Brother for James suggestions please

[riverbat]

14 weeks pregnant with DC2 and Harmony test result says another boy!

I like:

Henry
Leo
Rowan
Edward (or Edgar/Edwin)
William
Fergus

But not completely sold on any of them. Suggestions please for boys names that have a similar feel and will go with James?

I have a James. If DC2 had been a boy she'd have been Frederick. I also love Richard but couldn't use it.

Thomas. William. Alexander. Michael. Louis. Daniel.

Matthew
David
Theodore
Anthony
Alistair

John?!

Guy, Hugh, Alexander

All your suggestions are nice.

Andrew?

I love Leo and William from your list! I think they both go really well with James.

John. Obviously.

I like most of your suggestions OP.
Theo / Theodore
George
Matthew
Louis
Christian
Christopher
Remy
Alexander
Vincent
Peter
Joseph

I have a little William! Love the name with James, very classic and handsome.

Thomas
Matthew
Luke

John
Robert
Peter
William
Alistair
Dominic
Guy
Richard
Hugh

Love the name Rowan. Like Henry and Leo. The others are ok. How about -

Fraser
Reuben
Angus
Harry
Theo / Theodore
Oscar
Sebastian
Arthur
Rupert
Robin

Fergus is a lovely name! (shame DH didn't agree), also Edward from your list

Others: Marcus, Alexander, Christopher, Aidan, Peter, David, Michael, Robert

Peter
David
Andrew
Philip
Richard

Frederick
Thomas
Lewis
Nicholas
Daniel
Theodore
Arthur
Henry
Elliot
Oscar
Alexander
Felix
Miles
Hugo
Simon
Samuel
Calvin
Nathan
Nathaniel
Sebastian
Beckett
Callum
Hudson
Sawyer
Everett
Emmett
Owen

A lovely list and I adore the name James- the most classic name there is!

Henry - great name, would sound lovely with James
Leo - nice, don't love but like it. Quite trendy, not as timeless as James
Rowan - far too trendy and will date in a way James won't. Prefer for a girl but even then just find it too similar to equally trendy and fastest rising boy name RoMan with m. Don't like nickname Row.
Edward (or Edgar/Edwin) - love all three
William - love
Fergus - love

Suggestions:

Peter
Christopher
Wilfred
Nathan or Nathaniel
Matthew
Tristan
Eric
Miles

Thanks everyone. I like most of these suggestions and will seriously think about:
Alexander
Hugh/Huw
Sebastian
Christopher
Louis
Alistair

I do like John too but probably don't want matching initials

Others: Marcus, Alexander, Christopher, Aidan, Peter, David, Michael, Robert

Not actually discussed with DH yet! Baby will get DH's surname so most of the choice of first name will be mine - what we did last time - but I guess he'll get a veto if he really hates something

Thomas William Frederick

I really like your updated list with these names on:

Alexander, Hugh/Huw, Sebastian, Christopher, Louis and Alistair

ALL SO lovely and timeless. From your main list for boys I like William and Edward best because of them being such timeless names.
My baby daughter is called Rowan and it does get mixed with Roman and I get asked if the name is "Ro...an as in Roman, Rowan or Rohan?" sometimes. It's a lovely name which I already anticipate will date given big recent burst in popularity. It gets shortened to Row already.

James, Alexander and George were my boy names. Love them all.
Had girls though so didn’t use them.

Daniel
Christopher
Andrew
Patrick

V popular but I think Oliver goes beautifully with James

I meant my DH !!

He vetoed it

(Even if you (plural) have agreed that you (singular) get the major say, you just can't use a name your DH really doesn't like).

Ah gotcha sorry didn't read properly. I love it but not sure it's too much if not Scottish/Irish (although we do have links...)

Got quite a while to decide (June) just a bit excited
