We are due our 2nd DS in July and we are finding it so difficult to name him.

Our first is called Oliver Edward and we had his name before we even conceived him.

We like the name Thomas but unfortunately my DH’s close friends are having a boy any day now and are also thinking of Thomas 🙄 typical!!

We like the names-

Maxwell
Edison
William (not keen on it shortened tho)

Has anyone got any thoughts on these names or have any other ideas??

TIA x

I like Edison a lot. To me Thomas is a really wet name.

BendydickCuminsnatch · 16/04/2019 07:28

Really like Maxwell and William! Think Edison is a bit try hard personally. If you really like Thomas, it doesn’t sound like it’s much of a wait before you know if your friends have used it - hopefully they won’t!

I would choose Maxwell or Edison.

Not keen on the short forms for William either especially Will or Willy!

Robert. Rob, Robbie, Bob....

I like Maxwell and William
Edison is awful as is Thomas I like Tom though

Sophronia · 16/04/2019 08:36

I like Thomas and William

Redroses17 · 16/04/2019 08:50

Maxwell is nice

Other name ideas could be:
Jacob
Kaleb
Logan
Robert- Robbie for short
Alexander - Alex for short
George

I like Maxwell.
Edison is more middle name to me. Maxwell Edison is a really good name.
William is nice but meh.
I really like Thomas.
Other suggestions could be
Isaac Edison
Owen Edison
Adam Edison

Samuel
Joseph
George
Harry

I’m naming one of my twins Thomas! His brother will be Casper, if that helps.
I think William goes best with Oliver from your list, how about:
Harvey
Elliott
Jasper
Alfie
Archie
good luck! x

It would be a toss up between Maxwell and Edison for me but I like unusual names. I had my eldest down as either Linton, Linden or Byron and as soon as he was in my arms it was "yep, he looks like a Byron".

Maxwell Edison was the murderer in the Beatles song ‘maxwells silver hammer’
Both names are fine but I’d think twice about pairing them up 🤣

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 16/04/2019 17:28

I love Edison, different, but somehow still quite classic

sleepstealer · 16/04/2019 18:05

I like William. How about Maxim?
