I need a boys name!

[Boo44]

Found out today we're pregnant with baby boy number 3!

I've used both of my very favourite boys names already I really want a perfect name that I love just as much for this little prince, I'm worried there just isn't going to be one, I've considered so many already!

We have Jack James and Freddie (Frederick) Paul. Id like to avoid any other J or F names. I'm not at all bothered about popular or common names if I love them. OH is quite traditional so any nn would have to have a proper name on the birth certificate

Our list at the moment (but none of them really jump out at me or feel 'special' enough)

Benjamin (I like Benjamin but would we use the full name all the time? I like Benji but I find Ben quite boring)
Arthur
Henry (OH's favourite but I've considered it both times before and never used it so it feels like settling)
George - like but maybe not special enough
Archie - we both like but Archibald really doesn't float my boat!!
Albie
Noah - only ok

Names we can't use but I do like are Samuel, Oliver, Joshua, Dylan, Harry. Ones I'm not keen on are Sebastian and Reuben

I would love any suggestions at all, am hoping something jumps out at me!

Congrats! I'm also expecting a boy and struggling to agree on a name. I'm loving Xavier Thomas, just have to convince the OH.

Jack, Freddie and...

Oliver nn Ollie
Oscar
Elias nn Eli
Anthony nn Tony
Sebastian nn Sebby, Bastian
Kyle
Theodore nn Theo

Oh I like a PP's suggestion of Edward (Ted) with your other boys' names!

Other suggestions:

Alexander
Rafe
Harrison (Harry)

And I like all of your list really ! I agree Archie is lovely I wonder if there's another long name for it?

 

[Starlight32]

I like Alexander a lot. Noah from your list is also very nice!

 

[mum22ttc#3]

I love both Albie and Arthur from your list, Albie is our chosen name for this LO with Arthur being our second choice.

Other suggestions:
Seth
Sebastian
Isaac
Stanley

 

[Boo44]

We couldn't have Ted (which by the way I LOVE) as we have Freddie and often call him Fred, so it would be Fred and Ted!!

I'm quite liking Elijah (nn Eli) do you think it goes with Jack and Freddie?

 

[wannabemomy37]

Yes! I love Elijah!

 

[Bevziibubble]

I like Elijah!


Congratulations Boo!

 

[LeannieB]

Congratulations. I have 3 Boy's. Their names are Toby, Sam and Jamie xx

 

[jac4315]

Elijah is great!! I also love the name Matthew & Nicholas

 

[minties]

Oh another boy, congratulations! I'm hoping for a boy.

I can't think of any names at all but like Benji and Eli.

 

[HappyAnjeL]

I like Edward but as you said its going to be fred and Ted/Ed or Freddie and Teddy/Eddie. Just too close for siblings IMO.

Archie could be Archer on birth certificate too.. Not that that's really longer but it's less nicknamey..

I do like Eli!

 

[JessyG]

Someone told me that Archie is a relatively common nn for Arthur? Not sure how true that is. I love Arthur!

 

[Starlight32]

I like Elijah!

 

[ginny83]

How about Max or Maxwell?

I just found out I'm expecting my 3rd boy as well

 

[ClairAye]

Elijah sounds good, especially Eli! Congratulations, too!

 

[chelsealynnb]

I have a Lincoln Maxwell and I get a lot of compliments on his name. Everyone says it's such a strong name. I also have a Jason and Hayden.

 

[Eleanor ace]

Ooh another boy, congratulations, how special!
I love most of the names on your list, and Eli goes really well with your older DS's names. My favourite is Arthur, I love Artie as a nn and that's pretty similar to Alfie. Some other suggestions:
Lucas
Alexander
Rudy
Rufus
Oliver
Samuel
Myles
Maxwell
Leonard
