We are out of time & need to make a decision. Please help! One syllable last name. Two big sisters, Victoria and Olivia (nn Liv) In no particular order, we are down to:

Alexander Henry
Henry Leo
Leo Matthew
Henry Beck
Would really appreciate your opinions! Feel free to suggest anything else also.

Henry Edward

Actually I love your choices with a slight preference for Henry first :)

thegreylady · 14/09/2014 12:45

Jacob not Jacoob!

Thank you! Funny you added Edward, we were thinking of using that one.

Alexander, Henry and Edward are all lovely in any combination

I have sisters called Victoria & Olivia (great names!) and I would've been Alexander if I'd been a boy :) I also really like Matthew, but all your name choices sound good.

Henrys my favourite, all nice except Leo. Like Edward, William too

Kantha · 14/09/2014 15:23

I like all your options. With Victoria and Olivia I like Henry the most and Leo the least (Liv and Leo being tricky to say together).

I think Charles/Charlie works well too.

Angelto5 · 14/09/2014 15:31

How about Michael?Smile

Sophronia · 14/09/2014 16:38

Alexander Henry is great.

WittyUsername102 · 14/09/2014 16:48

I like the idea of Alexander Matthew.

Surf25 · 14/09/2014 19:20

Alexander Henry is great

Fionafifi333 · 15/09/2014 15:07

Thanks to those who responded! I'm so confused. Leaning towards calling him Henry but really like how Alexander looks with our short surname. Even Leo works with it. Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

I like Alexander Leo. Or:

Justin Henry
Benedict Leo
Maximilian Henry.

Fionafifi333 · 15/09/2014 17:17

Do you prefer Alexander, Henry, or Leo as a first name? Keeping in mind his siblings names and our short surname.

Angelto5 · 15/09/2014 18:47

I love Alexander as it has many nn.

Fionafifi333 · 15/09/2014 23:55

Thank you all! Any other suggestions? Are these names boring?

OP posts:
mathanxiety · 16/09/2014 03:01

Alexander Henry
Henry Leo
Leo Matthew
Henry Beck

I prefer Alexander Matthew, from your combinations.

I like Henry and Leo too --
Leo Patrick
Henry Jacob

Suggestions:
Benjamin Patrick
or Benedict
Joseph Edward
Edmund Jacob
Frederick David

Jonathan

AbbieHoffmansAfro · 16/09/2014 16:00

I haven't really got a strong preference for any one of the thee names. Alexander edges it, I think.

I do like Frederick.

have you considered Philip, nn Pip? I love that name.

Fionafifi333 · 17/09/2014 00:09

Thanks all! I'm still stuck :/
