Which name?

[MrsLCW]

We've come up with a bit of a short list of baby names for our boy who is due in around 3-4 weeks. Would love to know which are people's favourites?

Understand they may not be to everyone's taste, and that's absolutely fine, more interested in which people like?

Ernest (Ernie)
Douglas (Dougie)
Edward (Eddie/Ed/Ted/Teddy)
Freddie
Barney
George (very popular?)

Thanks everyone. Middle name is likely to be James (however I don't think this goes with George?)

George and Douglas.

Ernie would be my favourite.

George - second favourite
Edward ok, So many Teds/Teddies around (dont like Eddie)
Like Joseph, but not keen on Joe/Joey
Douggie is ok
Freddie (not to my taste)
Barney - meh

What about Joshua nn Josh?

I love Joseph and Douglas.

Douglas James sounds good together...

Dougie!

Edward James :)

Edward, George or Joseph.

Edward James

Ernest (Ernie) - dislike
Douglas (Dougie) - dislike
Edward (Eddie/Ed/Ted/Teddy) - like but popular
Freddie - like
Barney - dislike
George (very popular?) - dislike name itself plus association with royals

So Edward or Freddie!
Actually James is my favourite (as a first name)

Oh I missed Joseph! Like

There must be SO many boys/men already called Edward James. IHope your surname is more unusual!

Douglas is a great name. I like Gregory too

Joseph is the best of the bunch, but I don't like your list. Not my kind of names.

Ernest (Ernie)- love Ernest but fislike Ernie
Douglas (Dougie) - i know two Dougie's but not keen
Edward (Eddie/Ed/Ted/Teddy)- love Edward nn Ted. Really dislike Eddie and Teddy
Freddie - dislike
Barney - like as a shortening of Barnaby or Barnabas
George (very popular?)- ridiculously popular in our area. They are everywhere

Douglas or Ernest.

Joe

Gorgeous,

Thanks so much everyone, really interesting opinions!

@Shadow1234 I love Joshua/Josh but it's our nephews name! X

Jacob / Jake?

@NameChange30 again that's my other nephews name 😂

🤦🏻‍♀️😆

I love Dougie!! But being Scottish i would go for Dougal instead. I know of a Douglas James and he gets called DJay which I think it's awful

Joseph or George for me! Wish I'd have chosen Joseph for my DS.......

Douglas Joseph or Joseph Douglas! I love both.

What about John - John James sounds nice and all the cousins will have J names.

John, Jacob, and Joshua

Edward (I like Eddie for short) or George. I agree George James is a bit hard to say though - if you did use George, would you consider George Edward or George Douglas, which flow rather nicely?
