Baby names

We have a shortlist!

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?

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

Good luck!

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

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

Issac is my fave.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Love Rupert!

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