Final cut - but i have lost the power of decision

[welliwasntexpectingthat]

Third boy due any day and for my own sanity we need to decide on a name or two (i don't want to wait and see what he looks like). Here is our short list. We already have a William & Joseph.

In abc order rather than preference:

Albert (Albie/Bertie) - will i get looks? Bit "out there"?
Daniel (Dan/Danny)
Douglas (Dougie) - not same style/not sure goes with first 2
Edward (Ed/Eddie)
George (dunno)
Lucas (Luke?) - not same style/not sure it goes with first 2
Stanley (Stan) - bit harsh?
Timothy (Tim) DH not too keen.

It's so difficult! I just don't love any!

George or Edward.

If you think Albert is 'out there' you'd hate my kids names

IMO Daniel is one of the dullest names going. As if there aren't enough Daniels' around. And I say that married to one.

Daniel and Lucas go best with your other boy's names.

Albert (Albie/Bertie) - lovely but definitely not out there, I know loads
Daniel (Dan/Danny) - classic and rarely heard these days, really like it
Douglas (Dougie) - don’t like it
Edward (Ed/Eddie) - lovely, loads of nickname options, would be my top choice
George - it’s fine but I’m not wild about it
Lucas (Luke?) - ok, I’m not keen
Stanley (Stan) - hate it
Timothy (Tim) - don’t like it, sounds wet

Daniel, Douglas or Edward

I like Andrew/Andy.

Albert - ugly name, and the nns aren't any better
Daniel - this is lovely
Douglas - ok
Edward - lovely
George - meh
Lucas - gorgeous
Stanley - horrible
Timothy - wet and meek

I'd go for Lucas, Daniel or Edward.

I love Douglas. really nice name and not much used.

Bit bored by Daniel to be honest. there's loads of them around.

I think William, Joseph and Douglas sounds better than Daniel.

I think George and Edward are a bit bland

Edward goes perfectly with your other names.
Not keen on Daniel at all, I find it really out dated like Kelly or Samantha ect.
Lucas is nice as is George.
I don't like Stanley or Douglas as the nn are awful and I think it's taking the old man names too far.
Albert is nice but doesn't go with what you already have.

Albert’s good!

I think Edward or George goes better with your other boys names.

Daniel :)

Edward goes well with your older boys' names but I like Lucas (unhelpful).
Albert is far from rare these days.

I love Douglas. Daniel and Edward are also great.

I have a Stanley, love his name and no regrets. We won't be calling him Stan though. Best of luck :)

Agree that George or Edward goes better with your older boys names. What about James, Henry or Alexander?

Reuben
Kit/Christopher

Daniel or Albert. Luke would fit better than Lucas with the other two names.

Dougie or Stanley are both on my long list too! Unfortunately our surname makes the latter sound Dickensian but I just love them

George and Edward

Edward and Daniel go well with your other names - also Thomas and Alexander as previous posters have suggested

Douglas!! I love that name. It does go with the others fine I think. William, Joseph and Douglas. Bill, Joey and Doug. Will, Joe and Dougie. Billy Joey Dougie. Bill Joe Doug.

Edward or Albert.

Timothy is such a wet fish of a name

I think Daniel and Edward are the nicest.

I know 2 baby Alberts, 3 baby Berties and 2 baby Albies so I’d say it’s the opposite of ‘out there’!
