with something else.

However. Since then, I have found out about the insulting term "Ned" commonly used in Scotland to describe a sort of useless young person. It stands for Non Educated Delinquent, I think. So I am kind of glad I didn't get my way.

I don't like any of them,but Arthur is better than the other two.
Ned is awful.Ugly and best reserved for a carthorse. And here it'd be the equivalent of calling a child thug or chav. Plus it definitely doesn't go with your other boys' names.

Sonny is fine as a nickname,but ridiculous as a first name.

Arthur works well at any age.

Arthur is fab, congrats on having five sons soon!! You are so lucky!!!

Arthur is the nicest. Adore Seth btw, great name. And congrats on boy 5

Ned! Hope you have a safe delivery

Arthur.

Wait til he's born, and pick the name in the delivery suite? Or let the other 4 decide :o

Seth is wonderful.

Ned is really silly. Can't believe it could be a name for a child. Don't like Sonny very much. Arthur is Ok but I wouldn't choose it.

Ned is a donkey.

If you're going for this he must be named Edward so that he has somewhere else to go. Something similar happened to me "If we're going to call her X her name should be X, not Xxxxxx." It is very selfish to deprive a child of options in this way.

I love the names of your other sons.
Arthur is a great name and goes really well with the others.
