I've given my Dh the following Shortlist

[Bathsheba]

He has said No to every single boy's name suggestion I have come up with.

I have sent him the shortlist. These are my favourites. He can ADD to the shortlist but the name must come from the shortlist.

The middle name is set in stone. Surname is similar to Matthews.

Any obvious front runners or awful things that I've missed..

Stephen Montgomerie
Luke Montgomerie
Christian Montgomerie
Ben Montgomerie
Charlie Montgomerie
Nathan Montgomerie

Christian sounds the best with Montgomerie IMO, and Stephen is fab

I like them all. Montgomerie is lovely-have you considered it as a first name, given that you appear to have agreed on that one?

Not Charlie, I don't like the two "ie" sounds in a row.

Like Ben, Luke and Stephen.

Less keen on Christian and Nathan.

Hi Everyone - thanks so much

It really does have to be Montgomerie as a middle name - it is the only thing we've agreed on and actually we've had it as a boy's middle name since I was pregnant with DD2...we would have it as a first name but it really doesn't go as a first name with our surname...

charlie is a lovely name

Stephen- I like it but I can't imagine calling a baby Stephen.
Luke - ok not my favourite
Christian- Don't like too religious and also know a terror Christian.
Ben- I like Ben
Charlie-I like this best but I agree with LaDiDaDi adout the ie sound so would go for Charles with Charlie as a nn
Nathan-This is one of my fave names as well.

Stephen Montgomerie - not keen on Stephen; it seems very strange for a baby, although as an adult seems ok.

Luke Montgomerie - ok, but not my choice personally

Christian Montgomerie - don't like, sorry

Ben Montgomerie - nice, popular though if it bothers you; personally would go for Benjamin on birth certificate

Charlie Montgomerie - like this a lot, although again very popular. Also again, would use Charles on birth certificate

Nathan Montgomerie - not my choice

Can you not wait and see what he looks like?

FWIW I prefer Stephen and Luke.
