    Thanks for all your suggestions. Haha, thanks smiles4u - I have considered that name in passing.

    Some other names we've talked about have been Roman (I like, DH is unsure) and Archer. Still nothing is jumping out at me though .

    I'm a big fan of Hayden (My DS) and Cooper (his middle name - would have been his first but DH refused flat out to name his son after a car )
    My boy's name picks for this one are:
    Reuben
    Archer
    Rowan
    Blake
    Owen

    DH of course doesn't like any of them so we have settled on Evan. Other names we discussed were
    Jeremy
    Ryan
    Robert

    I think they all go well with Oliver.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for all your help! After talking with DH, we've got a bit of a list (actually, this is DH's list - but I kind of gave up cause I'm too fussy, lol).

    So, here are the names on DH's list. Tell me which ones you like - keeping in mind we'd like it to go nicely with Oliver, and also our surname ends in 'y', so I'm not too keen on names with an 'ee' sound at the end.

    Archer
    Charlie
    Felix
    Jasper
    Lucas
    Riley
    Xavier

    Ooh ooh Jasper!!!!

    That was on our boys list

    And it goes great with your surname

    Eta - DH thinks Xavier or Jasper work best with your surname. So that's another guy opinion for you.

    Haha! Actually, I don't mind Jasper - so it's definitely top contender .

    I like Archer & Lucas from your DH's list. I think Lucas goes best with Oliver.

    I love Xavier. What about Alexander? Or Edward? My DS2 was going to be Oliver, and I already had an Alexander. Olly and Alex work well. Mind you so does Olly and Ned or Olly and Xavier...

    Good luck!

    After talking with DH this afternoon we have now narrowed it down to:

    Archer
    Jasper
    Xavier

    I don't know if we'll pick a name beforehand, but at least we now have a short-list. Middle name we're still toying with ideas. William goes with all of these names I think?
