Hi guys :)
I think this pregnancy has completely destroyed every last grain of my common sense. So my list of potential names for my potential son (I don't yet know the sex) is as follows:

Barnaby
Theodore (Theo)
Baxter
Mycroft (I know...)
Austun (Ozzy).

My eldest is called Tristan and I still love his name!
What do you think would be a good name for his brother?

Just remembered some more:

Jethro
Benedict

I love Benedict (Ben) but DP vetoed it Sad

Also like Theodore (Theo) but not keen on the rest of the names on your list.

Tristan I know has a brother called Sebastian.

Benedict and Theodore are my fave. I don't like Mycroft at all, the others are ok.

Penguinotterfoxbadger · 12/03/2015 19:32

Austin is nice. I don't like it with a y

Theodore and Barnaby are also good names imo

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 12/03/2015 19:42

I like Theodore, Benedict is ok.

Don't like any of the others at all, sorry.

RL20 · 12/03/2015 20:19

Love Theo, it's one of my favourites Grin
By personal choice I'm not keen on the others.
Riley
Leo
Max
Reagan
Jaxon

Good luck!

Barnaby - love it
Theodore - fine
Benedict - lovely

Tristan is gorgeous. Please, please don't pair it with Baxter, Mycroft or Austyn. Mycroft is downright abominable. Sorry, but it is.

Theodore is lovely, Barnaby not wildly to my taste but a perfectly nice name. Mycroft - can't see beyond M. Holmes. Austyn with a y is just ghastly - it sounds as if he would have siblings calked Brandyn and Jaymee-Leigh. Austin is fine.

Mycroft if by favorite by far
Theodore is second

Qwebec · 13/03/2015 00:43

terrible typos
Mycroft IS MY favorite by far

mumhum · 14/03/2015 13:19

Mycroft, that's Sherlock's elder brother (mmmm, Benedict Cumberbatch....)

HazleNutt · 14/03/2015 13:23

Theodore, Benedict or Austin (not Austyn).

ButterflyOfFreedom · 14/03/2015 13:41

I think Tristan & Austin are too similar sounding.
I personally wouldn't go for another T name either so would rule out Theodore.
Baxter is ok, Mycroft not so much.
I'd say Barnaby goes best.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 14/03/2015 13:42

Oh just seen you added Jethro & Benedict.
Definitely not Jethro but Benedict is fab!
