Rufus
Max
Felix

We have a Lily already and the surname is Friend

DH says Max Friend sounds silly as in maximum friend!

Sorry but none of them seem to flow how about Albert?

Liadain · 04/09/2017 22:10

Max Friend does sound silly, your dh is right.

Not a fan of Rufus at all so I guess that leaves me recommending Felix! None are great options tbqh OP. They just sit a bit oddly with the surname.

SuperBeagle · 04/09/2017 22:15

None of them sound right with the surname.

IggyAce · 04/09/2017 22:24

Sorry but I agree with pp non sound right with your surname.

Rufus.

It's a fantastic name.

WaxOnFeckOff · 04/09/2017 22:28

Rufus sounds the best but I;m not a fan.

What about Alex instead of Felix? Dexter instead of Max?

Boatmistress17 · 04/09/2017 22:29

Maximus Friend

grufallosfriend · 04/09/2017 23:02

None of those sound good, worst is Felix Friend.

How about
Thomas Friend
Quentin Friend
Edward Friend
Magnus Friend

CakeRattleandRoll · 05/09/2017 00:51

I think Felix Friend sounds fine. That would be my choice.

MsPassepartout · 05/09/2017 01:09

I agree that Max doesn't work with your surname.

Rufus is the best of the 3.

Sophronia · 05/09/2017 01:23

Rufus Friend is the best of the three, but it sounds quite close to Rupert Friend, the actor.

17caterpillars1mouse · 05/09/2017 06:42

Rufus

grufallosfriend · 05/09/2017 07:20

I think there are too many F sounds in Rufus Friend.

Chaffinch4 · 05/09/2017 08:19

I actually like the sound of Felix Friend and Rufus Friend. My favourite is Rufus.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/09/2017 08:21

Rufus Friend, sounds good to me !

BellMcEnd · 05/09/2017 08:22

Rufus Friend sounds fab!

Theveryhungrybutterfly · 05/09/2017 08:40

None are great... rufus friend has a repeated f, Felix ok if you don't mind alliteration sounding a bit cartoony... max friend does sound like maximum friend Im afraid!

Digby? Jesse?

grufallosfriend · 05/09/2017 10:52

A first name without an F would be better imo

Pooshweens · 05/09/2017 13:00

Thank you everyone, appreciate your feedback!

I like Felix best from the list, and I think it sounds best with your surname

Sequence · 05/09/2017 18:13

All three are nice names but I think Rufus Friend sounds best Smile
