Looking for a name to go with his sisters names. We often shorten the girls names so looking for something with a nice diminutive too. Like Arthur and Spencer atm but not keen or Art/Artie or Spence. Any names we may not have thought of mumsnetters?

I was going to say Arthur, I don't think in gets shortened.

Sidney, Stanley?

Coey2016 · 19/12/2017 18:12

I thought Stanley initially

MotherofPearl · 19/12/2017 18:39

Another vote for Wilfred nn Wilf.
If DC3 had been a boy we'd have gone for Wilfred. Also like Albert nn Bert.

They are good solid old fashioned names so Albert, Stanley or Sidney would work well (my Grandpa was Sidney so I'm biased towards that!)

I also love Isaac - my first choice for if I have a boy next time...

user1472334322 · 19/12/2017 20:10

I know a Mabel who's brothers are William and Sidney if that helps at all.

Laurence, nn Laurie.
