Final two boys names

[hughthehedgehog]

Had previous thread a while back but due date is getting nearer and me and OH are down to the last two but struggling to decide between them. Really just want to feel certain with one now so can give him/get used to a name. Just wondering which people prefer and why to help me see how I feel. Older sibling called Josie.

Harry
Jamie

Harry

I prefer Harry, it’s a lovely classic name. Jamie is not bad but Josie and Harry sound better than Josie and Jamie.

Harry!

James nn Jamie

Henry nn Harry

I prefer James.

Harry. By some way.

Jamie! You don’t hear it so much nowadays. Harry is a bit more generic to me, when you hear the name Jamie it has a bit more character to it. Love the name josie btw x

Jamie definitely...but I'd put James on the bc.

Jamie and Josie sounds cute

If it has to be those two, then Harry. Jamie is too similar to Josie.

There is a good chance of having another Harry in his class once he starts school - would that bother you? Both my DCs have 2 of a particular name in their classes. In DD2's class they are referred to by the name + surname initial eg Dave T and Dave K,which wouldn't bother me if I was their parent. However, in DD1's class they are known (by the kids and by extension the parents, not the teachers obviously who use the previous differentiation) as Naughty Keith and Good Keith... I definitely wouldn't be happy if I was Naughty Keith's parents!

Harry

Harry

Jamie

Like a pp, I only like Jamie as a nn for James and Harry as a nn for Henry. As given names, nicknames ending in an "ee" sound always sound a little childish to me for some reason. But if I had to pick, then Jamie (Harry just seems very popular now).

Harry. Jamie and Josie are too similar.

Jamie. I have a James nn Jamie, surprisingly don't hear it at nursery or the park.

Harry is a lovely name

I prefer Jamie

Jamie

I like Jamie but perhaps it is a bit similar to Josie. How about Harry James?

James, but he might choose a different nickname to Jamie, happened to my friend.

Josie and Jim!

They are too nicknamey for me, so neither. But Jamie and Josie are too similar, so go for Harry.

Just go with the two names, decide what fits him more once he's been born.

Keep both names and then see which one suits him when he is born. That's what we did.

Harry. Jamie is too similar to Josie.

With a Josie already I'd pick Harry.
