Don't know what we are having yet but have settled on a girl's name..really happy with it
But no boys name is standing out to us.
I quite like Benjamin but my DH has lots of Ben friends so isn't as keen.

Last name only has 4 letters.

Similar style to Benjamin imo - Samuel, Joseph, Thomas, Jacob, Daniel, Isaac, Michael, Matthew, Zachary, Christopher.

Similar style to Arthur imo - Frederick, Edward, John, Robert, Henry, Wilfred, Peter, Phillip, William, George, Charles.

See those top makes just make me think of Joseph and his amazing technicolour dreamcoat!
Freddie might be cute. I love Freddie Mercury
Yes I do like Henry but our last name won't go :(

You definitely need something lovely like Arthur

Albert/Bertie is cute, I like that!

Ok that's good two for the list so far: Freddie and Albert :)

Not keen on Ted or Oscar. Used to like Oliver but gone off that too

I think I'm so happy with the girls name no boy name can live up to it lol

Maxwell

hello lovely! I'm expecting a little girl and me and my husband have decided to let our other little girl think of a name for her.
At first she did think it was a boy so she said Danny for a boy. And yes I know you can name a girl that but we said no.
So she is now choosing between Rosie and Amy. You can have one because I think she's settling for Rosie.

Hope this helped! xx

I know an Arthur who has brothers, Matthew, Nathan, Benjamin, Samuel and Elijah

Horehound · 02/06/2021 14:33

Matthew could be a good option too actually.

Maxwell would be shortened to max and it won't go well with the last name. Stupid last name

Horehound · 02/06/2021 14:40

Amber is lovely. Such an underaged girls name IMO.

For boys how about

George
Harrison/Harry
Alfie
Lucas
Sebastian/Seb
Caleb

itsgettingwierd · 02/06/2021 14:50

Under rated even.

BellaVida · 02/06/2021 14:52

Edmund
Sebastian
Frederick
Wilfred
Leopold

If you want a boy’s name similar to Amber, what about Ambrose or Aubrey?

zingally · 02/06/2021 17:09

A friend of mine had an Arthur, and followed up with a Fred. Not Frederick or Freddie. Fred.

My brain went with Thomas as a brother for Arthur.
