[lugo40]

Any ideas? We're totally stuck. Only name we so far agree on is Albert.

Edward and james are maybes. I would much prefer an uncommon traditional name though

Matthew
Thomas

Gregory
Lawrence
Benjamin
Dean

Justin
Edgar/Edmund
Peter and Michael, rare for his age!
Stephen

Quentin

David
Frederick
Laurence
Nicholas
Patrick
Robert
Timothy
Vincent
Francis

Alexander
Anthony
Conrad
Christopher (NN Kit)

Hmmm where mumsnet view on Max?

Gabriel
Hector
Lawrence
William

Ptolemy

or another classic Greek name to match

Oscar
William
Alexander
George

I just suggested Max on another thread so yes I like it. Are there many where you live?

Throws Asa in as another suggestion.

i don't think there are many Max's where we live. Is it still a popular name?

I know about a million Maxs in west London. Fewer elsewhere. What about Hugo?

Quite like Hugo but i think it might be one of those names which is hard to warm to

Maxwell

I know lots of children called Max.

The Penelope I know has two little brothers called Christopher and Michael. I don't know if either of those appeal.

I like Hugo.

Thank you. Nothing really jumps out at us like Max does. I'm nervous as it's in the 20s on the baby name list but I work with newborns in my area and have not heard max for a long time.
I think we will go for Max Leonard

Thomas
Barnaby
Benjamin

Nice name. Good luck.

Great name. Yes, very popular, but it doesn't stop it being cool.

Austin.

It works really well with Penelope. And it's a classic name, I don't know a single other Austin but we love it.

Something classical like Hector.
