DS2 is due in a few weeks, DS1 is Toby (not Tobias) and the final shortlist for his little brother is:

Felix
Evan
Angus
Peter
Robin

Open to other suggestions too!

I like Angus best and think Toby and Angus go really well together.

I also like Robin but don't think it goes as well with Toby if that matters to you

17caterpillars1mouse · 17/12/2017 08:33

Toby and Felix also go really well. I'm just not that keen on Felix it's a cats name to me

Navegante · 17/12/2017 08:34

Angus or Robin

marmitecrumpets · 17/12/2017 08:37

Robin

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/12/2017 08:38

I like Toby and Peter.

ChocolateCrunch · 17/12/2017 08:52

Robin

Felix.

LoveInTokyo · 17/12/2017 09:59

I like Evan, Angus and Peter.

Felix and Robin are OK but IMO they sound like cute little boys' names but wouldn't work so well on a grown man. (Particularly Robin.)

I like Felix and Robin the best - lovely names.

Smoliver · 17/12/2017 12:11

I like Evan, Peter and Robin

PotterGrangerWeasley · 17/12/2017 12:40

I like Angus the best, but also like Evan. Not sure about Robin.

daisypond · 17/12/2017 13:02

I like them all except Robin - which isn't a grown man's name to me. I like Angus a lot - if you have Scottish connections. Peter is very nice as well and is due a comeback.

NotAgainYoda · 17/12/2017 17:47

Evan

Angus

I don't like Felix or Peter

NotAgainYoda · 17/12/2017 17:48

.. I prefer Robyn for a girl

SisterLocation · 17/12/2017 17:48

Love Felix

hungryradish · 17/12/2017 17:56

Toby & Felix are two of my favourite names, so Felix :)

BendydickCuminsnatch · 17/12/2017 18:39

My 6 week old is Evan :) My grandad is Robin so it's definitely a grown ups name to me! I know a Robin in his 30s too, he goes by Rob. Really like Robin!

Personally not keen on Angus or Peter, Felix is a bit too popular for me. I'd go with Robin (because I don't want Evan to shoot up the charts, haha :) )

dotdotdotmustdash · 17/12/2017 18:40

I think that's the best set of names I ever seen on MN! I love them all and I think any would be fab with Toby. If pushed, I would go for Felix.

(have you considered Keir?)

Usernamegone · 17/12/2017 21:13

I love Robin (but my DH doesn’t). All the Robins I know seem to be about 60 so it’s not a young boys name to me Smile

CakeRattleandRoll · 17/12/2017 23:23

Love Felix and Peter.

Thanks all for the feedback Xmas Grin

Keir was actually considered for DS1, can;t use it now as a family member has used something very similar in the intervening years...

Looks like we'll just have to wait and see what suits him!

I think Robin.

I went to school with an Angus and all the poor boy got called was "Anus"... Sorry.

horatioisabrick · 20/12/2017 17:15

Peter.

(Robin, Evan and Felix are also nice.)
