    Boys name that goes with...

    So we're having another little boy and cannot talk about names without bickering It was so simple with our first son - he was always going to be Peter, no question. It's perfect for him and we love it! But now we're having trouble finding another boys name that we're just as happy with.

    We'd like another traditional name, nothing starting with R, D or P becasue of our names. Our last name begins with a B and has two syllables.

    At this point it's going to be William..which is nice but it's just not the one.

    I love Edward - nicknames Ned, Ted, Eddie... it's classic and you can use it for a boy or a man.

    I also like Oscar and Oliver, Nicholas and Benjamin.

    Good luck!

    Wow thanks girls! I read these out to DH and we actually had a conversation about names that didn't end up in an argument

    Ones we like are
    Sam (I prefer Samuel but DH doesn't)
    Edward (I think this one is winning)
    Oscar
    Elliot
    Alexander (again DH prefers the shortened Alex)
    Liam
    Walter

    so many on your lists are ones that I do really love but DH just can't stand! I also like Stanley and Wesley but it's not going to happen. DH has now suggested George which is okay.
