I am currently pregnant with our third DS. We managed to agree on a name for our first which we both liked. We had slightly different opinions for our second DS and ended up using both names (one as first name, the other for middle name). Anyway, we are now expecting another boy and are really struggling for names. We have names that one of us like and the other thinks is ok but not overly thrilled with. We have literally looked through 1000s of names!
So what names do you like and think go with our other two DSs names. We already have Joshua and Toby.
Names on our list include:
Louis
Ethan
James
Oliver (I like but really don’t like Ollie)
Edward (with Teddy as a nickname but this is the middle name for DS1)
William (but don’t really think it fits surname)
Nathan
Benjamin
Isaac
Matthew

I like your names except Ethan. My DS are Adam James and Luke William. A third DS would have been Benjamin Edward.
I also like Evan and Zachary.

Joshua, Toby and Isaac.

TinoTheArtisticMouse · 21/03/2018 05:31

I think Alistair would go nicely.

JoandMax · 21/03/2018 05:48

I think Isaac or Benjamin sound lovely with your little boys names.

Or Oscar, Theo, Patrick, Samuel?

Tikketyboo · 21/03/2018 05:50

Joshua Toby and Christopher?

Ethan or Isaac are my my favourites as they also go beautifully with your existing sons names, but are different in sound and feel to stand out too.

I love this thread as I am similarly stumped with DS2 name. If you like Nathan my DS is Nathaniel and I adore it. He could be Nat or Nate for short. My DH is James and I can’t see me calling DS2 that (although DH would like it!) but it’s a good classic name.

We are thinking
Jude
Theodore for Theo or Teddy when little
Joshua
Sebastian
Ivan
Rufus

We like Alexander but I dislike it shortened to Alex and DH hates shortening to Xander but we could both cope with Al!

Chocolatecake12 · 21/03/2018 12:58

I immediately thought Isaac as it goes so well with your other boys names.

JoandMax · 21/03/2018 16:22

Buglife - I LOVE Rufus! I can’t believe I didn’t think of it for my DSs!
