Brother for Harriet

[Lem0nsparkles]

We are struggling for a shortlist for Harriet's brother.

We like more traditional names. Our favourite was Thomas but that's out due to family members new baby!

Middle name will be James.

Suggestions most welcome!

I know someone who called her children Paul & Paula...both after Paul McCartney! Compared to that Harry & Harriet sound perfectly normal.

Why not have a name no-one else will be using
Barry
Jason
Roger
Darren
Humphrey
Norman

What do you mean there's a good reason why these aren't popular? Wait till your children have kids...

[SevenNationArmyWife]

Michael. I think it’s due a revival and hits on your traditional theme. Or:

Lucas
Luke
Peter
Samson
David
Paul
George
Charles

If you go for Henry you could end up with two Harries (is that the plural of Harry? Maybe two Harrys!)
Mungo
Milo
Thomas (Tom)
A less popular but traditional name: Andrew, David, Jonathan etc

[purpleweasel]

By the way, how close is the family member called Thomas? Unless they are really close it shouldn't necessarily put you off. My brother in law & his cousin had same name & at one time were in same (village) school though not in same year! Mattered much less as they grew up as they saw much less of each other

Toby
Robert
Jacob
Dominic
Nathan
Rory
Reece
Ethan

Sorry op as much as love the name Henry (and I really do) you can't use it with Harriet, and definitely not Harry/Harrison! 😂

Hugo? Or maybe...
James
Arthur
Gregory
Alistair
Emerson
Emmett
Willfred
Rupert

[Ginnotginger]

Frederick James - Harriet/Harry and Freddie
Alexander James - Harriet/Harry and Alex/Xan
Dominic James - Harriet/Harry and Dom/Nick
Nicholas James - Harriet/ Harry and Nick
Adam James - Harriet/Harry and Adam
Isaac James - Harriet/Harry and Isaac/Zac

My daughter would have been Nicholas James and I still like it 25 years on.

So much love for Alexander James (I'm biased. I have one)
Out of everyone elses suggestions I think Theodore is 2nd best to Alexander James.

[PandorasXbox]

George.

[heavenforbid]

I love Rory. Harriet and Rory sounds nice. Could he even be Rory Thomas?

[Lem0nsparkles]

Thank you ladies, Harry would never have been an option, and we wouldn't shorted Henry either. Harriet gets called Hattie for short!

Harriet loves the name Finley for her brother!

[pilates]

Rory or William

[Lem0nsparkles]

I think we are heading towards:
William James
Or
Finley James

Thoughts?

[purpleweasel]

William James is nice & solid, with scope for good shortenings if you like

[pipilangstrumpf]

Of those two Finley because Fin is a nicer nickname than Will/Willy imo.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Rory James or William James.

[Intercom]

William

[WhatKatyDidNotDo]

Theodore
Oscar
Matthew

I Love Henry and Harriet! Also really love Charles :)

[mondler]

My dream twins would be Matthew and Harriet! But it's from a tv show and I just think they work so well together! I think both William and Finley would work well with both sibling and middle name. I agree about avoiding Henry just because the only knickname I know for it is Harry (pretty sure prince Harry is officially a Henry).

[daisypond]

William is better than Finley.

[Bennygoak]

I know two Harriets and their siblings are:

Harriet, James and William

Harriet, Georgina and Charles (Charlie)

[GinnyBaker]

William better if you don't mind will as n name.

What about theodore (teddy) james or thaddeus (thaddy) james ?

[MelinaM]

I was going to suggest Henry James🤗
