Boy name to go with Henry & Arthur

We just found out we are having a THIRD boy!! It took us almost 4 weeks to name our second. Our eldest is Henry Thomas and our Second is Arthur Kenneth (nn Archie).

Seeing as it took so long to pick a boy name last time, I thought I'd get a head start on this one 😂 Hopefully 4 months is enough!!

I'd love to hear your traditional name suggestions. Our surname is Brown so we defo can't do James and I can't bring myself to do Charlie Brown (even though hubby says it's fine)! What do you think?

Well if you're going with the Royal theme, Edward or William.

@clary Thank you!

We actually almost named both boys Angus, so might be onto something there! x

I dont you need a theme. Just pick one you like. :)

Edward or Teddy is good though.

I love Angus.

But also love William if you want a King of England theme. Edward is nice too and George.

millymae · 24/02/2021 18:37

Stanley, Wilf, Edwin, Thomas or Joseph

Spidey66 · 24/02/2021 18:40

Edward or George

My favourite traditional boys names are Edward, Thomas and James (I understand James doesn't work for you though).

My friend named her son Albert and he is known as Bertie which works very well, traditional and contemporary at the same time.

I wouldn't do William Brown, even if I loved the Just William books!

Edwin
Oliver
Frederick
Hugo

William

@Squeakerfoot No, I love William, but William Brown sounds quite plain. That's the problem with Brown, it's not the most exciting last name 😂

@DuchenneParent I love Edward, I'm going to try and work on hubby with it. The issue is the nickname he would want to use is Ted/Teddy and my SIL named her little boy Ted last year. But I'm going to see if I can get him into Ed/Eddy instead.

I think Albert is adorable, but I kind of get hung up on Bertie Brown. Hmm

@Dinosaursdontgrowontrees These are the two I keep coming back to. I prefer Edward but hubby...not so much.

I think George is becoming the neutral ground, but it's such a popular name! I kind of prefer traditional, less common names.

George Edward
Edward George - nn Ted?

Beautiful names OP, congratulations!

Marmite27 · 25/02/2021 07:04

James

FuckyouBrennan · 25/02/2021 07:04

Sorry- just saw your update.

Could you go for William and him be a Billy Brown? Or is Billy Brown too much?

Alexander? Alex?

Biscuitsneeded · 26/02/2021 18:49

Edward Angus Brown - lovely name.
