Baby boy number 3 sibling to August and Franklin. We were all set on a name then DH throws a spanner in the works

Top picks:
Henry Rafe
Peter Cillian

The other option for a middle name is too outing if I post it but we both love it and it goes with both names (Henry and Peter)

Very open to new ideas

I love Caspar, Raphael etc but DH isn't so keen...

I do agree with PPs that Henry and Peter are both a bit... "normal" compared with August and Franklin (great names btw!)

I think Rafe fits better. Or Caspar, Raphael, etc.

What about Levison , Peter is a bit dull compared with your others . My mum has a lovely creative name and her much younger sister is called Janice , when I said to my mum how different it was to hers she said it was because her sister was a mistake and her mother wasn't interested , bit sad really.

Blurry picture I don't want to wake him. I went from 2cm to him being born in an hour. I also screamed "this is so unfair I wanted an epidural as he was coming out" I think he looks like a short necked rugby player. My smallest yet at 8lb

Will update when we fill the birth certificate I am leaning towards an R name.. Rafe, Rupert, Rufus

I think henry is boring compared to august and franklin. Peter is more unusual these days but still a bit plain. I wouldn't want to be third after the other two, like you ran out of more interesting names. How about cillian as first name ? Julius?

Oooh he's lovely. Sorry I missed the pic. Hmmm...R names. Roy, Reginald, Ronald, Ronan, Roni? Maybe not. Horace popped into my head for some reason.

Roman Peter or Rafe Peter would be lovely! (Think Henry Rafe has too many Rs). Love a family middle name. Congrats Flowers
