A family member has stolen our name...help

[Wolfblass]

We decided more or less this morning that bump to be is to be called Harry Joseph...

Just had a call from my mum informing me that her sister, my auntie (my age) has called her baby HARRY!!!

Now i need suggestions as we are at a real loss..

I would like something strong and traditional but not too poular (now i realise Harry is far more popular than i thought, but i honestly don;t know of ay in our area and have had many people 'research' that for me!)

DD is Georgia-Mae and the surname is Wellard so needs to go with those.

Ooh i love Seth.... i bet HE doesn't!!!

Luke reminds me of a dogs name, love Zachary, not keen on Rory, Ross, Tim or Jake, Maxwell will be shortened to Max - another 'doggy' name.

Keep them coming!

I wouldn't use Harry either in your circumstances, mainly because the cousins will be so close in age.

How about:

Dominic Wellard
Quentin Wellard
Rory Wellard
Tobias (Toby) Wellard

My little one was very nearly a Harry but called him Isaac despite my family hating the name.

What about:
Elijah
Christian
Miles
Nate

I do like Joel too

Michael
Kyle
Sam

My vote is for Arthur but that is my Dad's name so I may be biased.

I like Elijah too but DH is from the non-biblical names camp.

I would have Henry, as someone has already said, and shorten it to Harry. Or Joseph Henry maybe?

Edward and Arthur are also great tho!

My ds1 was very nearly Harry. Ended up being Patrick Harry. Lots of different shortening available, everyone knows it but not very common.

I love Seth too, discovered it when ds2 was a couple of weeks old and too late to change his name!

oh how annoying for you. I remember posting on a thread about names before as my dd is a Georgia and my ds is Harry! We really struggled to agree on any boys names.

For dd I was going to have Oliver.

ds' middle name is Michael

that should be on your name thread before

No one "owns" a name!!!!!!!!! I have three sets of cousins, all on the same side of the family, similar ages called Jo/e and Chris!

Bikerunski - very true

We are currently thinking of Samuel

(which i personally love, only slight problem our 11 yr old Dally is called Samson...)

What middle names would go with Samuel

I have a Samuel James

Benjamin?
Sebastian?
Alexis
Lewis/Louis
Noah
Finn/Finlay
Oscar
Samuel/Sam
Ethan
Max
Nathan /nathaniel
Daniel/Dan
Rhys
Zack
Theo

just seen your Samuel - i know a Samuel Joseph!

I would love Sebastian, Thoe or Oscar and i like Finlay.

Dp will have none of it..

Sorry i mean Theo not Thoe...

I have a samuel James too!

If not samuel what about

Benjamin Wellard

Oliver Wellard

Love Benjamin but cannot stand Ben or Benji and like Oliver as a middle not first name..

harvey

no one has 1st dibs or ownership on any name harry was 3rd most popular 2008,so inevitably someone else likey it too

I know we didn't have dibs or ownership - pmsl!

Maybe it's done me a favour!?

names are a leap of faith,you chose hoping it doesn't become associated with bampots/schlebs

thats all

Every third child where I live is called Harry....I think it is both a sign and a gift

Daniel

Okay so dp's favourite is back in the game.

First time around when pg with DD 5 years ago i absolutley vetoed it.

The said name is Gabriel. All my family and friends HATE it, and i think their opinions rubbed off on me slightly (i was only 21). I know quite like it and think Gabe is brilliant for short.

Other names on the table that we both agree on at the moment are

Harvey or Samuel so:

Harvey Gabriel
Gabriel Harvey

or Samuel Harvey
or Harvey Samuel
