oooh, starting to panic now!

[hw2004]

Hello again.

Can't believe how indecisive I am. Having absolutely decided on Sebastian I am now having second thoughts (again) but I literally have nothing else I like. I always wanted something slightly less common but not so way out iykwim.

I had considered Rory but then decided against, then Thomas but thought maybe too popular, then Toby but DH doesn't like it.

aaaargh....am going to have a nameless child at this rate!!

More suggestions or opinions on the above please. Already got an Oliver btw.

DS is Tobias.

[MrsTicklemouse]

Oscar and Toby were both on my shortlist for DS2 (DS1 is Oliver)

have recently met a milo and an archie with i think are both lovely names

[hw2004]

Izzybiz - you like very similar names to me. DS1 is Oliver and so i think Oliver and Toby sound nice together. DH is saying no as he used to have a cat called Toby so automatically thinks it's a cat's name - sigh!

I like all of your list but not so keen on noah. let me know what you decide!!

[izzybiz]

My Ds is Toby, Its my all time favourite boys name!

A good strong traditional boys name!
I'm not keen on names that sound like they would "date", The old classics are what I like, even if there are a couple of other at school!

We are having another Ds and my list is'

George
Isaac
Noah
Henry
Harry
Max
Jack

Dh is Charles so thats a maybe for the middle name!

what are everyone's feelings on Tobias/toby?

i love this name but DH isn't keen although I could work on him. However, i have asked a few friends/family and no one seems keen.

Judah? Biff? Kit?

[nappyaddict]

How about obi, coby, joby -all similar to toby but slightly more unusual?

[hw2004]

Nappy Addict - thanks for the suggestions!

I actually like Rufus but my friend's little boy is called it. I also like Arthur as a middle name as it's DH's grandad's name.

[nappyaddict]

Monty?

[nappyaddict]

Rufus, Geoffrey, Godfrey, Henry, Harry, Harold, Howard, Ronald, Donald, Bruno, Fergus, Albert, Harvey, Jarvis, Rufus, Theodore, Edmund, Edward

[nappyaddict]

Elmo, Elmer, River, Brook, Ash.

[nappyaddict]

Jasper?

[nappyaddict]

Arthur, Edgar, Edmund, Hector

[nappyaddict]

Stanley, Rupert, Boris, Theodore, Edward, Barnaby?

[nappyaddict]

[orangehead]

ethan
luca or lucas
harrison
alexander or xander for short

[nappyaddict]

Tobias rather than Toby?

Atm I am loving Ray and also Ethan.

How about Red or Wolf or Fox?

[mavornia]

I have a little Daniel - took me a while to get used to it as for ages I actally thought he looked more like an Oliver/Ollie

I do think it's a lovely name now though

[frazzledoldbag34]

What about :

Tristan
Felix
Marcus
Henry
Louis
Adam
Jacob

All would sound nice with Oliver I think.

[auburnmum]

Have you thought of Jasper? I know someone with 2 DSs, Jasper and Sebastian, so if you like Sebastian, maybe you would like Jasper too??

[hw2004]

I have to say I love Oliver and Oscar together aswell - it's so cute. Trying to talk DH into it but he thinks Oscar will date. god men are such hard work!!!

[Helsbels4]

No Thomas' in my Ds' year at school. He's a Ciaran. I really like Roman or how about Charles (Charlie) to go with Oliver? (Oliver Twist/Charles Dickens). Just a thought.

[GrapeJelly]

I love ClaireBears idea of Oliver and Oscar. It sounds so cute!

[reindeermum]

don't think so - yours must be only nursery in the country without a Thomas!

Maybe when you see him a name you hadn't even considered will suddenly just seem right (this happened with my ds1, although not until he was nearly a week old!) Don't panic!

[hw2004]

reindeermum - I did think that and tbh it's been what has put me off but when I thought about it I don't know a single one in my son's nursery or his pre-school. Maybe it's becoming less fashionable - hopefully???
