I always knew my first son would be called James. And my second Robert. I am a Scot and those names are important to me. Weirdly I seem to have dated more than my fair share of guys named James.. Which could make Christmas very confusing. Grandpa James (my daddy) , James (my hubby) and son (James)

I like George best of your choices. Hunter is a bit.... well, I can see a possible rhyming problem when he reaches secondary school. Sorry, but just being honest about what came to mind.

Harrison is okay. I prefer Henry (Harry or Hal as possible nicknames if you want one).
Alistair, Arthur, Fred, John ....?

Angus

Scott

If in doubt. Use a family name. It makes everyone proud and gives a sense of respect and care.

Love Hunter and Harrison.

George is way too popular.

Max and Noah also nice.

How about,

Flynn

Brook
Logan
Fraser

Thank you for your options and suggestions!

We love Moah so that's for that - just unsure if it does with an A surname

Also like Arlo which was suggested to us today.

As an aside our girls choice is Esme - would love to hear MN thoughts!!! Shock

I love Arlo.

Also like Milo & Jethro, Seth & Silas.

I always wanted a Jonah but husband didn't like it.

BelleEsme · 19/11/2015 16:57

My DD is Esme so I love it Grin

Boys names I struggled with also so glad I had a girl!

The only boys name I really like is Remy Smile

Like George best. And love Esme.
