Please come and tell me my perfect baby name

[Eminybob]

Here is a list of names I like, and have considered, but none of them are perfect. I’m hoping that I just haven’t come across the perfect one yet.
Please tell me, if I like the following names, what other names might I like. I already have a ds called William.

Thank you!

Zachary
Hamish
Jack
Alexander
Harry
Oliver
Harrison
Lewis
Benjamin
Edward
George
Nathanial
Dexter
Elliot
Fletcher
Jackson
Sebastian
Archie
Ted
Jonah
Elijah

I liked Theon for a boy but my hubs was having none of it!! Also love Ezra, Brody and Raffie

Jude
Edmund
Angus

Hamish is a diminutive of James btw

Zachary - love it
Hamish - great name
Jack - ok
Alexander - not if you and DH pronounce differently
Harry - no
Oliver - love it
Harrison - no
Lewis - no
Benjamin - ok
Edward - great
George - great
Nathanial - yes
Dexter - no
Elliot - ok
Fletcher - no
Jackson - no
Sebastian - yes
Archie - no
Ted - no
Jonah - no
Elijah - ok

Hamish is a diminutive of James btw

No it’s not. It’s the English version of the Gaelic Seamus which correlates with the English James.

Zachary, Hamish, Sebastian, Alexander and Edward - all very nice.

William & Alexander
William & George
William & John
William & James
William & Robert

Matthew
Robert
James
Joseph
Michael

On your list my favourites are Alexander, Edward, Benjamin and George.

No it’s not. It’s the English version of the Gaelic Seamus which correlates with the English James.

That's as may be. But I can assure you that Hamish is used as a diminutive of James. I'm the daughter of one.

Christopher!

I have a Harri (Harrison) so I’m obviously a bit biased (NB we spell it Harri not Harry because we’re in Wales and we like the Welsh spelling).

William and Benjamin (Will and Ben).

William and Harold?...

It may be a nick name within the family, but it doesn’t make Hamish a diminutive of James. That’s potentially offensive to Gaelic speakers. Dims of James are Jim/my and Jamie.

How about Jonas instead of Jonah?

William and Noah

How about -

William and Joseph?

DH is James which is one of the reasons we were considering Hamish, as it happens, as we know there is a connection. His dads side of the family are Scottish and we have a Mc surname.

Some lovely suggestions and thanks for the opinions on my list. I’m still no closer though!

Zachary - Very popular
Hamish - nice if you have scottish ancestry
Jack - Very popular
Alexander - Very popular
Harry - goes well with William
Oliver - very popular
Harrison - not keen. Prefer Harry
Lewis - ok
Benjamin - goes well with William
Edward - goes well with William
George - fine
Nathanial - misspelt and too long
Dexter - no
Elliot - sounds feeble
Fletcher - Norman Stanley. Fletch the lech
Jackson - Five
Sebastian - horrible.
Archie - ok for a labradoodle
Ted - goes well with William
Jonah - no
Elijah - too babyish

so it is between William and Harry, William and Edward and William and Benjamin.
Do you call William Bill?

Hamish is gorgeous OP - if you’ve got Scottish ancestry I’d go for that.

Another diminutive of James in Scotland is Jaz, much less common now than it used to be. I think it comes from olden times when shops and so on would be Jas. McSporran, General Stores etc. I'd go for James on the birth certificate and use Jaz as a nn.

Frazer

How about Maximilian or Maxwell?

Dominic. Definitely.

Will and Dom, it works!

You have similar taste to me, half your list is the same as mine!

I’ve also got:
Caleb
Cormac
Ronan
Joseph (nn Jos)
Jago (Cornish version of James)

What about Gabriel?

Ah just seen the Mc surname so wouldn’t sound right with Cormac!
