I've started previous threads about this but arghhh!
I'm due with a boy in May/June. Other children are Samuel (Sam) and Margaret (Maggie). Last name starts with Br and rhymes with stick.
For this little boy I like William, but I really want to use the family name Dawson in the middle. I just don't think they flow well.
DH wants Oliver Dawson Br_. I like the way it sounds but I don't love Oliver. I could see myself warming to it though.
We both think Henry is "okay". We like Ben and Jack as names but I don't think they go with our surname. I like Max but I don't want to repeat initials. James is one I thought of briefly (is FIL's name too) but I had a weird ex called that.
There must be one I'm not thinking of! Something classic, preferably with a shorter nickname, flows well with Dawson Surname. I love Charles/Charlie but a close friend has just used Charlie. She says she doesn't mind if I do too, but I think it would be strange.
I'd like to go with two middle names, like William Oliver Dawson Surname, but DH is totally anti and as the other DC only have one it does seem strange.
It'd be easy to abandon Dawson and just go with William and a new middle, but I like to use family or meaningful names in the middle, so for now, I'll hunt for another first name. Help?!
