Another boys name thread-with a difference....

[Familytree]

...well I think so anyway but I would say that as I need some responses!

We're having a boy and would like some suggestions for names but we're quite fussy in so far as we don't like modern names and would prefer more old fashioned/trad names that aren't used very much IYKWIM. In our immediate family the names we already have are:

Miles
Theodore
Kit
Henry
Dylan
Frank (Francis)
Oscar
Leo

Anyone?
The only one we can think of are Felix and Caspar but they don't make me go "yes! That's it"

Sebastian or Toby ?

We're thinking of using Kiernan for this one.

Barnaby or Edward ?

Jeremy/Jeremiah
Alexander
Simeon
Charles
Matthias

(love Kit by the way)

Edward, oh that's nice yes(I do remember liking that years ago) but may clash with Theodore.

Kiernan is very cool but a bit too cool for dh definitely.

No - Ed and Ted - complementary rather than clashing !

Not with Ted's selective deafness. Trust me!

Make Edward and Eddie then ! or stick to Edward !!

Love Edward - my nephew is Edward and I love that name !

I love Edward! Or Ed as he is known 'round here.

Ted often used to abbreviate Edward as well though so could get confusing.

I like 'older' names too and (including middle names) we have the following:

Antony
Edward
Alexander
Peter
George

George is lovely actually, I wonder if dh would like it. Husbands, they do complicate matters don't they?

BIL is called George. He's a twunt

Forgot a few from the rest of my family -

Charles
Daniel
Steven

Joseph
Benjamin
William
Matthew
Luke
Charles (Charlie)

??

Edward
Frederick
George
Christopher
James
Timothy
Vincent
Victor
Alfred
Crispin
William
Arthur
Henry
Harold
Jeremy

William
Tobias
Samuel

Love Oscar though

We've picked Ellis Niall for this baby (well not sure about the Niall, need to get dh on board!)

I like
Sterling, Reuben, Lars

DH and I have just admitted to one another that if we ever have a little girl we are going to call her Rainbow

Howard
Malcolm
Adrian
Philip
Kenneth
Gerald

Adam (my ds!)

These are brilliant it's so funny that browsing through baby books and I just don't seem to find any and then I read a few posts on here and love so many (can't say the same for dh though!)

I love Victor but don't have the guts to use it, it reminds me of my first - I really wanted Hugo for his name and dh put his foot down although now he thinks it would have quite suited him in a qurky kind of way and he's quite robust but I imagine what it would have been like if he's been a bit wimpy.

Greeny-I like Philip actually.
Very surprised by that.

Julian

I like Philip too. Will keep thinking

(I LOVE) name threads, I have even been tempted to have more children just because it gives me an excuse to think up names )

Greeny!

Get some cats instead, far less painful!
