A name for Edward's brother?

[MotherOfGlob]

Really struggling, Harry, George and Joe are already 'taken' by close family members. I really like Henry George but DP really doesn't. Any suggestions please?

NanaNina we had loads of beautiful girl's names prepared, but no. Oliver is lovely, and can be shortened as well, which I like.

DS2 was going to be Edward but in the end he was Tom.

I also like

Victor
Gregory

I think Henry is perfect too. Here's hoping he really looks like a Henry when he makes an appearance! I also like:
Hector and Edward
Fergus and Edward
Charlie and Edward
Theo and Edward
Jonah and Edward
Benjamin and Edward
Oscar and Edward

Henry is simply lovely. Try convincing your husband? ;)

It's a really brilliant name, imo.

My favourite it names arm are:

Caspar
Arthur
Isaac

Think they'd all go well with Edward.

Favourite boy names not it names.

And atm not arm!

Showing my age here, but what about William?

Then you can have Bill and Ted!

We have an Edward (nn Teddy) and an Albert (nn Bertie). Love Henry too.

cockadoodle that would be totally bodacious.

cockadoodle

Oliver?

Thomas

DP has just read this thread and is warming to Henry because of the positive comments. Hurrah! Loads to choose from now that we hadn't thought of though, thanks all. Will be back with the final decision (sooner rather than later hopefully )

A friend of mine has an Edward ... and a Henry and William. I love the name Henry!

cockadoodle - we thought 'Bill and Ted' at the time (over 10 years ago). Thankfully that cultural reference seems to be lost on today's teenagers

Thomas was my first thought.

Charles
Arthur
Alexander
Peter
Richard
James
Christopher
Micheal
Patrick
Winston
Joseph
David
Matthew
Lucian
Andrew
Daniel
Samuel
Thomas
I'm with your DP on Henry. I think it's awful. I can't fathom why everyone raves over the name

Henry is lovely! I've always liked the shortening Hal.
Alexander also great, like Daniel too and Hector-as mentioned above.
Jack also goes well I think

Might also slip in Patrick?

I would avoid Toby as a name that seems to be everywhere at the moment and (IMO) will probably "date" faster than all your classic choices.

Good luck!

Thanks cecilelliott I really like Hal too.

I like Henry. You said your dh likes Francis so could you use that as a mn? Henry Francis sounds lovely.

The Edward I know has a little brother named Robert.

Bertieboo - we have a Edward (nn teddy) just about to have DS2 and Albert is our top!
William / Arthur / Alexander / Ben / Thomas all taken.

Others on out list:
Daniel
Spencer
Barnaby

I LOVE Frederick but not sure if can do teddy & freddy!

Andrew
Robert
Alfred
