Howard?

[SniffyHock]

I am due with number 3 in a few weeks, we don't know the sex but I am really stumped for a boy's name.

I really like Howard (Howie for short) but our eldest is Edward - do you think they are too similar?

Any other suggestions will be gratefully recieved - to give an idea of what I like, DH has already vetoed Dominic, Jeremy, Rory and Zachary!

his middle is Gregory

Howard from Take That springs to mind, which conjures mental pictures of him ripping off his leather chaps in a MUCH paused section of dvd.

At a colleagues evening wedding reception last year within 10 mins of arriving at least 10 people had hissed in my ear: OMG, did you know his middle name is HOWARD!!!! The mick is still being taken at work, so it seems to be a bit of a comedy name for some people.

that Halifax bloke is called Howard

'nuff said

Howard and Edward are too similar IMO,yes

Howie sounds like Jonathan Ross trying to say 'Harry'.

I wanted Howard for my last baby but got vetoed. I think it's cool and Howie is a cute nn. I thik it's ok with Edward, not as bad as Edward Woodward is it?
