Hello,

We’ve found out dc3 is going to be a boy 😊 we already have a girl and a boy; Matilda and Sebastian (Tilly and Seb), so looking for a boys name with a similar feel.

Surname begins with O, so rules out names beginning with B or F to avoid the initials B.O and F.O.. hadn’t thought anything of F.O until a friend pointed out its an acronym for ‘F* off‘ - is that a thing?!

Top contenders so far are:

Charlie
Zachary

Love Theodore but doesn’t work for nn Theo with the O surname annoyingly!

Thoughts on the above or any other suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you!

Oh sorry just realised you don't want an F name!

Love Zachary - it was in our top two for 2nd boy, but we went with Orson (“Sonny”) which really suits him. We also have a Gabriel (he gets lots of nice comments about his beautiful and surprisingly unusual name)

I like Zachary

I love Theodore and think Ted works well as a nn.

daisypond · 04/07/2020 22:02

I don’t think Charlie fits at all. It’s very childish/nicknamey/cute compared to both Matilda and Sebastian. Zachary is better, but I don’t think it fits very well either

Love Theodore nn Theo! If you have Theodore as bc name, it should work with your surname? And you would have a middle name to ‘break it up’?

I like Charlie and Zachary. I also like Sebastian but you've done that already Smile

Zachary is perfect. Look no further.

honeybee1986 · 05/07/2020 15:09

Really love Zachary! 😊

Isntshelovelyisntshewonderful · 05/07/2020 19:23

Thank you all so much for your messages 😊 it seems Zachary is getting a lot of love, which I’m delighted about... sadly DH isn’t so keen, but I’ve got a bit of time to try and persuade him!

Also loving Max and Arthur from the suggestions above so they are going on the list, thank you! X

Our dc3 due next month is Zachary middle name William
...gorgeous name . His older brother is called James, and his sister has an unusual Irish name but it just works!
What's not to love?

Nicholas, Nikki is lovely.
So many Zacharys around atm. I wonder whats spiked its popularity

TheVanguardSix · 24/07/2020 19:22

Nicholas, Nikki is lovely.

It is a good name. I know two who both go by Nico, which sounds nice with Tilly and Seb.
