Really like your girls' names. My first thought was George, but see you've settled on Arthur, perhaps George would go as a middle name? Also, like Edmund as others suggested.

fishfingersand · 21/02/2022 22:09

Arthur is great - maybe Arthur Theodore?

Love Constance too :)

When I read those names I thought Cosmo.

And you all live in a stately home and call people things like hons and counter-hons.

i don’t know if that’s intended to be a dig at me and my name choices but i come from a working class background, just worked hard to get my degree and a good job. i also just like old fashioned names.

Hugo

CoffeeRunner · 21/02/2022 22:29

Humphrey is perfect with your girls' names.

Or maybe Hector or Rafe.

WeaverofWords · 21/02/2022 22:32

I thought Jasper or Stanley.

Savoretti · 21/02/2022 22:34

Jude sounds too modern to me with the girls’ names

CoffeeRunner · 21/02/2022 22:35

Ah sorry, late to the party. I see you picked Arthur.

Congratulations on your baby.

P.S. Cleaners on minimum wage also work incredibly hard so I'm not sure how you "working hard" explains your self perceived elevation to the middle class.
