Hi, we struggled to decide on a name for DS2 and are now stumped for DS3. We have a William and Alexander already.
On the list so far are:

Edward (teddy/ ted)
Benedict
Charles (Charlie)
Thomas
Henry

I really like Sebastian but it is totally vetoed by DH.
Which of these do you like and any other suggestions?
Thanks Smile

Edward fits nicely :)

Starfishiecloverhv · 04/10/2014 18:33

I wouldn't worry about not having a name with 1 week to go. My sister has recently given birth and is still deciding between 4 names for her little girl.

You obviously like classic names...

I really like Edward nn Teddy
Benedict
Thomas
Henry

Not a fan of Charles / Charlie

I think Benedict is my favourite

A few other suggestions:
Oliver
Joshua
Elijah
Micah
Lucas
Timothy
Stephen
Rupert
Nathan / Nathaniel
Conrad
Dominic
Stanley

Good luck :)

Edward

Benedict is my favourite too but only if you're not going to get stressy about it getting shortened to Ben later in his life.

i like all of your suggestions we struggled to name ds2 until he was a week old, in the end i looked up the meaning of the names on our shortlist which ruled out a couple.

Love Edward known as Edward

Adam
Luke
Evan
Isaac
Zachary
Marcus
Dominic
Benjamin
James
William
Christopher

Definitely not Charlie

Thank you all for suggestions. Looks like benedict and Edward are the most popular which narrows it down a bit.
Interesting that Charlie less popular (DH will be pleased) Smile

Benedict or Benjamin

Kantha · 04/10/2014 22:57

Thomas or Edward

Clairej81 · 04/10/2014 23:03

Thomas gets my vote.

Other suggestions;

Harry
George
Arthur

Edward gets my very biased vote. We have a gorgeous little Teddy, who can also be a cheeky little Bear.

Also really like Benedict.

Shame about Sebastian!

Of those, I'd go for Benedict - but he will end up as Ben. Is your William ever a Bill? If so, NO and I'd go for Edward.

Shame about Sebastian...

LynetteScavo · 05/10/2014 16:39

James

Edward

Oliver

Rupert

Henry

Jonathan

James (Jamie/Jimmy)
Freddie
Archie

I like Teddy & Charlie from your list.

Another vote for Benedict!
