[Whichonetochoose]

Our list is as follows, please critique and give your opinion:

• Theodore
• Frederick
• Thomas
• William

His sister is called Elizabeth :) Thanks in advance!!!

What lovely names! Edward is my favourite but I'm biased too :) I also love Frederick (Freddie) :)

Elizabeth and George. Very classy and Royal

I have a James William. And would have had a Thomas. James is popular but timeless, which I like. Also Jimmy Billy is a silly lovely pet name.

I love Frederick. I think Freddie is incredibly cute for a little boy.

I honestly don't think you can go wring with any of them. All very nice.

James. Call him James!

Edward or Frederick

My favourites are Theodore and Edward, but I think Frederick goes the best with Elizabeth :)

James, Thomas, William or Frederick. Not so keen on Theodore. Great names overall though.

Edward - it has lots of nn potential

Thomas, or Frederick. I've heard a million Edwards lately, and whilst popularity doesn't bother me a jot, I'm tired of hearing 'Eddie' being hollered.

Great names. With an Elizabeth I would steer away from other current Royal names. I just think Elizabaeth and William or George sound too Windsor. Love Freddie and James.

Another suggestion - my DS (nearly 3) is Freddie but his full name is Alfred. What do you think of Alfred nn Fred?

James,George or William nn Bill I love.

I love James, George and William.

Frederick Theodore is a fab combination, and a good match with Elizabeth.
I wouldn't use George or William, especially not with Elizabeth.

I like them all, but I think Frederick goes the best :) x

Here's something I don't think I've ever said on a MN baby names thread... I like them all!!

Since they're all classic and fairly popular I'd go for one that gives you more options for nicknames- so Edward could be Ed, Eddie, Teddy, Ted, Ned; Theodore could be Teddy, Ted, Theo; James could be Jamie or Jim. Etc etc. There's not a lot you can do with George, and there's an awful lot of Freddies about at the minute...

Edward James.Ed/Eddie if it must be shortened.
I also love William - it's DS1's middle name. He dislikes his first name, so often uses William. His cousin is Billy.
I really like Elizabeth, too, and don't think the initial thing matters
Congratulations :)

Dear All, thank you so much for taking time to give your opinions, you've been very helpful! We have now narrowed it down to 2 names. So our final choices are:

Edward (and Elizabeth)

or

George (and Elizabeth)

Which one would you go for?

Thanks!!!

Either is fine.

Just don't call him Philip.

George

Edward- so gorgeous!

I vote for Edward, George and Elizabeth is just a bit too royal sounding.
