Totally stuck, trying to find a name for a third boy! Really wanted something one or two syllables, a bit more modern but not wild.
Considering:
Elliot - put off by it being 3 syllables
Noah - but we’re v atheist
Arthur - worried it’s all too old man/Tudor with Henry
Alexander - not super excited by Alex but feels safe.

Can’t use Finn, Leo or Oscar. Any ideas or thoughts welcome!

Alistair as an alternative to Alexander. Frank. It seems to be having a but of a moment. Or Vincent.

Alistair possible with nickname Ally? I feel like spelling could be an issue!

Will or George?

I do like George but husband isn’t keen! Will with Henry felt a bit too like the princes :)

Laurence is a great solid name ,Laurie is lovely for when he is younger.

I was going to suggest Alistair, I think it goes well, nn Al or Ally

Nicholas nn Nico

zachary nn Zach

Patrick

Miles

Jethro

Francis nn Frank

Maximilian nn Max

Owen

Otis

You could also make it Arthur nn Art, to get rid of Tudor associations

sunflowerdaisyrose · 15/02/2023 23:10

My first thoughts were Ben or William. I really like Alex too.

Crumpledstilstkin · 15/02/2023 23:13

I think you need to go for a solid sensible sort. James is a good shout but basically anything you could imagine someone being called 500 years ago. William maybe?

As the youngest he's going to be a real character. Cheeky chappy. I know a few 😂😂

Benjamin or Daniel were my first thoughts.

I have an Alex(ander) so I am biased there. Oliver and Francis were my second thoughts. All have great nicknames.

Joshua? Dont hear many Joshua's these day, or Oliver, William, Zachary, Jacob, all go nice.
