Boys names - help!

[zeromango]

Not due until late December / very early Jan but we simply can't agree on a name! His big sister is an Ivy.

Middle name will be Jon after DPs dad. We've narrowed the list to:

Arthur
Alfred
Sydney (spelt with a y to honour his great grandad)
Emery (I'm not keen)
Wilfred

We just can't agree at all. Im not bothered about popularity of names. I'm not keen on Alfred as DP likes Alfie for a nickname and I dont, and I like Freddie as a nickname and DP doesn't Help!!

Love Sydney and Wilfred x

I love Sydney and Wilfred too.
Ivy and Will. How cute is that.

I like them all except for Emery.

I only really like Wilfred-Wilf and Fred/Freddie are great.

Could you use Frederick, nickname Freddie then if you’re not keen on Alfred? Arthur is good too, as you say you don’t mind about popularity.

I only like Arthur.

Not Emery, God no. Awful.

How about Stanley.

Sydney is nice

Like Sydney and Wilfred

Would you like Stanley / Edwin (Ted) / Emerson

Arthur or Wilfred are both lovely!

Sydney is lovely

I love Arthur the most out of your list.

Not keen on Alfred/Wilfred and Sydney.

Emery is okay.

It looks like a lot of the names you like are trending now so maybe look in a top hundred listing ?

We have an Arthur so I’m biased as I obviously love the name.

Thank you everyone! Definitely leaning mostly towards Arthur at this point in time, and no nicknames to bicker about either with that name

I like Arthur the best too

Love Arthur Sydney and Wilfred - 3 of my favourite names
I think you have such a lovely list I really don't want to suggest any other names

Arthur works very well with Ivy imo - both trendy, vintage style names. I do have a soft spot for Alfred and Wilfred too but they are probably not worth the risk if your DP really dislikes Fred/Freddie. Not keen on Sydney or Emery, sorry.

Someone with a boy called Arthur that I know, shortens it to Arth which sound like the noise a seal makes.
