Monty and Austin don't sound like siblings to me.

farmersdaughter · 22/02/2013 20:44

Kit or Gus.

What about Rafe?

YummyMummyFeelingFunny · 22/02/2013 20:45

Ooh Kit without a doubt that would be a fantastic sibset! BTW I love Monty.

Aspiemum2 · 22/02/2013 20:46

I know twin boys called Kit & Monty and think they go fab together Smile

ellesabe · 22/02/2013 20:50

Another vote for Austin here

LynetteScavo · 22/02/2013 20:51

Kit - not keen
Flynt - not keen
Elwood (nn Woody) - adore
Gus - very nice, but Ithink it should be short for something.
Berty - Ditto
Austin - not keen
Lenny - love it.

Have you thought about Hamish/Bruce/Hugo(Hugh)?Perry/Hector

Yes - I love Hector but DH really doesn't....! I like Kit and Woody best I think - but wondering if the double 'y' endings sound twee.. 'Monty and Woody'

What is Gus short for other than Augustus?!?

I'm so thick - of course!

When I read the title Bertie jumped into my head and you have Berty on your list. To me Monty and Bertie/Berty sound like ace brothers, really well matched.

shesariver · 22/02/2013 21:14

Dont like any of them apart from Austin, sorry but I think the rest are pretty awful!

LynetteScavo · 22/02/2013 21:15

I think Monty and Angus go really well together.

Fergus?

Rhubarbgarden · 22/02/2013 23:30

Gus. It doesn't have to be short for anything. Mine isn't. Smile

MrsLouisTheroux · 23/02/2013 07:59

I have a habit of adding onto/associating names in my head :(
Kit Kat
Flynt shire
Elwood (nn Woody) (Toy Story)
Gus Augustus Gloop
Berty Bots
Austin Alegro/Powers
Lenny Henry

Sorry :(

MrsLouisTheroux · 23/02/2013 08:02

Oh I love Fergus!

zingally · 23/02/2013 11:47

My first thought said Christopher... not sure why!

OkayHazel · 23/02/2013 15:29

LOVE ELWOOD!

williaminajetfighter · 23/02/2013 15:46

All great names. Except for Lenny. Anyone from N America will remember Lenny & Squiggy!!

BNmum · 24/02/2013 21:26

Bertie!

Littlecherublegs · 24/02/2013 22:32
