Brother for Alexandra

[Firsttimebabymummy]

Have a little boy due soon and struggling to decide on his name. His big sister is Alexandra. Based in the UK.

We settled on her name as like the regal vibes, potential nicknames, easily recognisable whilst being uncommon.

The list we have so far:

Laurence

Charles (like how both have unisex nickname)

Maxwell (Alex and Max)

Cedric

Edwin.. like Edward too.

We both love the name Frederick however feel its too popular as so many "Freddie's"

Any input or other suggestions much appreciated!

I like Maxwell and Cedric best though think Charles and Laurence maybe ‘go’ a little better. How about

victor
nicholas
christopher ‘kit’
frederick ‘Eric’
Vincent
leopold
francis
leonard
reginald
louis
douglas
walter
ernest

From your list I like Charles/Charlie best.

How about Arthur, Oscar or Edgar?

I love Charles.

Suggestions …

Benjamin
Francis
Jeremy
Nathaniel
William
Victor
Elias
Sebastian

I have an Edward - middle name Alexander. I’ve always thought the names, or variations of the names, go well together.

I like Charles, Edward or Frederick from your list, and think they all go perfectly with Alexandra.

Love Alexandra!

I like the suggestions of Frederick and Cedric.

How about Quentin? Or Leonard?

I like Charles and Frederick best. I don't like Cedric or Laurence.

Suggestions:
Maximilian (not Maxwell)
Julian
Nathaniel
James
Patrick
Elliott
Robert
Louis
Christopher (nn Kit)
Francis

Another vote for Nicholas, which was on PP's list.

Like Alexandra, it's classical and substantial without being flashy!

I like Laurence and Edwin best. What about:

Edward was my first thought before I read your list

Cedric is a great name

Thank you all!

Really like some suggestions- especially Sebastian but DH has vetoed.
We do like Benjamin and Christopher but can't use
Think Charles is front runner followed by Laurence then Edwin and Cedric at the moment.

LOVE Walter and Ernest but don't feel we can actually use them when said out loud if that makes sense!
