I love the above three but can't use the latter two for various reasons (Alexander is still a possibility).

I also like (but don't particularly want to use): Corin, Auden, Hugh, Jonah, Roran and Barnaby.

Has anyone got any suggestions? Our surname is one-syllable, and we want something fairly classic, not too popular and preferably with an easy nn option.

I have an Alexander and a Nathan. I also considered Joel, Saul and Adam.

Thanks eveyone - I love Hector and Rory but they both sound odd with our surname, sadly. I can't use Lawrence but LOVE it.

Sue - I have a Nathaniel! Love Saul but I think my religious grandparents would be perplexed...;)

Not keen on Harrison, I do like Thomas and William, but they're ten-a-penny round here.

Edgar

Love Edgar! And Edmund, but husband not convinced.

I love Rohan and Rowan too but they don't work very well with our surname. Might be surmountable though!

Keep them coming :) thanks eveyone

I've loved the name Edgar since my DS2 was obsessed with these books:

www.amazon.co.uk/Dinkin-Dings-Frightening-Guy-Bass/dp/1847150683

One of the characters is called Edgar and at a book festival he got to meet the author who got a group of kids up to play the characters and he got to be Edgar :) It was all he talked about for a long time especially as he got the booked signed and the author put a not in it about being the best Edgar.

Never had any more so never got to use it plus it doesn't really go with our surname

Barnaby (Barny)

WankerDeAsalWipe · 23/06/2015 21:05

oops just saw you don't want to use Barnaby so scrap that :)

WinterBabyof89 · 23/06/2015 21:14

I have a Theo already, & DS2 will be named Eddie, if that's any use? (Probably not if DH has vetoed similar names!)

I love the name Quinn but DH not keen. Also considered & discounted Austin.
