Hello, I'd really appreciate thoughts on a shortlist of boy names please, and any other suggestions you think we might like based on these. We don't know the sex yet so may not use any of these. They will be a sibling to George. Middle name will be Alastair. Surname double barrelled S-S.

James
Griff (Gruffydd)
Fred (Frederick)
Wilf (Wilfred)
William

Thanks :)

James is lovely but h

Sorry, I'll try again! James is lovely but does it work with your surname? Ending with an s does it merge into your surname? For example James Spencer, James Smith, etc. can sound like one word.

Had not thought about the Harry Potter connection! I'd definitely rule out Fred and George based on that!

I'd go for James, lovely name and Jamie is a really cute nickname.

James for sure.

George and William is perfect!

I know a lot of Griff/Gruffs. They're not young. About 30 y.o. or older.

It doesn't really go with George and the shared initial might be an issue.

I think James and William go the best with George.

I like Frederick best but don’t like nn Fred or Freddie.
how about a name like Hugo?
