Kit
Rupert
Fergus
Caspar
Jonah
Marcus
Wilfred
Nathaniel
Albert
Oscar
Vincent
Lewis
Theodore

Any of these^^ or something else?

We can't have anything ending with N or beginning with I. Also needs to sound nice in a Home Counties and an Irish (Ulster) accent.

Opinions and suggestions most welcome.

I know an Emma with a brother Sebastian. Any good?

Love Arthur, but DH doesn't and it seems to be a front runner for the Royal baby, if it's a boy.

We like Sebastian, but can't think of any nice shortenings. Assume it will get shortened as it's four syllables. Also, it ends with N, which sounds a bit weird with our surname.

William or Max

I quite like William, but DH has vetoed. We know quite a few of them anyway (I know none of our names are exactly uncommon, but William is especially popular among our friends' children).

DH vetoed Robert as he knows too many adult Roberts. I like it though.

We like Matthew - have added it to the list.

Not keen on Jake as it reminds me of Baby Jake on CBeebies!

Nicholas is nice, but DH not keen.
