Wanted, a great name for a boy

[lozengeoflove]

This is driving me to distraction.
Induction booked for Monday, and we can’t agree on a name for our boy. We already have Ivy and Fred who are very excited about meeting their baby brother and want to call him George Leopard Leo

DP wants Jack, children love George and I like Maxim or Albert. Any suggestions?

Middle names likely to be Joseph Graham.

Leonard. Could have Leon/Lenny/Len/Leo as a shortened version.

Vincent/Vinny (top of my list at the moment, Albert is second)

Jake instead of Jack?

Francis/Frannie/Frankie

Henry/Harry

Archer/Archie

Love, love, love Leonard (Len, Lennie etc) but DP won’t have it as one of his friends has Freddie and Lennie

He is veering towards George, and while George is lots better than Jack, IMHO, I’m still not really excited about it.

It’s my youngests name so I’m totally biased when I say how amazing it is. (I also have a Stan!)

Fwiw George does sound lovely with your older dc but I know what you mean about not being excited by it.

Isaac Joseph Graham

Magnus Joseph Graham

Love Magnus. Can’t use it.

What about Soren Joseph Graham?

Abram
Linus
Silas

Call him Leopard nn Leo.

Your children have pretty solid, respectable names. I’m a fan. What about William?
George and Jack are, imho, pretty dull. The popularity has really killed them for me. I know William is still pretty high, but it’s just...I don’t know, it’s just better!! 😂😂

Albert - dislike, plus I think it's one of those annoyingly fashionable names atm
George - don't like association with prince, plus you can't have Fred and George
Jack - too popular and boring
Maxim - love, would be Max for short which is a classic

Some other suggestions, similar to Jack:
Jake
James
Zach/Zack

Love George Joseph - Ivy, Fred and George go great together

Induction is tomorrow. DP is happy to go with George.
I really don’t know anymore .

You really don't have to decide today. Wait and see what he looks like!

Just call him James it's the best name.

Ivy, Fred and James

James Joseph Graham Scott

See?!

(Shame about Graham!)

Don’t get me started, name. Sadly it’s DP’s dad’s name, who passed away couple of years ago . He was a good egg.

I don’t like J J initials next to each other, but yes, James is a great name.
Another option for middle names is Robert Graham...

Oh no, I'm sorry for your loss

DS has 4 names and his initials include JJ. I never thought of it tbh.

I think these combos are good
George Joseph Graham
James Robert Graham

(Out of nosiness interest, does Fred have your dad's first name as a middle name?)

Thanks you, name. DP was very close to his lovely dad and misses him terribly. At least he’s not insisting we use Graham as a first name.

And no, Fred is Frederick William Ernest - DP’s grandads’ names, and DP’s own middle names.

Eli / Elijah
Tom / Thomas
Matt / Matthew
Ben / Benjamin
Henry
Mark
Jon / Jonathan (to avoid the 'old man'!)
Nathan

In that case you should use your dad's first or middle name - or is that already covered with Joseph or Robert?

How about John? Your DH could call him Jack then if he wanted.
I also like Robin, Leon and Lawrence.

Or Victor?

I love the name Cnut, but DH wouldn't let me use if, for obvious reasons

Sorry to keep posting, but my neighbours have two boys, Magnus and Wilf. Thought if you liked Magnus you might like Wilf also.

I'm due on Tuesday and if it's a boy he'll be called Buddy. Other names I love are Sonny, Seb, Ace, Dexter, Maxwell. Can't think of any more off the top of my head!
