Noah gets my vote!

[serin]

Jonny

[Bumperslucious]

Oh Natty, I like all these names

Noel is a nice compromise. I like Freddie too, and Matthew and Sebastian (Seb), oh and Gabriel, oh, just all of them. Good luck over the next few weeks

[Boys2mam]

I haven't read the whole thread but its Jack all the way.....

[latoussaint]

Definitely Michael for Mick... it has a good lineage even if just in Irish sporting history...

[gagamama]

He's adorable, congratulations!

I love Matthew with your surname.

What about:

Marcus
Toby
Lewis
Christopher
Laurence
Jonathan
Jasper
Quentin
Nicholas
Austin
C laud
Percy

It's usually the dad who wants a hard-sounding, strong masculine name while the mum wants a cuddly, soft name with lots of vowels, not the other way round!

[mrmagoo21]

I called my 3rd son William, he's known as Will now which I love. Strangely I liked Noah for my 1st son but partner said no way!!!!

As a contrast I like Thomas, Ellen and Alex O'Dwyer

Good Luck!

[belgo]

Noah O'Dwyer sounds fine, there are far worse tongue twisters.

Matthew is also lovely. It doesn't matter about having the same initials - Dh and DD2 have the same initials.

[TheNatty]

ooooh i made discussion of the day!

still no name, i am having trouble cos when i look at him all i see is william!!
DH doesnt like matthew.

1 have BIL's and cousins called jack, daniel, jake, liam, jordon, david!
so all them names are out. DH is called michael.

we are leaning towards charlie, as we both can tolerate it. not sure whether to call him charlie or charles and shorten it? which sounds better?

[time4tea]

good names in my son's class are:

Silas
Lorcan
Joseph

[FairLadyRantALot]

oh just looked at Op's picture...gosh he is gorgeous Still lurve Noah!

[idunnop]

If you want Charlie, def go Charles and shorten it to Charlie. Especially as your other two have 'full' names (ie. Thomas not Tom...).

[largeginandtonic]

Charles is lovely.

[CannellK]

how about Daniel

[gardeningmum05]

i have a rory, callum and thomas, but we all call him tommy

[brimfull]

ds is charles

he is called both charlie and charles

[Squarah]

Congratulations!

Samuel (or is Sammy too close to Tommy if you call your DS that?)
Henry
Harry
Oliver
George
James (Jamie)

Let us know what you decide!!

[mhmummy]

Charlie sounds fine - I'd do Charles because people will call him Charlie anyway, and it gives you a choice

I think Isaac O'Dwyer sounds cool

[mhmummy]

meant to say it gives HIM a choice, as an adult!

[brimfull]

Isaac-love love love that name
