Brother for Edward?

magd2901 · 18/09/2022 12:05

Hi,
I’d really appreciate any ideas for my little boy who should be born by c section tomorrow (early at 36 weeks).
His older brother is called Edward and doesn’t have a nickname (he doesn’t like any but we would be open for names with nicknames for baby!).
Our main problem is that my husband comes from a big family with lots of boys who we are close to and see regularly, so lots of our favourite names have already gone.
Our surname is a bog standard, one syllable English one.
Any ideas for Edward’s brother’s name please?
Thanks :)
