Hello i am due DC3 who will be my first boy!

Names we like but aren't 100%:

George (worried its too popular)
Thomas (also our dogs name!)
James
Harry (our surname begins with H)

Any ideas please?!

Looking at the list, it seems you like quite traditional names.

How many syllables does your surname have?

Chanhedforthis · 16/10/2023 15:06

Thanks for your reply!

Surname is 2 syllables.

2 girls have one syllable names if that helps.

All nice names. George and Harry are very popular at the moment. So it depends if you want to avoid him being one of many with the same name in a class. Also loving Thomas for the 🐶 btw that's brilliant.

Not seeing a lot of young James around, which is weird as its a strong name.

William?
Joseph?
Alexander?
Daniel?

Thomas is gorgeous. And I’ve never met a Thomas I didn’t like. I have a lot of really positive associations with that one. but if it’s already “taken” by your dog…😅
