To go with George

[m33r]

Am 38 weeks and hoping to go any day. We are having another boy and had decided on Max but my friend had her baby last week and called him Max so it's now out for us.

Our list had:

James (calling Jamie)
Benjamin (Ben)
Charlie (though would put Charles on birth certificate which I'm not mad on but love Charlie)

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

We loved mikey but couldn't have Michael (George and Michael...)

Really struggling. DS1 was named after my late FIL so didn't have this last time.

Our last name starts with an M.

Thanks in advance!

I like all of those names better than George.

Anyway, go with Max if you want to, or use Michael, I agree Mikey is a nice name.

Oh, sorry, did you mean you wanted a name that matched with George. I thought you meant you couldn't use Max so were going to go with George....

Yes, to go with George. We already have George. X

I've got a George.

Other names on our boy list were:

Edward
Henry
Elliot
Sebastian
James

I love George.

What about Arthur, Henry, Dexter or Lucas?

Joey? (Joseph)

I had George and Max on my list and some of the previous suggestions too but I also like Gregory, Alexander, Dominic, Felix and Hugo.

We have a Max. The other names on our shortlist were Finn and Toby.

Or you could always use Max if it's not your closest friend!

I don't see why you can't use Max if you want to. You may not be friends forever and you should use the name you love.

Any classic name would go with George, lots of suggestions above and I'll add Louis & Thomas to those.

William.
Luke
Thomas
Joseph
Jacob
Adam
John (I heard John on the telly last night and thought, it's such a lovely name, why does nobody use it anymore?)

I love Ben as well. Benjamin or Benedict are both nice.

Oh and Matthew
Edward
Dominic....

Thanks everyone. Great suggestions here. We also like Lucas but can't have George Lucas (it's a Star Wars thing!).

Went backwards and forwards on sticking with max but it just doesn't sit right with me any more. She is a brilliant friend and I'm sure would 't mind at all but just not sitting with me any more. Thank you all so much again xx

I really love James. I think it flows nicely with George with the first sounds being the same, without the confusion of having the same initials.

Pp already said Arthur - going to put a second vote in for this, I think it goes really well with George and your other choices. Mind you if you love Charlie then go with that! I would also be putting Charles on bc so he has more "adult" name for use later on if he wishes. I sympathise with not wanting to use Max any longer though it's a pity. Is she a local friend? Would your children grow up together, same class? My brother has the same name as a younger cousin (so grandparents have two DGC same name) which everyone was very about at the time but of course used to now. Perhaps your Max might be Maxi for a while (if you like Charlie), to differentiate.

Go with Max if that's what you both wanted.

We also have a George - named before the prince!

I really like the name John. If I had another boy would call him John. I think Johnny is the coolest name ever. It is not one of the typical ones around at the moment (like Lucas or Max) and he would really stand out in ten or twenty years time, plus it is just so timeless.

Micah?

Miles
Adam
Luke
Daniel
Jacob
Henry
Isaac
Nathaniel
Christopher
Peter
Thomas
William

Given the royal George and Charlotte prepare for a lot of "oh was it after..." if you go woty Charlie. Although it does go well

2 of my friends (who are also friends) both half girls called Olivia 2 years age apart from each other but other than confusion at play dates lol there's no hard feelings. Go with what you like

I've got a George ( named after the late , great George Michael )
If I had had another , he'd have been Frederick , to be known as Freddie ( Mercury )
Go with Max , if that's the name you like best

James
Oliver
Henry

I love George too.

James is lovely with George.

Benedict
Magnus
Gulliver
Rafe
Arthur

William
James (Jim)
Hamish
Henry
Harry
Thomas

George and Arthur?
