Due DS2 in a few weeks and DH and I seem to be going round in circles thinking of names. My only ‘criteria’ is that it is a proper name and one which could be used whether DS is a judge or a builder IYSWIM Grin

DS1 is called George and our middle name has been decided as Alexander.

Our list is:

James - but is this too similar to George?

Thomas - I love this name but DS1 is obsessed with Thomas the Tank Engine so it seems a bit odd using it now.

Matthew - recent addition from DH and I love it but DH is now not sure Hmm

Oliver - not sure how this sounds with Alexander as the middle name? Also not keen on Ollie.

Henry/Harry - DH wants Harry but I feel it’s too nicknamy and would want Henry on the bc and Harry doesn’t seem like a natural nickname of Harry to me....

So out of this list which do you like best? What do the names make you think of? Or any other suggestions along these lines because if I have another conversation about names I may well explode Grin

Matthew Alexander sounds really lovely.

James Alexander sounds fantastic. I like that better than the other names and it's not similar to George at all.

My brother's name is James Alexander 😊 I think it's a great choice, OP!
