My OH and I are finding it hard to agree on names.

I like: Kit, Alfie, Ralph, and Ted
He likes William

Any suggestions? Baby was born this morning 😍

DH needs more names on his list. Just picking William leaves no room for negotiation. 💐 Congratulations.

Rufus, Frankie, Ronny,
Magnus, Luca, Silas.

Wilfred? Sort of a compromise between William and Alfred / Alfie??

Rufus, Edwin, Casper, Lucas, Elliott

And love Silas too. That was on our boys list but we have two daughters

Could he be Edward (NN Ted) then you both sort of get your way. He gets his more formal name and you get something you like too.

Or Christopher/Kristian/Cristian for DH and known as Kit

Alternatively call him William - would you be happy to shorten to Bill, Billy or Will?
Seems like, you want short and more relaxed, he wants more of a formal, grown up name.

Other names...
Edgar (Ted)
Sebastian (Seb)
Sidney (Sid)
Albert (Albie/Bertie)
Arthur (Arty/Art)

Please let us know and congratulations💙

Twinkie01 · 27/10/2020 17:11

Gabriel and Otto are my favourite names for boys or Elliot.

DodgyBathroomLight · 27/10/2020 17:37

Jasper, Elijah, Reuben, Tobias, Henry

HotDiggidy2017 · 27/10/2020 17:54

Kit: coolest name ever
Alfie: great name! But it’s so popular I’d be put off
Ralph: not too keen
Ted: so cute but maybe as a nickname like others suggested?

William: I’m biased it’s an ex-boyfriends same so would be a no but if it wasn’t for that it’s definitely a nice one.

Which one works best with you surname?

I don't like any of them, although William is Ok.

Firebird83 · 27/10/2020 19:55

William is the only one I like too

Whatsyourflava · 27/10/2020 20:25

William is really nice

It seems like you want a slightly less common name (though you'll probably be surprised at how popular names like Ted Ralph and Alfie are!) or maybe you're just wanting a more modern sounding name?

Laurence
Tristan
Barnaby
Sidney or Sid
Eli
Ellis
Vincent
Miles
Casper
Blake
Dominic
Austin
Oakley

Did you decide @BeMorePacific, love to know what your LO has been named. 💙

BeMorePacific · 28/10/2020 23:24

@ForthPlace We are going to go with Alfred / Alfie. He really suits it, and it goes nicely with his big bro’s name too (which incidentally is Edward/Ted!)

Great choice OP!
Welcome to a rather crazy world young man

@BunAndOven isn’t it just. Lockdown feels less intimidating with a newborn.
