Hi. Our gorgeous boy was born last Sunday & still doesn't have a name!! We didn't know what we were having so couldn't 'fix' on a boy or girl name.
Boy short list So far is:

William
Charles/charlie
Gillespie
Jacob
Edward
Evan
Jerry
Joseph
Keaton
Daniel
Edward
Gabriel
Thomas /tommy
Reginald/reggie
Mitchell

So we have no clue!! Getting one where the full name and the nick name are good is tricky. All help/ideas welcome!!

Congratulations!
Have you got a mn picked? What does surname start with?

SweetPeaPods · 29/09/2014 19:19

On your list I like Joseph best, then William. Joseph isn't used enough imo.

Bowlersarm · 29/09/2014 19:20

Congratulations.

I love William nn Will, Joseph nn Joe, Daniel nn Dan, and Edward with either Ed, Ted or Ned.

All those are fantastic IMO.

Bowlersarm · 29/09/2014 19:22

Or I offer:

Jem / Jeremy
Kit / Christopher
Matt / Matthew

Jerry.

Hands down.

I find the others a bit..... meh, lifeless, imvho Shock Grin

On the basis that you've written Edward twice, I'd say that's your subconscious telling you which name to go for!

Great name. Can be Edward when a formal name is required or Ted, Teddy, Ned, Ed, Eddie, Woody etc for short.

Like: Will (not William), Edward, Thomas and Daniel.
Not so keen on: Gillespie, Jerry, Keaton, Mitchell and Gabriel.

Congratulations on your new arrival! Does he not look like one of the names?!

Love the name tommy ! Would be the name for my hypothetical dc3 should he be a boy . Edward is a great name too

AmeliaLayla · 29/09/2014 20:48

Edward...with Ted/Teddy for short!

Guin1 · 01/10/2014 15:27

Agree with pp - Edward with nn Ted/Teddy/Bear. Definitely best name on the list. Second choice would be Daniel.
