Hi, we are expecting a third boy and are really struggling to choose a name! We already have Bobby and Billy. I quite like Ralph/Ralphie and dad likes Bertie but we're not convinced on either. I don't mind whether it begins with 'b' or ends in an 'eee'. I like cute names!

Assuming Bobby is a Robert then not Albert/Bertie as it's too similar. Bertie always seems a bit wet to me, and Ralphie is surely only OK for a very small child. I can't imagine a teenage Ralphie! I get that you like cute OP but your children may want options when they get older. For example I know lots of adult Bob/Rob/Roberts but no adult Bobbies. One Bert which I guess you could have from Bertie too (like your Bobby/Billy could opt for Bob/Bill if they aren't Robert and William).

What about something like Jonny /Jonathan or John?

Bobby is his christened name but it is a nod towards Robert after his uncle rob. Bobby charlton and Moore are/were both adults lol!! But I do get what you're saying about being able to have options to make it less cute for when they're older. my late dad was John so we are hoping to use John for the middle name. I quite like a name that's a bit less well-used.

Barry 😂

I'd love to hear the reactions to baby Barry.

I knew someone who called her baby Colin, but Barry is even better.

I always remember this song for some reason.. ‘Who would call a kid Bruce anyway’ Grin
