Bill (full name William)

Not Ben ;)

We had the girl's name sorted but not the boy's!

It has to be another short name I think!

Joe/Joseph

Stan/Stanley
Max/Maxwell/Maximillian
Tom/Thomas

Love Stan :)

Thank you all!

Favourites from the list are Joe/Joseph and Stan/Stanley (although I'm not sure DH would go for it, even though he's a huge Laurel & Hardy fan. I also love Jim/James but DH has known too many & it's a name with associations. As is the lovely Nathan, sadly.

Harry & George have too many royal connections to pair with William, sadly.

Max & Thomas are family names already.

I quite like Theodore (Ted) but would then have Bill & Ted. How bad would that be?!

How about Theodore (Theo)?

Do you mean as opposed to Theodore (Ted)?

It's cute - but would I just end up calling him Ted anyway?

Julian (Jude)
Andrew (Drew)
Edgar (Ed)
Jeremy (Jem)
Nicolas (Nico)
Lawrence (Larry/Lawrie)

Brad (Bradley)
Jay (James)
Josh (Joshua)
Tom (Thomas)

I personally like Brad or Jay the most.

What was your girl's name? Perhaps the male version of that would be suitable?

Lawrence?

The girls name was Miriam - I can't think of a boy version!

Marcus

Don't go for Ted. Not a good sibling match.

I met a toddler called Jim recently. Excellent name.

So I'm veering towards Joseph (Joe) Christopher.

What do you think? Too vanilla, or classic, adaptable and appropriate?

Joe and Bill (Joeseph and William) sounds great! Both classic and strongly masculine but with friendly, casual nns. I also like that the nns are not too cutesy or twee.

I think Joseph Christopher is perfect. It flows very well, pairs up nicely with brothers name both as full name and nicknames. Good strong classic names :)

Yay! Thank you!

I love Joe. Great boy name. Suits any age, any job, any part of society. Great choice.

Robert/Rob, Bob or Bertie

Joseph Christoper is brilliant. Exactly the type of name I'd chose (v similar style to DS's name). Nothing wrong with "vanilla" names - I want my children to be noticed for their personalities or achievements - not their names!

Arthur? Art?

Bill and Ted! Ha ha!

Samuel? Sam?
Joel?

Rowan or Myles/Miles?
