We've whittled down to three names at the moment.
Stanley Thomas
Thomas Stanley
Alexander James

Our surname is a one syllable name, hence the longer names

Thanks in advance

I like Stanley Alexander.

Less common first name. And every child has James in middle it seems. I don't like Thomas at all

I know it's not on your list, but I also like Thomas James.

Stanley Thomas. Stan is a great name, I can't convince DH though.

Definitely Alexander James. Hearing the name Stanley makes me think of the kid in Sixth Dense shouting "Staring Stanley!" Don't like Stanley. Like the other three so maybe Alexander James Thomas which sounds really good.

Thank you for your thoughts! Because we're keeping the names from our families, we haven't got anyone to share any opinions. Thank you dontkillmyvibe, I couldn't work out why beau had said not ST. I promise our surname doesn't start with I or D! That would be a definite no no! Xx

Beau what's wrong with the initials ST? Unless the OP's surname begins with D I can't see any issue?

Agree that Thomas/Tom and Alex are so so popular already... I also know quite a few girls called Alex (Alexandra).
