I am due soon with our first DS and we are having such a hard time choosing a name. He will have 2 sisters who have quite classic names, nothing too unusual.

Our shortlist (in no order)
Edward (nn Teddy/Ted/Eddie)
Casper

Hugo

What do you think of these names? Any other suggestions?

Thank you!

From your list, Edward. I'd use Eddie as the diminutive. I thoroughly dislike Teddy.

Like Edward and Hugo (like Hugh even better). Not so keen on Casper/Caspar. PPS have made some good suggestions - I also think Richard is a “Royal” classic due a comeback.

I do like Edward, but like Edmund even more (favourite character in The Chronicles of Narnia.)

Other suggestions:

Peter
Benjamin
Andrew/Andy
George
John
Robin
Gareth
Lucas
Francis

Edward or Hugo! Both classic lovely names.
Casper reminds me of the friendly ghost.

Edward/Hugo - both fine.

I can't imagine my 26 year old son wanting to introduce himself as Casper but I'm a bit old fashioned.

Edward is great. I like the apparrently controversial Ned shortening the best. That and Edmund were on our shortlist for ds2.

love Casper and cass is very cool.
not keen on Hugo.
