A sibling for Timothy?

DC2 is due in the new year, for a girl we are thinking Lydia Frances (or possibly Lydia Jean) but we are struggling for boys names - we had the same problem with DS, who is called Timothy.
We need suggestions for boys names (girls names welcome too though!), we like Reuben, Alexander and Benjamin, but can't use them due to knowing them already or not going with our surname (begins with a B and ends with a strong 'um' sound).
Other names we considered for DS were Alastair, Niall, Anthony and Matthew.
Middle name is likely to be Francis (family name).

Thank you!

Lydia Jean wins over Lydia Frances for me.

Lydia and Frances are two of my favourite names. Gets my vote !

I would go for Alistair, because I like Tim and Al - although you may hate that!

Love the name Lydia, prefer Lydia Frances. James, Rupert or Rory if it's a boy?

Quite like Christopher and James, shall add them to the list. Keep coming back to Alastair too.
Thanks for the responses :-)

Alistair is perfect with Tim.
Or Peter.

Vijac · 27/10/2014 20:30

Robin instead of Reuben?

TheRealMaudOHara · 28/10/2014 10:09

I have an Alistair, only get compliments and very pleased we picked it. He's mostly Ally at the moment but I like that he can be Al if he chooses too! Good luck!
