Wow, thanks everyone! That's really helpful Smile

A lot of love for Matthew which I didn't expect. I love the meaning, and that it's fairly uncommon these days.

Winners seem to be Matthew, Alexander and Joseph!

Grumpysquash - is your Alexander shortened to Alex or is he mostly called by his full name / another nn?

Anyone else want to vote?? I promise to stop posting so much after this, think we're getting closer to a decision now!

Hard to choose as all very nice, but I think Joseph Matthew.

JAZA · 10/01/2016 10:05

NoahVale - I really feel the need to say this, but it would be Matt/Matty? Grin

NoahVale · 10/01/2016 10:22

oh yes, my mistake,
but, then I am still not Grin

NoahVale · 10/01/2016 10:23

is Mattie the famale version? or just my bad spelling?

NoahVale · 10/01/2016 10:23

Blush and Matt of course

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 10/01/2016 10:24

Alexander James is my favourite.

AnotherTimeMaybe · 10/01/2016 10:26

Alexander James!!

Error404usernamenotfound · 10/01/2016 10:27

Alexander James.
Joshua Luke is my second choice from that list.

All lovely names though Smile

ItsANewDayToday · 10/01/2016 10:28

All good.

Why are you pairing the names up?

Don't worry about the middle name too much, in daily life you don't use it.

ItsANewDayToday · 10/01/2016 10:29

Btw Matthew is lovely

Nataleejah · 10/01/2016 10:44

I go for Alexander James. Alexander is my dad
Then Matthew is my cousin.

TheOptimisticPessimist · 10/01/2016 11:09

Matthew Joseph. It think it flows a little better with Naomi than the others, and it's a great, solid name!

Antisoc · 10/01/2016 16:01

I would just choose the name you like the best and not worry about how is sounds with his sisters name or with his middle name. As long as sibling names aren't too matchy matchy they I don't think it's should be a concern.
It's good if siblings have different initials though.

tuilamum · 10/01/2016 16:37

Alexander James sounds the best IMO

MadrigalElectromotive · 10/01/2016 16:45

Another one for Matthew Joseph. It is classic and not super popular at the moment. I think it's lovely!

CPtart · 10/01/2016 17:32

Luke Alexander
All nice names except Charlie

Zhabr · 10/01/2016 17:51

I know several boys called Alexander James. Another vote for Matthew here.

Charlie/Joseph/Thomas/Joshua all too common.
