Hi we are due another baby boy in the new-year 🩵

We already have an Oliver Jack so I think we would like a more traditional name but open to more modern suggestions please!

So far we have these names floating around but nothing we can agree on!

Henry, Harry, Elliot, Lucas, George, Arthur, Archie

My husbands family already have a William, Benjamin and Sebastian so those names are out.

Also really struggling for a middle name!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated thank you 🙏

Oliver Jack is lovely! From your list I love George and Harry. Dislike Lucas, Archie and Arthur.

I second the suggestions of Alexander and James.

@shoopshoopdedoo thank you! I love the name Oliver and just don't really love anything else so really stuck.

My favourites are George, Harry and Elliot.

Husband likes Lucas and Archie but I'm not sure on either of those.

Elliot John is my name for a boy and I really like Oliver and it's on my list. Other names on my list are Noah and Theodore Smile

@Chevrotains I think Elliot is my favourite at the moment but husband isn't keen at all on Elliot.

Although he dismissed Oliver at first then changed his mind towards the end 😂
