Boy name help!

[ARodeoQueen]

I have previously posted and had loads of amazing help with girls names. I now need help with boys names please! 34 weeks and don't know the sex although I have got a feeling baby is a boy!
We are both teachers and would prefer a name of a child we haven't taught as I just picture a face. We have a son called Sidney (named after his Great- Grandpa). We like these names (but they aren't the one) Arthur, Oscar, Walter, Jesse.

My DH loves the name Orlando (Orly). I like the name but really not sure if we can really have a Sidney and Orlando!!

Middle name likely to be Gene.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. We spent 2 hours last night going through names and no luck! Thank you!.

Ernest is nice - Ernie for short.

I like Orlando but can’t get past Orly - it really irks me, as does Lando.

Austin Gene
Francis Gene
Lawrence Gene

Walter goes really well with Sidney, is it really a no?! Sid and Walt!

For me, Joel is the perfect name, but Joel Gene is probably a no.

Leonard

I like Orlando though.

How about Gene as the first name, very cool and not many around.

Dexter

I love Jesse with Sydney.

How about Raymond (Ray) or Stanley (Stan)?

Can't see anything wrong with Sidney and Orlando, and Orlando Gene is rather fantastic

But if not - Arnold nn Arnie?

I also like the Ernest suggestion

Are you really against having Gene as a first name? It’s quite hard to find a name that goes before it. Having said that, you don’t often say both names together.
How about Isaac? I’m not really sure about Orlando, especially as you have a Sydney.

Sidney and

Quentin Gene
Leonard Gene
Walter Gene

Wilbur

Sidney and brother ..
Ormond Gene
Osmond Gene
Oswald Gene
Archibald Gene
Austin Gene
Zelman Gene
Tasman Gene
David Gene

How about Eugene shortened to Gene?

Otherwise:
Dominic
Barnaby
Tobias
Benjamin
Fabian
Rowan

I love Gene as a first name!

Cary? (as in Cary Grant) just a random thought as Gene made me think of Gene Kelly.
Alec?

I suppose Sidney and Orlando are both cities, although Sidney is spelt differently to the Australia city, and they are cool names.

William, Billy for short.
Orlando is too linked with Virginia Woolf for me.

Douglas / Dougie
Ralph
Monty
Gilbert
Wilfred
Rupert
Oswald / Ozzy
Laurence
Victor
Solomon
Vincent / Vinnie
Angus
Barnaby
Rufus

Hector
Oswald- ozzy
Cedric
herbert- herbie

Its not horrible but I don't think I could face the looks on peoples faces when you tell them your sons names are Sidney and Orlando!

Thank you for all of your help and suggestions so far. I am taking it all in! I do actually like Gene as a first name too.

Billy Gene (is not my lover, she’s just a girl that claims that I am the one but the child is not my son)
Sorry, couldn’t resist! 😁

@rainbowstardrops , I knew someone would bite

Sorry! I was only having a laugh 😉

Me too!
