Name-changed to ask for your help- Baby no. 2 is due next week, and we can't decide on a boy's name (I think we are getting there for a girl).

Our current shortlist is:

Arthur Rory
Arthur Louis
Rory Arthur
Rory Edward

What do you like best? Our surname is Bright, and DS1 is called Sidney.

Or is there anything else you want to suggest?

They are all good but i think my favourite is Arthur Louis x

I like Arthur with Sidney. Arthur Louis would be my pick.

I like Arthur Sidney...

Can't stand Rory so Arthur Louis for me.

None of the toddlers I know would be able to pronounce Rory! He would be Waw-wee for a long time!

With!

Arthur Louis is part of Prince Williams name I think?

CarlaVeloso · 27/02/2015 10:22

In fact, I don't actually like Louis either - it's a rather effeminate name. If we're allowed to mix and match I'd say Arthur Edward.

Definitely Rory

Thanks all, I like Arthur Edward but worry that the sounds run together slightly making it sound like Redwood, though I guess that doesn't really matter!

I think I'm leaning towards Arthur, as I love Artie too as a nn. I'm also a bit concerned that Rory Bright has too many r's in it, but I still like it!

Arthur Edward sounds very fine indeed.

Rory Edward Bright sounds like such a happy chap!

samza10 · 27/02/2015 12:07

Rory Edward is lovely!
