It's early days and it's bound to change but the shortlist so far is:

Jacob
William
Edward (teddy)
Isaac

I wanted to call baby Rupert but husband hates it so I think we will compromise and middle name will be Rupert (or William if we decide a different first name)

Any favourites?

Lovely names!
Edward/Teddy is my favourite.

Jacob and Edward, but not keen on Teddy.

Lebkuchenlover · 21/01/2016 13:36

Love Rupert!

Otherwise I'd pick Jacob or Edward (but I find Teddy too cutesy/beary).

MitzyLeFrouf · 21/01/2016 13:46

Edward is my favourite from your list but Teddy is too cutsey for me too. Eddie seems a bit more robust.

After Edward I like Isaac.

Teddy is gorgeous for a baby, but past being a toddler I think it would sound odd and would choose Ted instead.

Jellybean100 · 21/01/2016 13:57

If we chose Edward, it would be Edward, with nn teddy during babyhood and then Edward/Eddie when he grows up. Thanks guys!

I like Jacob and Isaac. Not keen on Edward or Rupert.

Sophronia · 21/01/2016 14:48

I like William best, followed by Jacob

iciclewinter · 21/01/2016 15:01

They're all nice names. I like Jacob and William the best.

Jacob and Issac by far, Id react with interest if anyone mentioned a male by this name (unusual, strong, individual) but Edwards and Williams are by he 1000s and so very rigid and unexciting.

toffeeboffin · 21/01/2016 15:23

Like them all.

Issac is my fave.

Sunshine511 · 21/01/2016 17:41

My favourite is Isaac 😊 I believe Jacob to be extremely popular but I do love it. William is a little unexciting to me, compared to the rest of your list. Edward is okay. Teddy is cute but trendy at the moment and I dislike the nn Eddie. Hope this helps. All reasonable names whichever you choose x

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 21/01/2016 17:43

Edward Rupert = yummy, but not sure you should do Teddy AND Rupert, unless you really like bears!

cecilelliott · 22/01/2016 19:54

William and Edward. Jacob and Isaac seem a bit "of the moment!"

Good luck!

Madbengalmum · 23/01/2016 14:51

Edward is my favorite

I love Teddy
