DS is Edward - known as Teddy/Ted.

DC2 is due in 10 weeks. Got a short list of girl names which DP and I are happy with, but struggling to come up with a single name - let alone a short-list - of boys names we're both happy with.

Lots that we like/are meh about, but nothing we both love. It's like we had a boy's name we loved, and we've used it, and anything else would be second best!

HELP!

Harry, I know it's popular, but it goes so well with Teddy.

William, NN Will.

David, due a resurgence! Maybe not?

Thomas?

Hmm, it's tricky because I am assuming that all the obvious combinations are the ones you are feeling underwhelmed by:

George
William
Andrew
Charles
Henry

Can you see that I am just working through the Royal Family here? Grin

A couple of slightly less obvious options:

Philip - Ted and Pip
Nicholas - Nicky, Nick
Robert - Robby, Bobby, Bertie
Jonathan - Ted and Johnny/Jonty

I have an Edward (Eddie). I'm having a girl but my boy's name choice would have been Francis (Frankie). I think they go well together and neither are too popular.

Pip is awesome!

Albert/ Bertie is nice

Robin?

Charles? Cas for short

I have an Edward. His brothers are Adam and Oliver. Other front runners over those pregnancies included Alexander, Christopher (Kit), Robert (Robin) and Sebastian.
