Baby Boy Name to go with Olivia & Violet

11 replies

Really struggling to decide in a boys name to go with Olivia (aged 11) and Violet (aged 2).
At the moment we like;

Bobby (hubby's name - not sure if want Bobby

junior)
Freddie
Ruben
Harry
Bertie
Reggie

Surname is Dean.

Would like something a little bit different yet not too obscure or too common.
Thanks!! :-)

Your girls are quite nature-y, so how about Rowan?

Don't name your son after your husband. a) he will be called Little Bobby or Booby Jnr all the time and b) its too close a familial relationship IMO for naming-after.

Of your choices I like Freddie best.

Olivia and Violet are lovely names! Smile

Of your boys names listed, I like Rueben (would spell it like this) and Freddie.
Harry is very popular (no. 1 at the mo!) though do like Harris / Harisson.
Dont like Reggie at all.
Bertie and Bobby are ok though would go with Albert or Robert (like Robbie actually).

Other suggestions:
Leo
Finlay
Tommy
Stanley
Toby / Tobias
Rory
Seth
Theo
Patrick (Paddy)
Teddy
Monty

Well I have a Bertie so I vote that Grin

How about Edward? Olivia, Violet and Ted?

Your girl's names are gorgeous and classic.

Reuben is spelled like this, not the other two ways already listed. (Despite the recent baby name statistics ;) ) It is a great name and the meaning ''Behold! A son'' would seem especially nice after two daughters..

I do like Harry and Freddie from your boys list but as little already said, Harry is the no 1 boys name at present. Not keen on Reggie, makes me think 'Kray' ... Bertie makes me think Bassett (this says more about me than your names, I am sure lol). If you like Albert - how about Albie as nn?

Other suggestions:

Benjamin
Amos
James
Andrew
Stanley
Rex
Charlie
Thomas
Joshua
William
Adam

Congrats :)

Olivia, Violet and Samuel Dean. Has a nice ring to it, first name that came to my head.

EdithWeston · 14/08/2012 09:21

Even though not exact matches, I thought "Shakesperean".

So how about Benedict (Ben), Anthony, Julius/Julian, Ferdinand, Toby, Henry, Richard?
