Name to go with George & Molly

24 replies

ancientgeordiegirl · 21/09/2009 22:52

hi am due to have a baby boy in December and my hubby and I are no where near agreeing to a name. My problem is that I don't like many boys names (I went through a name book and could only come up with a list of about 15) - the ones I do love (Gabriel and Rory) have been given the thumbs down - my husbands current first choice of Logan is not popular with me either! Our other dcs are George and Molly so a name should go with that - I'm fairly straight down the line when it comes to names - don't want one in the top 10 though as don't want him to be one of many in his class....

hi Thanks for your suggestions! I will be vetoed on any "old" names like Stanley and Arthur though. I like Noah but one of best friends has just got a little 8 week one! Funnily enough Rufus is on my list and Hugo is on my hubby's list - trouble with Rufus is that a family member has a dog called Rufus but I still really like it!

I have to admit Rufus and Hugo are my absolute favourites

what about Hector or is that too old man for your DH?

ancientgeordiegirl · 21/09/2009 23:10

DH has actually mentioned Hector but I was not so keen also our surname is 2 sylabelles ending with tt so not sure that it goes...

Edward - great name (biased)

Mine is known as Ed which is pretty cool, Eddie is cute for little ones and Edward is a good solid name for when he's an importamt bank manager.

And there's always Woody for a change.

dizzydixies · 21/09/2009 23:32

I do love a baby Teddy who can grow into an Edward/Ed etc

dizzydixies · 21/09/2009 23:33

and if you like Noah but feel you couldn't use it what about Jonah? similar feel to it

Jojay · 21/09/2009 23:34

My Ed is only 10 months so probably still at the 'Teddy' stage, but Ed really suits him

Sorry, hijack......

Clifton and Stacey

ancientgeordiegirl · 21/09/2009 23:45

hi just off to bed but Edward (Teddy) on our lists as I've always liked Teddy too - again the only thing that puts us off is that close friends (DDs Godfather) have an Edward so don't want to be too much of a copycat..although they call him Eddie which we wouldn't. I like William (Will) and we don't have close friends with a William so perhaps I should be going back to these good solid names and not pining over Gabriel and Rory!

adam
max

TokenFemale · 21/09/2009 23:54

I was going to suggest William as soon as I say your thread title. Goes great with your other names.

ancientgeordiegirl · 22/09/2009 07:53

hi! My Twin Sister would agree with Adam as her DS is one! Max is on our lists but I'm not sure as it seems a bit grown up for when they are little could I get away with calling him Maxie without him sounding like a girl or the foreign car from Roary the Racing car? What other nn would you suggest for Max?

OP posts:
cazboldy · 22/09/2009 08:04

really like William

or how about

James or Thomas?

traditional without being old?

Or Charles/Charlie

that goes ok.....

I have James, Caitlin, Harry, Charlie and Molly

or

Andrew - you don't hear that much anymore?

HappyBump · 22/09/2009 10:34

what about:

Alexander (Alex)/Alistair?
Theo
Isaac
Henry
Daniel
Benjamin
Samuel

I have a DS who is called George and am expecting another boy ... and we are yet to decide on names.

I love the name Noah but my nephew is called Noah, and the first time my DH met my nephew he was wearing a tutu so as a consequence my DH has been put off!

ancientgeordiegirl · 23/09/2009 00:30

my Twin has a Caitlin!

Round where we are Thomas is way too popular - Andrew is my FIL's middle name - I quite like my FIL but not enough to use his name!

OP posts:
ancientgeordiegirl · 23/09/2009 00:36

Alistair is a great name - my DH is Alasdair so already got one in the family.... Of your other suggestions I really like Henry and have also considered Theodore (so I can nn him Teddy...) - As George is a 1 syllabel name I'm thinking that this little boy needs to have a name with 2 syllabels maximum.

Am now swaying towards Rufus after reading and article (with sexy photo) of Rufus Sewell in the Culture section of this weeks Sunday Times

I like irish names (being biased), so I'd go for:
Hugh
Lorcan
Cillian
Callum
Finn
Hector (after seeing the sooo edible Eric Bana in Troy)
I also LOVE Edward, it being my grandpas name. It can be changed so many ways and is a strong, clear name.

jkklpu · 24/09/2009 20:17

I know a family with a Molly, George and John

loobylu3 · 24/09/2009 22:49

Henry, Theodore, Edward and Rufus would be my favourites!

ancientgeordiegirl · 27/09/2009 19:55

Luxmum - I'm liking a lot of your suggestions - will work on Lorcan or Hugh with my DH,
jkklpu - John wouldn't work for us - our surname is the same as a high profile politician called John so don't want to blight the little baby for life!
Loobylu3 - those 4 are definate contendors - just can't decide - find boys names so hard compared to girls!

We were meant to be deciding this weekend and of course haven't even discussed it - still have about 12 weeks to go so should be ok!
