... i have a 3 year old daughter called Emma.. and i am due to give birth, all being well, to a son in September... but what would go well with Emma?

we have a silly surname, bit of a gobfull, no one's ever heard of it or can spell it... begins with an R. so need to avoid names beginning with R...

thanks!

First thing which came to my mind was William (no idea why)

KittiesInsane · 25/07/2014 14:44

Max or Oliver, usually. Mind you, ending in R is probably as bad as beginning with R.

Adam, Owen, Matthew?

ksrwr · 25/07/2014 14:50

these are all good names... similar kind of 'sound' to Emma...
thank you ;-)

MrsLettuce I am an Emma and my little brother is a James.

I cant think of anything other than James because of that! Sorry OP not much help

MrsCakesPremonition · 25/07/2014 15:06

I'm going with James too. Possibly a Harry.

BreeVDKamp · 25/07/2014 15:09

Oliver was my first thought, but the r ending might run into your surname?

Andrew, because I know one with a sister Emma.
Ditto Alexander.

Marcus???
