Name for our second boy

Boy Names
1

We’ve just found out we’re expecting our second boy. Our first is [name]Stanley[/name] (mostly [name]Stan[/name]) and we’d like to go down the old fashioned theme. I quite like:

[name]Ted[/name] (I like [name]Theodore[/name] but a close friend is about to have a girl called [name]Theodora[/name]) - think [name]Stan[/name] and [name]Ted[/name] is very cute.
[name]Wilfred[/name] [name]Henry[/name] (nn Wilf) - [name]Stan[/name] and Wilf also works v well
[name]Frankie[/name] - [name]Stan[/name] and [name]Frankie[/name], not sure quite as good but I like the name

Really need some inspiration for other ideas - I want something a little more unique than the usual [name]Alfie[/name], [name]Archie[/name], [name]Harry[/name] etc.

Thanks for your help!

I like [name]Theodore[/name] nn [name]Ted[/name] the best from what you mentioned.

I also like the suggestions of:
[name]Philip[/name] nn [name]Phil[/name]
[name]Gilbert[/name] nn [name]Gil[/name]
[name]Russell[/name] nn [name]Russ[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] nn [name]Cal[/name]
[name]Walter[/name] nn [name]Walt[/name]

I’m fond of [name]Winslow[/name] ([name]Wynn[/name]).

I still can’t find anything I love as much as [name]Ted[/name] [name]William[/name], [name]Wilfred[/name] [name]Charles[/name], or [name]Frankie[/name] [name]Edward[/name]… I do quite like [name]Wilson[/name] and [name]Willis[/name] now, but I dont know if they sound too modern next to [name]Stanley[/name]?

8

I like [name]Ted[/name]. [name]Ted[/name] [name]William[/name] is very baseball to me though. Based on your comment about the usual [name]Alfie[/name] and [name]Archie[/name] it sounds like you are in the UK? So over there you probably wouldn’t have that association.

[name]Wilfred[/name] [name]Charles[/name] I like. I think that would be my favorite but unsure how I feel about Wilf. But actually the more I mull it over I think it’s kind of cool. I like [name]Wilfred[/name] a lot better than [name]Wilson[/name] and [name]Willis[/name], just something more unique about it. And [name]Willis[/name] just makes me think too much about “Whatchu talkin about [name]Willis[/name]?” I’m getting more and more aboard the [name]Wilfred[/name] train.

[name]Frankie[/name] to me is too nickname-y for a full name. And since you don’t like this one as much with [name]Stan[/name] maybe it could eliminate that one because of that

[name]Stanley[/name] and [name]Wilfred[/name] aka [name]Stan[/name] and Wilf = :heart:

10

I like [name]Ted[/name] & [name]Wilfred[/name] more than I do [name]Frankie[/name]. [name]Stan/name & [name]Ted[/name] go the best for brothers in my opinion. Have you considered [name]Edmund[/name], [name]Edison[/name], [name]Edwin[/name] or [name]Edgar[/name] “[name]Ted[/name]”?

From your list, [name]Stanley[/name] and [name]Wilfred[/name] are most compatible.

Another idea: [name]Stanley[/name] and [name]Raymond[/name].

@lizabethm Is [name]Ted[/name] [name]William[/name] a baseball player then? Yes we are from the UK :slight_smile: Agree re: [name]Frankie[/name], I think i prefer [name]Frank[/name] in fact, but we will scratch from list.

Thank you for the opinions and suggestions so far, you people are wonderful!

Whoops, late in responding. But there is a famous baseball player (from like the 1940s-50s, not current) named [name]Ted[/name] [name]Williams[/name].

I think [name]Ted[/name] (or [name]Ned[/name]) would be perfect!
