Distraction technique.

[Tillygetsit]

And before anyone says it, I'm not suggesting that as a name! Been feeling really off lately...3 dcs youngest just over 6 months so went to GP. You guessed it. I'm pregnant again. I'm blaming a bout of food poisoning! Very very early days but lying in bed worrying about all sorts of daft things including how to tell DH he's getting the snip! He's thrilled btw.
Girls name already chosen (one we discarded last time) so I'm distracting myself by thinking of boys names. WDYT of
Daniel
Edwin
Patrick
Bram
Peter
Jacob?

All nice, apart from Bram which just looks sort of incomplete somehow.

Daniel is my favourite, if I'd had a fourth DS he'd have been Daniel I think.

I LOVE the name Daniel.

All the others on your list pale into insignificance. Particularly, Peter and Edwin are just slightly wet sounding (I know men with these names and they’re wet kinda guys!)

Agree that Bram sounds a bit incomplete, maybe even a bit industrial.

Patrick is fine, but a bit insipid and Jacob, for me, has been done to death. I hear ‘Jake, Jakey...Jayyyyyy....’ everywhere I go these days!! 😂 Although it’s a perfectly good name.

Daniel and Bram, short for Abraham, are my faves.

They’re all nice. Possibly not Jacob, because Jake is popular, but I do like Jake. Bram always looks a bit odd to me, too. Peter or Daniel would be my choice.

Abraham nn Bram

Another one for Daniel.

I LOVE Edwin, Patrick and Bram - all we’re on my list for DC3.

I’d shorten Edwin to Ned as a nn and I’d probably use a longer form for Bram on the birth certificate - Abraham? Bramwell?

*were.

(Eagerly awaits the day Mumsnet HQ decides we’re worthy of an ‘edit post’ function)

Daniel is my favourite from your list, then Jacob

Love Daniel and Jacob and Patrick

I love Edwin. Also Edgar.

"DH, I've booked you a vasectomy. My body is going through its 2nd pregnancy in less than a year, you can handle a small routine op."

Sorted! Now, names. Daniel is lovely, not keen on Jake/Jacob and only like Patrick as a full name. Pat, Paddy and Rick are not pleasant to my ears. Edwin is fab and I really like Peter. Think it's going to end up the new MN favourite soon. Bram is uninteresting to me.

Daniel
Edwin - like it
Patrick - middle aged plumber
Bram - it’s short for Abraham. Just makes me think of Dracula.
Peter - surely the world’s most boring name.
Jacob? - ok

Edwin

not Bram.
Peter and then Edwin are my faves.

Oooh I really like Bram (short for Abraham which I also like).
Also like Edwin and Jacob.
Not keen on Patrick.
Peter is nice although I don't love it.
Not keen on Daniel either.
Congrats OP!

Thank you ladies. Mixed reviews! DH has vetoed Patrick Edwin Bram. Jacob was his choice but I wasnt keen as eldest is Joseph. Abraham is lovely but unwittingly all my dcs have biblical names and whilst I like more mainstream ones Abraham is a bit too far!
Any suggestions?

Patrick, Peter and Jacob all really nice, don't like Bram. Maybe Edward, Henry, Alexander, Matthew, Caleb, Gabriel, Samuel.

My nephew is Edmund - and always been known as Ned. May be another option if Edwin doesn't suit

I like Peter best.

Maybe Robert?

...or David?

Ha ha you've mentioned my brother 2 of dh uncles and 2 nephews! As I'm only just pregnant maybe I should mull it over for a few weeks. Joseph will not be happy if I produce another girl though!
