Currently expecting DC4. It will be our first gender surprise and DH and I cannot agree on a boys name.

We love vintage/traditional names, our DDs are Ada, Nelly & Margot with middle names that we felt just flowed. I’m not too fussed about meaning/popularity/origin
Theres a few we can’t use as already in the family: Harry, Arthur, Ralph, Henry, James Thomas, Sidney, Oscar, Wilf.
DH loves Edward/Eddie or Edison/Sonny but I’m really not a fan. Edward feels a bit too pretentious and Sonny sounds like I couldn’t be bothered to think of a better name for my first DS. (Was also the name of our neighbours recently deceased dog)
He also loves Silas but it doesn’t go with our surname at all.

names i love but DH has vetoed are Caleb, Benjamin, George, August, Jack,
If we have another DD her name will be Phoebe Sloane.

Please help ❤️

Thanks all. Some really lovely names on here I’ve added Monty Stanley and Albert to the list. A lot are not to my taste. Laurence David Simon etc isn’t really the era I’m after but thank you all for your suggestions!

What’s pretentious about Edward? It’s an old classic English name?

What about Edgar?

Interesting that you've picked Phoebe - I wouldn't have said that's it's the same era, but I could be wrong.
Stanley and Monty are great.
Also Ernest, Eugene, Laurie, Sidney, John, Hughie, Billy, Wilf.

I never normally comment on these but your daughter's names are beautiful and for the first time I had names pop into my head to go with them.

My first thought was Benjy before I saw your names!

FeegleFion · 02/02/2025 19:51

My son’s name is Jude & it’s still my favourite name for a boy, 12 + years on & I think goes beautifully with your girls’ names.

Other names that go with your girls’ beautiful names:

Sebastian (Seb/ Bastian)
Mac
Grady
Hugo
Albie
Monty

Congratulations on your upcoming baby.

I’m sure you’ll find the perfect name for them when they arrive
