I like all the names on your list Smile other suggestions:

  • Edward
  • William
  • Zachary
  • Joseph
  • Marcus
  • Lucas
  • Jacob
  • Oliver
  • Harrison
I think it should be another name that shortens Smile

I know about 20 Daniels, Samuels and Thomases. I don't know any Benedicts and I rather like it as a name.

As for Lily's suggestions - there are a lot of really popular names on that list too (William, Zachary, Lucas and Oliver in particular - at least around here in the leafy home counties).

LilyKing0909 · 03/12/2015 14:49

Yeah, but Matthew isn't exactly unusual :)

BrassMonkey84 · 03/12/2015 14:51

You're right there Lily! Tempted to be a bit more unusual this time but will probably chicken out!

Matthew's brother is Michael. There sorted. Grin

Matthew is lovely and not that popular as some of the names mentioned (e.g. Samuel, Oliver, William).

How about
Quentin
Dominic
Elliot

LilyKing0909 · 03/12/2015 15:01

I guess it's just regions! Matthew is really popular here!

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 03/12/2015 15:02

YY to Elliot that goes really well & is a lovely name.

From your list I think Thomas is the best.

LilyKing0909 · 03/12/2015 15:02

I like Elliott too - but with the double t

choccyp1g · 03/12/2015 15:03

I know some Matthew and Laura combinations, so how about Laurence?

hobitty · 03/12/2015 15:19

But Laurence is a girls name, the female version of Laurent. At least on the Continent....

Perhaps safer to spell it Lawrence?

tinybellows · 03/12/2015 15:25

Dominic?

IoraRua · 03/12/2015 15:27

David, Joshua, Jonah, Eric, Edgar, Peter, Joseph, Liam, Niall.

From previous suggestions I love Michael, Jacob, Lucas and Dominic.

Really don't like Benedict. Your other choices are nice though.

Twoseventhsaweasley · 03/12/2015 17:08

Daniel is a brilliant name. How about James, Luke, David, Joseph, Ethan, Nathan, Stephen, Caleb and Isaac?

PestoSkiissimos · 03/12/2015 17:10

Bernard

tuilamum · 03/12/2015 18:28

Richard
Graham
James
Thomas
Henry

Benedict is good if you're going for something different Smile
