Brother for George

LyraLupin · 14/08/2019 21:04

Due imminently with baby 2, don’t know sex but we are sorted if a girl.

I’m pretty sure it’s a boy. We already have a George. I like quite boring traditional popular names but there are so many boys in the family there are a lot we like but can’t use.

Have a shortlist but don’t love any of them so hoping someone might have a suggestion we haven’t thought of!

Names I like but can’t use
Daniel
James
Oliver
Noah
Alex
Harry
Edward

Names on the shortlist
Charlie
William
Henry
Isaac
Rupert
Arthur

Also like Joseph and Jack but not sure of the similar sound to George.

Thanks!

Sorry - just seen you can't use some of my suggestions.

How about Christopher or Matthew?

SillyBillyBandy · 14/08/2019 21:32

I have a William George! Go lovely together.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/08/2019 21:35

George and William.
George and Leo
George and Thomas
George and Anthony

George and Richard
George and Andrew
George and Christopher
George and Vincent
George and Simon
George and Benjamin
George and Samuel

I also love Reuben but for some reason I’m not feeling it with George.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 14/08/2019 21:36

Also I can’t stand Arthur but it’s a great fit with George

Mimca · 14/08/2019 21:52

I like William and Charlie from your list. I know a few siblings with George and Jack/Joe/James so don't worry about sounding too similar. They are all good names.

Other suggestions, slightly less traditional...

George and

Sebastian
Patrick
Roman
Frederick (too Harry Potter-esque?)
Anthony
Albert (Bertie)
Samuel
Monty

Congratulations on your baby

Love Rupert!

doodlejump1980 · 14/08/2019 22:31

Another vote for Fred (but only if you’re a Harry Potter fan)

2gorgeousboys · 14/08/2019 22:37

William or Thomas

user1493494961 · 14/08/2019 22:38

Edmund, Nathaniel, Sebastian or Samuel.

MrsBertBibby · 14/08/2019 23:51

Robert. Very underused and a great name.

Cathyheathcliff · 14/08/2019 23:55

Love Henry and Arthur from your list. Other suggestions;
Adam

Peter
Christopher

Owen
Aiden
Lawrence
Hugo
Gabriel

The little George I know has brothers called Henry, William & Oliver.

I always thought Edward would have been the natural fit instead of Oliver though.

I like Isaac, Jack or Joseph of your shortlist.

Mummaofmytribe · 15/08/2019 02:37

My George's brothers are Jack and Ben. But they're all grown up, so maybe a bit out of date for you. But it seems to work really well.

LyraLupin · 15/08/2019 07:53

Thanks everyone, some great suggestions! Some I already liked but had been vetoed by DH and I do like Fred but have ruled out due to HP and also Elliott due to George Elliott!

Of your shortlist I like William best.

The Georges I know have brothers called Max and Ben.
