Brother for Edison

[Namechangefornamechoice]

We have Ds, Edison who get called Ned a lot of the time. Currently pg and struggling for boy names! Think we're sorted for girls!

Ideally want something that can have a nickname so they have options. I like Rafferty but DH keeps going back and forth on it. He likes Abe which is OK but not sure what the long version would be, Abraham seems a bit much and I'm not religious but even I think Abel is a bit cruel to give to a younger brother (shame because I quite like it!)

Hit me...

Barnaby?

Gulliver
Gilbert
Rex
Magnus
Arthur

Not sure about Rex or Magnus but like the others. Unfortunately friends have just had a Barnaby!

Abram instead of Abraham?

surname-y names seem to fit here - Fletcher, Cooper, Archer, or Asher ( i love this one) but not sure if there are naturally evolving nicknames (except Ash for Asher)

Lincoln
Newton

Edison gorgeous name. And I dont usually get surnamey names. Love Ned as nn as well.
I think you need another surnamey name to match
Cooper
Fletcher
Franklin
Preston.
Although oscar Would go very nicely

Years ago, we had a neighbour with the grand old name of Skeffington, known as Skeff. I rather like it.

Tesla.

Just don't be surprised when they fight all the time.

Franklin was the other one I was trying to think of!!

Would both be 'traditional' names with a fresh modern twist, with a little history to inspire thrown in.

Not too out there, but just different enough.

Isaac?

Skeffington! Dare I?! And womb

Agree, surnamey type names would work, DH currently all over Gulliver which I'm really warming to as well. Like that we'd have a science type name and a literary one though not essential! Also like Asher but DH has a cousin called Ash which might rule it out.

Or we could just have a girl!

Science names:

Watt. Joules. Faraday. Kelvin.

I know a Gulliver who goes by Gully

How about Grayson or perhaps Bramwell for the more traditional but still in keeping?

Dashiell? (Dash for short). We know a little boy with this name and he's awesome
