Still on the hunt...

I'm now nearly 32 weeks due a little boy who will be boy number 3! We are really struggling with names.

Some names we like are

Artie
Max
Gus (hubby hates this 😩)
Archie
Teddy

We are particularly drawn to names ending in the 'ie' sound. We don't want a long name as middle name and surname are quite long.

Thoughts on above names and can you suggest anymore?

We're calling our little boy Lenny. We aren't putting Leonard on the birth certificate either, he's just Lenny.
People dont like it, but we do and it's our baby 🙂 go with your heart.

Teddy would be on the birth certificate, I'm not a fan of giving a baby name if that's not what they are to be called. I get lots of people do it but it's just not for us.

Hubby is plumping for Rufus but I love Teddy, I also like Rufus too just not as much so I'd be happy either way.

It's taken us so long to come up with these 2 names, we already have 2 boys so have found this one really tricky!

I love Lenny, it was on our list for a little while but it doesn't really go with our other 2 boys names.

I'd rather not say as will be outing Burt they both end in "ay" sounds.

Rex was the front runner until I spoke to SIL on the phone last week and she happened to talk to the cat while on the phone who is called Rex 😂 we completely forgot about him, this is hubby's brother so we really can't use it!

Teddy over Rufus - such a nice name.

I had a great uncle Edward when I was young and called him Uncle Teddy Edward. He was lovely so I always have a soft spot for Teddy

pantherrose · 02/04/2021 22:16

Dexter/Dex/
Ivan
Miles
Theo

Not sure which I prefer, Rufus or Teddy, so offered some others!
