Hello,
My partner and I just can't decide on a name for our baby boy.
We already have a daughter called Amelia so we'd like something that flows nicely with that.
We have four names in the running and we'd like to know which you think is best.
The four names are:-

Arthur
Alfie (not sure with this whether to have Alfred or Alfie)
Stanley
Henry

Thank you in advance for any help.

Stuff that. Archie is what you are looking for!

Henry goes best. Other names that flow are:

  • Amelia and Jacob
  • Amelia and Rufus
  • Amelia and Thomas

Henry.
I also like Elliott, Noah and Sebastian. I know those weren't on your list but I wanted to throw them out there Grin

I'd say Henry.

Also like Alfie but it's extremely popular. I love the name Alvie 🩵

Alfie or Arthur for me

Henry

Henry def goes best. I have an Alfie but he's 10 and it's super common now. Loved Arthur but dh vetoed so named our Christmas elf Arthur instead 😂

I don’t think any of those names go with Amelia.
They are all very old man, of the moment names, whereas Amelia although not modern, has been popular for around 20 plus years. Those boys names have not.
I think something like Oscar or Isaac sounds better.

I wouldn't worry too much about whether the name goes with the sibling's, it's more about how it sounds with the surname. He'll be Arthur Surname far more than he'll be 'Amelia and Arthur'.

I think Henry goes best with Amelia. Congrats!

Henry goes really well. I like Arthur too but prefer Henry with Amelia as it gives them different initials.

Henry
Stanley
Alfie (as a nickname for Alfred)

Not so keen on Arthur
