...brothers Thomas and George, also have a strong boys name as a surname that begins with O, so we have to be careful with initials.

I am looking for something different to Max and Jack, but as nice as them, maybe a little bit wacky but not too much, and deffo not poncey (I am a Southerner in the North West, I have to be careful with my accent) We have been through countless name books/websites and not hit on the one yet, so it's over to you lot!

To give an idea, my favourites are Seth, Seb(astian), Albert (Albie), DH likes Charlie and Harrison, neither of us like each others (Well to be fair, I love Harrison, but I don't like 'Arrison, which is what it becomes up here!)

Bluechampagne good choice !!!

With a Thomas and a George, I'd go with Matthew, Lawrence, James (appreciate this is not an option!) Nicholas or Robert. I totally hear ya re: the ponciness aspect although, if I may be brutally honest, I think Albert is quite possibly the ponciest of the lot. I'd be wanting to go with something fairly traditional with a Thomas and a George (both gorgeous names, by the way). Somehow a Thomas, George and insert wacky name here just wouldn't work.

Charlie Oliver sounds very nice I think.

my son is seth...we get a lot of emmerdale, jokes, my nan even calls him armstrong!!! but that will soon be erased from peoples memories...i hope!! its a very good name: it cant be shortened, which is a bug bear of mine and its nice and short and easy to spell (so my ds will be writing his own name on his pictures in nursery!!) the only problem we get is people who cant pronounce 'th' properly so we get seff sometimes but that is very rare!
