To go with Harry....

All the boys names I like are quite similar to Harry (who is ds1). Do you think we could get away with any of these....

Charlie
Danny
Tommy
Freddie
Eddie

Similarly for a girl I really like Callie but would I sound too much of an eejit shouting "Harry and Callie"......

Picking names is HARD :(

Picking names is def hard!!

We have Harry, Elliot and Oliver for our boys :-)

All 5 of ours have different endings of names (not intentional but I didn't want them all ending in the y sound)

For some reason and I have no idea why, I always picture Harrys as dirty old men in flasher's macs Blush

Out of your list I like Danny the best. I've always found Dannys to be rather handsome.

OP already has a Harry (which I really like by the way) squoosh so that's not a very helpful response.
I like your girl's name choice and out of the boy's list like Eddie the best, but would put Edward on the BC.

Sorry, didn't read the post properly!

Yes any of those would go well with Harry.

For a girl how about Maisie, Georgia/Georgie, Lucy, Anna/Annie?

Love those names thanks popcorn :)

I don't really like any of your boys' names. I know Harry started life as a nickname but it's so commonplace now that it's come to be seen as a name in its own right. The names you are considering fall very much in the nickname camp. I don't think they go very well with Harry.

I'd expect a boy called Harry to have a brother with a name like:
Jack
Liam
Max
Toby
Ethan
Gus
Luke

And a sister with a name like:
Lucy
Emily
Poppy
Phoebe

I agree with (most of) your suggestions stellan, but I'm having a hard time trying to convince DH :)

Harry and Fred would be my choice - think it sounds cool and better than Freddie

Ihatepeas · 30/08/2012 22:04

I know brothers Freddie (Fredrick) and Harry. Think they go well together.

psynl · 01/09/2012 22:25

The Harrys I know have siblings called George, Luke, Gregory, Thomas, Samuel and Joshua for boys and Lily and Charlotte for girls.

Milliways · 01/09/2012 22:31

I know 2 Harrys. One has a brother Adam, (the other is William - sorry!)

GW297 · 01/09/2012 22:31

William?! Eleanor for a sister...

Harry is gorgeous! It's the name I would have chosen if dd3 had been a boy.

I also liked Edward and Sebastian Smile

For girls how about:
Lily
Isabella
Lucia
Jessica
Mia
