A brother for Ted.

[BeMorePacific]

We don’t know the sex of our baby, But we are so stuck for another boys name.
Ted is Edward.
I like traditional names, that can be shortened. I’m English my OH is Scottish and we live in Scotland, so we could use a Scottish name.

Options at the moment are:

Alfred (Alf/Freddie)
Ralph
William (my OH likes this name)

But we aren’t sure on any.

Anyone have any other suggestions? x

Alexander (nn Alex) or Nathaniel (nn Nattie or Nate)? I like Alfred from your list

Lochlan (Locky)

Laurence nn Laurie
Vincent nn Vinnie
Barnaby nn Barney or Barns
Christopher nn Kit
Wilfred nn Wilf
Nathan nn Nate
Angus nn Gus

Dougal or Jack

James

@ThunderR0ad78 funnily enough we were talking about James today. I love it... but worry it’s a bit boring.
@sweetnosugar I love Lockie, but it is the name of one of my sons friends, and we see them a lot.

Thanks for the replies. I like the suggestions, but still haven’t found the one. xx

If you like James, you could have Jameson for the longer name and then James as a nickname? Also, Jeremy (nn Jem) or Atticus (nn Atti)

Haha, my son is James and I love it but I do understand what you mean about boring :) I sometimes think the same but actually we have been lucky and don't know many others his age (in his class or clubs etc) so it's felt a little less standard ifswim. I think it's classy!

My other names for him were:
Joseph
Matthew
Edward - his middle name (you can't use that obviously)

Sam/uel

Albert (Albie or Bertie)
Addison (Ade)
Arthur (Artie)
Jasper
Alistair
Rupert/Rufus/Ruaraidh (Roo)

@ThunderR0ad78 sorry! My review of James sounds so rude.
It’s just a bit of a family name, I have 2 cousins called James and my 2 nephews have it as a middle name. It is really lovely, and definitely less common as a 1st name. I just hear it a lot. x

Douglas (Dougie)

I also like Joseph/Joe, Cameron, Douglas, Andrew, Michael, Raymond (Ray is a nice NN), Jethro, Blake, Bram (Abraham).

@zafferana haha that’s the name I really want!
@Sk1nnyB1tch how didn’t I think of that! My OH likes Barney for... “have you met Ted?” (how I met your mother reference)

Some great names, and new ones I haven’t considered yet. cx

On another thread I suggested Edward as a brother to Arthur. I think they are perfect together. Ted and Art.

I do really like Willoughby, that could be shortened to Will or Bill.
Joseph (Joe)
George
