What is Edith's little brother called?

[DorothyBastard]

DH and I are expecting a boy. Our 2yo DD is Edith, often called Edie.

We both want a name that is instantly recognisable, that people know how to spell, but that there (hopefully) won't be another one in his class at school. We like quite old-fashioned, 'boring' sort of names; but not popular/classic. So not Peter, Thomas, etc.

DS's surname will be really long, double barrelled with five syllables total, so we don't want more than 2 syllable first names really. Surname starts with an N so ideally the name shouldn't end with an N to avoid them running into each other. I'd also like to avoid a name starting with E.

We also need to like a diminutive of the name.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Charlie
Saul
Rowan

Seth?

Arthur
Gilbert/Gil/Bertie
Archie
Wilfred

Joseph

Oscar

Frank
Lisle
Lev
Jake

Meant to add, could shorten Joseph to Joe

George
Chas (Charles)
Albie
John
Bill (William)

Arthur
Archibald
Henry
Freddie

Jesse

Joe, Abe, Seth?

Bernard
Herbert
Hector
Casper

Howard
Leonard
Raymond

My Nanna was Edith, her brothers were Robert, George and Herbert. I particularly like Herbert, I think you should go for it! Lol

Peter is totally not popular! Though is fairly classic.

Leonard? Paul? Timothy? Simon?

Does it need to be 'grandad chic ' ?

Frank

My friend's Edith has a little brother called Isaac, often shortened to Ike :)

Stanley was the first name that came to mind when I read your thread title.

Eric
Seth
Albert
Alfred
George
William

My great aunt was Edie and her brother was Walter

Edmund

I've got one of those.

I was going to say Isaac too (ours seems to have adopted the nn Spike).

John

Edie goes well with Gabe. Obv Gabriel has 3 syllables but I don't think it matters too much if he's generally known by the shortened version.
