#3 on the way. Boys name - please comment on my list!

bdababe · May 31, 2010, 10:15am

I’m English (although do not live in [name]England[/name]) and although we don’t know what we are having yet (31.5 weeks pregnant), I am guessing it will probably be another boy since we already have 2 boys!

Our 2 boys are called:
[name]William[/name] [name]Tobias[/name] [name]Seaton[/name] (we call him “[name]Toby[/name]” as [name]William[/name] is a family name and is not used to call him by)
[name]Augustus[/name] [name]Jeremy[/name] [name]Seaton[/name] (we call him “[name]Gus[/name]” or “[name]Gussie[/name]”)

Given that [name]Tobias[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] are quite “grand” names, we are thinking we should go that way for #3 BUT with the option of a nice shortened nickname, like [name]Toby[/name] and [name]Gus[/name].

The names on my list are (all with the middle name [name]Anthony[/name] as that’s my father’s name that we’ve decided to use). I have not discussed these with my husband yet - he’s told me to come up with a list and then show him!

It probably shouldn’t be that “weird” because even though [name]Tobias[/name] and [name]Augustus[/name] are somewhat unusual, they aren’t totally “out there”. I also want to have a good nickname as they/we may well not want to use the full name but more for their birth certificate and official docs. (Warning - there are some pretty “out there” names on this list!!

Our surname is Freisenbruch (pronounced Freeze - en - brook)

* [name]Raphael[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Seaton[/name] ”[name]Raffy[/name]”.

* [name]Archibald[/name] ”[name]Archie[/name]” [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Seaton[/name]
* [name]Barnabas[/name] ”[name]Bas[/name]” or ”[name]Barney[/name]” [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Seaton[/name]

* [name]Montague[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Seaton[/name] ”[name]Monty[/name]”
* [name]Herbert[/name] [name]Anthony[/name] [name]Seaton[/name]  ”[name]Herbie[/name]”

I still very much like “[name]Ralph[/name]” but it’s just such a short name compared to “[name]Augustus[/name]” and “[name]Tobias[/name]”.

Your thoughts/comments on these names would be appreciated! Need to get this list “final” so I can show it to my husband (I’m sure he’ll have a good laugh at some of them!!)

I think you should use [name]Ralph[/name] if you love it!

My personal fav and think would be a great match would be [name]Sebastian[/name].

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

Millikate · May 31, 2010, 4:17pm

My favorites are [name]Raphael[/name], [name]Judah[/name], & [name]Atticus[/name].

[name]Do[/name] you like the name [name]Rafferty[/name]? I think that fits with your boys and you could call him [name]Raffy[/name].

Good luck!

bdababe · May 31, 2010, 5:16pm

Yes, I do like the name [name]Rafferty[/name]. My husband and I are going out to dinner on [name]Saturday[/name] to discuss names! Have no idea what he will say about all of these. I think it’s going to be interesting!

OK - I’ve run my own little poll looking at your responses (thank you for your kind words about my choices) and [name]Baby[/name] Center’s name board.

This is where the votes stand so far (please keep your comments coming!)

I’m guess struggling with [name]Atticus[/name] - mainly because I’m not a big fan of the nn [name]Atty[/name] and can’t really think of anything else. Also, [name]Ignatius[/name] - again, [name]Iggy[/name] is fine for a while but when he gets to a work environment, it may be kind of weird!
