To feel that you used up your favourite baby name with your first child

[Chefwifelife]

Hi all. I’m due with boy #2 at the end of August. Our nearly 3YO is called Arthur. I’ve had so many suggestions on names but I can’t shake the fact that I feel like I’ve already used up my favourite boys name. I know this is completely first world problems but I just knew what our son would be called from very early on. Approaching the final trimester and still clueless. Anyone in the same boat?

Ooooh glad you like Wilbur- I would use it but husband says no 🙄 also have a soft spot for Willoughby but might not flow with Buddy for you.

I have an Arthur and an Albert. The others on my list to go with Arthur were:
Edward
Charles
Percy
James
Michael
Harold

@Wowcherisstalkingme my husbands favourite is Albert. Do you call him alby or Bert for short? Seems like we’re on similar themes with name ideas.

Most of my family call him Bertie which we thought we would too but now I’m not so sure. My friends call him Albie which I don’t mind. We still call him Albert, maybe a nickname will show itself when we see a bit more of his personality (he’s still very small )

What about Hugo?

Love Lawrence or Laurence especially with the nickname laurrie or lorri but forms I don’t think it flows as well with buddy. I like Chester and Edmund/Edward but as a PP said - eddie buddy doesn’t flow but it really depends if you would say his nickname and middle name together because I wouldn’t but Edmund/Edward Buddy works well, as does a Chester Buddy.

Frederick! Fred or Freddie for short.

Theodore, Hugo, Benedict, Gabriel, Ernest, Archibald, Alfred?
