A brother for Holly

[Littlemissdaredevil]

I’m currently pregnant with dc 2 who is a boy. I prefer more traditional/old fashioned/biblical names. DH has pooh poohed everything I have suggested as old fashioned.

Instead he suggested Thor or Einer and won’t suggest anything else. I dislike these names. We are not Scandinavian and have never been there.

We already have a DD called Holly.

Any suggestions welcome!

It's v old fashioned - but definitely not in the top 50!

Peter.

Holly and Peter has a nice ring!

Frederick is currently 65 in the latest ONS baby names publications.

I think I will try to have a chat with DH at the weekend about some of the suggestions. We don’t need to decide now but I would like us come up with some possibles. Last time we couldn’t agree any possibles and then DD came early and didn’t have a name for ages!

Dont like fred, sorry but as long as you and your dh like it that's is the main thing

Frederick might be but Fred Freddie are really popular.

@Littlemissdaredevil Frederick might be number 65 but the name Freddie is higher (it’s number 18)
Benjamin is also top 50. If you don’t want a top 50 name then avoid Frederick/Freddie/Benjamin obviously but also make sure to avoid 2018 fastest rising names: Hunter, Roman/Rowan & Grayson. By the time 2020 data come out those fastest rising names will be top 20.

There’s are loads of lovely names outside the top 100 though.
