He is indeed here!

Joseph James - OH's maternal grandfather was called Joseph and James is my brothers name as well as my grandads middle name.

I definitely went with the grandad theme 😊

Oh Joseph!!! He’s absolutely beautiful ❤️

Cute! Congratulations.
I was going to offer Hector, but Joseph James is much nicer.

Gobletoffire · 20/01/2019 20:28

Both of them were William, nn Bill.
Wanted our little boy to be called William but the surname is Young so it’s a bit of a no go.

What a little smasher! Congratulations Flowers

One was Robert and the other Randolph, known as Randy. He was born in the 1880s and named after Winston Churchill's father. And his father was John Thomas, so a bit of a theme going on.

Iswallowtoothpaste · 11/02/2019 12:07

Hugh and Edwin (he was actually George but Edwin was his middle name and his preference)

ThriftyMcThrifty · 12/02/2019 03:24

Wilfred Charles and Leo Charles. We have a son called Leo, and I’m pregnant with my second son (third child). Wilfred was a lovely man, but. It sure I can use Wilf - just seems way too twee.

ThriftyMcThrifty · 12/02/2019 03:25

I’m not sure that should read. However I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and no name sorted yet, so I haven’t ruled it out.

TreesoftheField · 15/02/2019 16:47
