They are all lovely. I'd go with James Edward. Congrats!

IoraRua · 31/10/2015 14:46

Congrats!
I don't like Theodore, it just seems a bit too current iyswim. Lots of little Theos out there!
The others are all absolutely fine. I like Edward, Frederick and James the most, though I'm sure I would go for two siblings having the same initial. It's too matchy imo.

IoraRua · 31/10/2015 14:47

That should be I'm not sure Blush

Pixi2 · 31/10/2015 14:58

James or George.
Congratulations.

ChippyMinton · 31/10/2015 15:00

Edward

MitzyLeFrouf · 31/10/2015 15:00

Congratulations OP!

Edward would be my choice. Eddie is sweet.

ExBallerina · 31/10/2015 15:00

Congratulations!

Thomas is my favourite. Thomas Frederick.

Kim82 · 31/10/2015 15:02

I'd go with George or Thomas. Theodore and Frederick are also lovely but there are loads of Theo's and Freddie's around at the moment.

hattymattie · 31/10/2015 15:02

James Edward, although they are all nice. Theodore would be shortened to Theo.

Mummamayhem · 31/10/2015 15:03

George is the best

CakeRattleandRoll · 31/10/2015 16:31

Edward
Theodore
George

In that order.

CPtart · 31/10/2015 16:36

William, Edward and James I love. In that order.
Not keen on the others.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 31/10/2015 16:38

All nice except George.

I'd put them in this order:
Edward
Frederick
James
William
Theodore
Thomas

TheCraicDealer · 31/10/2015 16:42

OP, why have you not attached a photo to this thread?! Smooshy newborn!

I don't think you can go wrong with any of them but James, George and William are v close to me personally. And Edward nn Teddy might be too cute to resist!

smartyclogs · 31/10/2015 16:46

James

It's lovely.
All the others except Thomas are a bit too popular for my liking, I know lots of boys with the names on your list. I only know adult James'.

Error404usernamenotfound · 31/10/2015 16:49

George or Edward biased

CrumpetHead · 31/10/2015 16:57

Love James or Thomas, ds2 is due Christmas Eve and is gonna have James as a middle name, we were going for Thomas James originally but have chosen something else now

Lweji · 31/10/2015 17:00

Any, although Theodore and Frederick are my least favourite.

ChipsandGuac · 31/10/2015 17:03

You have all 3 of my sons names there so very good choices! Wink

NameChange30 · 31/10/2015 17:16

James - love
Frederick - like (nn Freddie is cute)
Theodore - like (but popular as a PP said)
Thomas - a bit boring but OK
William - goes well with Elizabeth
George - NO! Don't like the name. Plus wouldn't give my son the same name as a recently born prince, for fear of people thinking I'm a huge fan of the royal family.

NameChange30 · 31/10/2015 17:17

Oh I forgot Edward. Don't think it goes with Elizabeth.

celtictoast · 31/10/2015 17:25

They're all nice classic names.

Theodore Edward
James Theodore
Edward George

TangledUpInGin · 31/10/2015 17:29

William Thomas without a doubt Grin

MitzyLeFrouf · 31/10/2015 17:31

'All the others except Thomas are a bit too popular for my liking, I know lots of boys with the names on your list. I only know adult James'.'

I know tons of little boys called James. I'm sure it's still a top 10 name. And probably always will be.

MitzyLeFrouf · 31/10/2015 17:33

I do like James though and would put it second in the list after Edward.
