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

[NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain]

...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!)

I'm so going to start a thread for baby girls names being as I can only come up with boys names and am expecting a daughter haha

Oh I've seen plenty I like, t'is DH that is the problem!

Perhaps I need to broaden my expectations? DH obviously doesn't like the same sort of names as me, how about things that aren't quite so traditonal, but still not 5 in a class, nor made up gimicky names? See if you can persuede me and him!

have you added any from this list to your favourites or still prefer your original choice ... at least we can see then which you like!

Jude, Jonty

NatalieJane - I remember when you got the idea of Seth, and you weren't even pg then! Hope all is well
xx

Yep, Seth stayed with me!

On my list is:

Seth
Seb(astian)
Albert (Albie)
Edward (Ned)
Rudy
Aled
Noah
Hugo/Hubert (Hughie)
Arthur (Art)
Walter (Walt)
Euan
Rory
Donald (Donny)
Luca
Gus
Alex
Guy
Nathan

DH's list:

Charlie
Harrison

A slight possilbility for both of us list:

Samuel
Dylan
Alfie

We are both touch and go on these though, kind of feels like settling, instead of actively choosing.

Charlie is the best name! Before you call it common, my gorgeous DS is called Charlie but he has an unusual surname so he can get away with it...

For what it's worth, Harrison is a beautiful, tradish name that goes very well with Thomas and George, IMO.

I do like Charlie, but because of my accent up here, it just sounds too poncey.

And Harrison goes the other way, because of everyone else's accent up here, it turns into 'Arrison, which just makes my teeth itch.

And I hadn't thought about the George and Harrison thing...

OOh I've got it!
What about Campbell?
(very cool IMO)
(adds to list for impending DC3)

Nope, it was suggested up the thread somewhere, DH asked if he'd be tomato or cream of chicken flavoured.

Ever the comedian my DH, as you can probably see....

Struan?

(I'm in Scotland as you may have guessed so Campbell up here is normal and wouldn't suggest soup!)

Arran
Evan
Hugh
Finn (Finlay)
Atholl
Christian? / Kristian?

Am running out of ideas now.....

Archie?
Freddie?
Alfie?

(am probably repeating but just going through my list!)
I like Freddie (Fred is pretty cool too IMHO)

Hamish??????
Cameron
Forbes?

I give up!

No, don't give up, giving up is not allowed.

Arran is lovely, will run it by DH.

Struan isn't pronounced how it reads is it? Can't remember how it's pronounced now though!

My first thought was Dylan then Arthur.

What about Eric?

Or Max?

Zach?

Michael known as Mickey or Richard known as Ricky?

I also like Anthony, thats my dads name and ds2 middle name, I dont think thats been mentioned

Rufus
Jonty
Leo
Benedict
Tristram

Struan rhymes with Euan (Stroo-an)

What about Robert (but called Bobby?) - another of my nephews names.

Jacob?

ok, have run out.

I know a lovely little boy called Seth by the way.

I also know an Arran. He's gorgeous.
