I'm due my 3rd baby in just over 2 weeks. We've kept the sex of this baby a surprise this time round. Girls name we've already decided on, but boys we're struggling with. We've narrowed it down to two but can't decide which one is a nicer name and goes better with our other two children's name (Noah George and Grace Olivia). The two names we've chosen are - Oliver Benjamin or Arthur William. Any thoughts on which you prefer or that you think go better with our children. TIA.

@IckleBear

I don't like either.

Luca Benjamin
Rufus William
Elijah Daniel

Well they're our chosen names WE like so it won't be any of the ones you've stated.

@Maybemay123

We must have similar taste as your current children's names were on my shortlist /used. I like both names I think Oliver goes slightly better with your dcs names. I'd be intrigued to know what your girls name is.
Our chosen girls name is Charlotte. It'll either be Charlotte Emilia or Charlotte Victoria (my middle is Victoria and Dad prefers this one) x

Both Oliver & Arthur are very overused . But I prefer Oliver to go with your other children’s names . Or why not have Benjamin as his first name , never hear of it nowadays & you can always call him by his full name . It goes beautifully with the other names .

Oliver Benjamin is lovely and was going to be my Dsis’s name if she was a boy. My little boys middle name is Benjamin and I love it

Well after a lot of umming and aaring over the last few days, me and my OH have had a slight change and decided on Benjamin Oliver (and Charlotte Alice) for our soon to be addition

Very nice! Lovely choices Smile

I like them both equally!! Sorry 😁

Benjamin Arthur

Definitely Oliver. Arthur's a bit too 'try hard' for me.
