Boy name shortlist

We are finding out the gender in 3 weeks. Girl name is nailed down and has been for a while. Boy name is so much harder.

Due to a previous loss it is very important to me that this child has a name (that I can get used/attached to) at some point between now and the next scan. I know minds can change once you meet the baby, but it is important for me that this baby has an... identity if something were to happen again. I probably don’t make sense.

In any case, I am basically on bed rest right now and thinking about names is nicer than staring at the ceiling.

SO and I already agreed on middle name Orson. (The one boy name I really like but SO only likes as middle name)

Which do you prefer out of:

Bennett/Bennet (?) Orson

Edward Orson

Frederick Orson

I also think Samuel could work, but not sure?

Thank you :)

I like Edward and Frederick.

Bennett is not my cup of tea and Samuel will give you SOD as initials as pp said, so I’d avoid that.

I love Orson though!

Thank you all for your input!!

Had a scan today and it looks like a boy Shock

SO likes Frederick as there are quite a few Edwards around here... aaah, decisions!
