Baby no 3 is due August and we are struggling with boys names!! (Think we have decided on our girls names) We like short names and so far are thinking

Rory Alexander
Rudy Alexander

Our other two DS are

Seth William
Elias James

Just wondering what peeps thoughts are and if there are any other ideas

Out of those two, Rory. Rudy isn’t a full name, so it’s odd next to your other DC. Not sure it goes very well, though, if that matters. Jude?

Whatsyourflava · 25/06/2020 19:33

Rudy is much nicer- a great choice
Rory's are everywhere (R names are so popular at the moment but Rudy is so lovely I'd still use)

If you like short names how about "Sid", Tristan, Cole , Jo, Nate

I am not a fan of Rudy at all.

Seth, Elias and Rory is okay.

What about Fergus?

userabcname · 25/06/2020 20:00

Seth and Elias are lovely! I like Rory best from your two options.

Blursula · 25/06/2020 20:01

Love your names. Rudy gets my vote. Remy?

Edenember · 25/06/2020 20:06

@Rowley829 I prefer Rory from the two options, however I’d be inclined to go biblical again like your other 2 boys names, which are lovely btw. Some suggestions -
Zachary, Caleb, Gabriel, Reuben, Eben, Abel, Joel, Jonas, Jonah, Silas, Jethro. I also think Jory, Jago (both Cornish) and Xander would sit Nicely alongside your other boys names.

GracieLane · 25/06/2020 20:08

Reuben was my first thought. I do like both Rory & Rudy too though

helpasisout · 26/06/2020 00:09

love Rudy it was on our list too.

AdaColeman · 26/06/2020 00:56

Rory is fab!
Not keen on Rudy.

Rafe, Roman, Robert?

Cbeebiesrehab · 26/06/2020 10:59

Both go lovely with your boys names. I would probably go with Rudy out of those two as I think it’s a bit more unusual. Great taste OP.

BabyLlamaZen · 26/06/2020 11:12

I love your names and I also love Rudy. I think it's similar.

Not a big fan of Rory. To me it screams post (but not in a good way!) and a bit entitled. The others are more interesting.

BabyLlamaZen · 26/06/2020 11:13

What girls names do you have, out of curiosity?

pilates · 26/06/2020 11:21

Love Rory

passthemustard · 26/06/2020 11:29

Another vote for Rory here 😁

yourestandingonmyneck · 26/06/2020 11:55

B@what @BabyLlamaZen
Wat does "to me it screams post" mean?

yourestandingonmyneck · 26/06/2020 11:57

Sorry for typos, phone was acting strange.

What does post mean? As in "to me it screams post"?

yourestandingonmyneck · 26/06/2020 12:05

Never mind. I've realised I think that was a typo for posh.

SallyWD · 26/06/2020 12:05

I love Rory! Not so keen on Rudy.

BabyLlamaZen · 26/06/2020 13:30

Should've said posh, not post!

As in the name rory makes me think of posh, private school older man (I have known a few 🤣) doesn't mean I'm right! It's hard to shake off a name and association sometimes.

BabyLlamaZen · 26/06/2020 13:30

Post was meant to say posh

emmathedilemma · 26/06/2020 14:55

I don't think Rory is at all posh!
I prefer Rory to Rudy.
Seth and Elias seem quite religious names to me but Rory doesn't, i'm not sure it fits with them.

Whatsyourflava · 26/06/2020 15:05

Have we helped at all @Rowley829
I prefer Rudy - great name
