Little brother for Mabel and Stanley

[Foxglovesandlilacs]

Due in 9 weeks, we have a few names we like but none that we love!

I actually have 7 children but putting all their names would be outing and the youngest two are Mabel and Stanley (called Stan day to day).

I like old fashioned names, we like Sidney, DH loves Buster but it’s too doggy for my liking. I also like Bruno! But I imagine a Bruno to be dark haired and my babies are all blonde and blue eyed.

With all the others I was set in a name right from the beginning so this is a strange feeling! Please give me some ideas and help me find the one!

Lenny

Raymond

Artie

Justin

I'm another one who also thought of Arthur straight away!

Seth
Wilfred
Edgar

I thought Ernest.

Victor is another option.

Edmund
Theodore
Ferdinand
Tristan

I do like Sidney but not Bruno; Bruno isa dogs name to me

Arthur was my first thought too

Mabel, Stanley and Arthur

Or Mabel, Stanley and Albert

Not keen on Buster or Bruno. Maybe Ivo, Magnus or Rufus? - similar quirky vibes to me, but a nicer sound imo. Or since Stanley and Mabel are quite retro/vintage, perhaps Eric, Hugh, Arthur, Bertram, Alfred, Richard, Wilfred, Albert, Raymond, Leonard, Edmund?

Arthur (if you haven't already got one).

Or:
Walter
Barnaby
Milo
Cyril
Cecil
Gilbert

I think Sidney is a bit too close to Stanley. Bruno is gorgeous and a blond boy could probably pull it off.but it does sound more like a brown eyed boy's name.

I love, love, love Mabel btw!

Sidney

I like Sidney, but not with Stanley. I like Art ( Arthur full name).
Love Octavius. I know a Tavius. He isn't Octavius but still nice.
I love Alfred, Alf, but not Alfie which he would probably get.
Leonard ? Lennie seems quite popular.

I like Peter and John. They're dated, but classic, and I think they're lovely without trying too hard.

Austin
Charles
Vincent
Timothy

Nicholas
Oscar
Henry
Lawrence
Oswald

Arthur

Wow thankyou. Some lovely names!

I like Arthur but know a lot that have been born the last couple of years. I agree it’s the first thing that comes to mind though.

We have Alfie’s, Archie’s and George’s in the family already. Also know an Albert quite well. It’s hard isn’t it?!

I like Otto and I’m sure I read somewhere it means eighth child or something. DH isn’t keen but said I could use it if I want. I’m tempted but I want him to like the name too, and I’ve seen it floating around on Instagram recently which makes me think it might be a bit trendy (like Arlo?)

Love monty. And hector. DH likes these too but are they just too doggy?

What about Wilfred?

What about Rollo?

What great names!
Mabel, Stanley & Wilfred
Mabel, Stanley & Hector
Mabel, Stanley & Sid
Mabel, Stanley & Felix
Mabel, Stanley & Leo
Mabel, Stanley & Oscar
Mabel, Stanley & Otto
Mabel, Stanley & Leonard
Mabel, Stanley & Eric
Mabel, Stanley & Ernest

Laurence
Wilfred
Caleb
Ellis
Eric
Austin

Sidney is a brilliant name and goes well with the other two names. I’d go for it OP!

Mabel, Stanley and...

Billy
Albert (Albie/Bertie)
Gideon
Wilfred (Wilf)
Edwin (Ted)
Clarence
Clement
Gerry
Henry
Lionel
Linus
Hector
Ernest
Algie

Ooooh I love Mabel and Stanley OP! DH vetoed both :(

So on the basis that you are of my mind, some other names I like:
George
Frederick
Wilfred
Albert
Arthur
Edwin
Fergus
Henry
Alfred

Some of those are a bit ordinary now (or even in the top 10) tho when my DC were small they were a bit more unusual.

Reads thread: ahhhh both my DS's names are on this thread multiple times :)
