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.

Punt in for Rupert as it's my favourite name hubs wouldn't let me have.
Second vote for a suggestive Henry. The name i had convinced him of finally but baby was a girl

Emma's brother is definitely Matthew.

I tend to agree really. It's just that we have quite a common surname, so think there must be a lot of Matthew Surnames around! Not necessarily in the same age range. We can always give him a bonkers unusual middle name Grin.

I do love Rupert though. Also love Wilfred, but think it's having a moment whereas Rupert is a bit more classic. Love Roo as a nn for a little one.

When I saw only the title I thought immediately 'Matthew or Thomas'.

From your list: Nathaniel and Lewis are lovely names and go well, and really like your additions of Harry/Henry, Max and Patrick.

OP our DCs and their friends are all having babies lately. We know 2 little Ruperts and 2 little Wilfreds.

The siblings named Emma and Rupert I know are in their 30s. I think you’re right that Rupert is timeless.

I always think of Jack as going with Emma, for some reason :)
