Please, we need help, traditional, but not boring boys names, to go with...

...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!)

Some lovely ones, all already been knocked out by DH, Noah, Rory, Alex, are favourites but again DH says no.

Why is it they say no, but then not come up with anything themselves?

More please

See now I really like Nathan and DH hasn't completely vetoed it, but is it too similar to my name?

Oh I like Nathan. It is similar but not too similar.

Will have a think on Nathan, anymore for anymore?

We need a middle name as well, though obviously a first name would be good too!

Like Jack and Max but not Jack and Max; Guy, Gus, Greg, Saul.

Classic that would go with Thomas and George; Peter, Richie(Richard) Edward, Nicholas, Daniel, Dominic, Marcus

I love Monty, DH's response was "what like Monty Python?"

Love Sebastian as well, DH says nope.

I have told him if I get the point where I have given birth and we've still not chosen a name I am picking it, he actually had the balls to gaffaw at me....

Julian is nice. Also like Julius. But that would be considered 'too poncey' in my neck of the woods. Really like it myself.

Not so keen on Nathaniel, name association thing.

Guy is good, will run that passed DH. Not sure I like it for a baby though .

I am so glad that my DH has always agreed pretty much straight away.

Tell him you are calling him 'Julius' and that is that. See what he thinks of that!!

Julian/Julius sound a bit feminine to me, and deffo poncey around here.

David

Thomas George David

Classic names and he will probably be the only David in his class
