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

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.
