I am expecting DS1 in June and although DH and I had come up with a list as long as your arm of girls names that we loved, we have so far failed to find any boys name that have that 'wow factor' for us.

Our shortlist so far consists of:
George, Jack, Alexander, Edward (nn Eddie) and Samuel (nn Sam)

Our surname is Stewart. Even though I don't like it we have to have Robert as a middle name as it's been in DH's family for the last million years apparently, but we've agreed that we can also have my grandfather's name, Joseph. So, the name would end up being:
xxxxxxxx Robert Joseph Stewart.

If anyone has any inspiring first name sugestions then I'd love to hear them!!

What about Paul?
No, just remembered the "Poo at Paul's" ad.
I like George with your other nnames.

To me Charles would go nicely with the two middle names you have.
James is also a good solid name and IMO currently underused.
Can you tell I like classic names
