Hello!
We're going round in circles trying to come up with a name.
We have a Henry and a Matilda so want something that "goes" but isn't too samey if that makes sense.
I love Bertie, Dougie and Laurie, but husband doesn't. We all like Charlie, but I dont love it. Also on our list is Ted, Arthur, Rupert, Freddie and Dexter, although again I'm not in love with any of them.
Our surname begins with an A so names ending in -er don't quite work, and the middle name is likely to be Drew as it's a family name.
Thank you 😊

I do really like Charlie

Freddie was in my top 3 as well but the same as you I just didnt feel like I was in love with it!

Jasper is lovely and a bit unusual
We also really like Kit
Finn/Finley is nice too

We have Matilda and we are going to call our boy. Barnaby/Barney. We had Dexter on our list but I fell out of love with it.

PurpleFlower1983 · 16/04/2021 20:03

I also liked Gabriel.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 16/04/2021 20:48

Henry and Matilda have a royal, strong sound to me so I'd guess a brother to be called something like Arthur, Alfred, Robert, Frederick, John, James, Edward, William, Owen, Alexander or Edmund.

MrsBertBibby · 17/04/2021 08:02

Stephen. Their collective name: the Anarchy.

emmathedilemma · 17/04/2021 09:59

Henry, Matilda and William
Henry, Matilda and Wilfred
Henry, Matilda and Benjamin
Henry, Matilda and Oscar
Henry, Matilda and Samuel
Henry, Matilda and Alistair
Henry, Matilda and Oliver

Laurie is so cute! Same with Freddie.

Here are some similar suggestions:
Frankie
Leonard (possible nn Lenny)
Oscar (possible nn Ozzy)
Theodore (possible nn Theo/Teddy)
Edwin (possible nn Eddie)
Vincent (possible nn Vinnie)
Leopold (possible nn Leo)

I'm a massive fan of the name Dexter but I could be bias it's our number 1 choice currently

Stevearnottsbeard · 17/04/2021 18:49

Samuel-it's goes with everything, it's a great name!!! 😂 😂 😂

Lotsachocolateplease · 17/04/2021 20:42

Love Henry and Matilda, your other choices seem to be of a different vibe - dexter for example is just not as classic.
I like Edward with the nn Ted.
