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.

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

Howard and Gerald... Much prefer your choice!
