Name my little boy

[jags8]

Arthur- keep
Theodore - keep
Sullivan - toss
Garrett - toss
Edmund - keep but toss nn Ted. That doesn't even make sense.

Other suggestions:
Sebastian
Finn
Leo
Benedict
Harrison
Gideon
Abraham
August

Arthur and Edmund are my favorites from your list. I don't think you have to nickname Edmund though; I think it is a great standalone name.

I adore Arthur and Edmund. I wouldn't nn them, but do think Ted or Teddy could work as nns (as well as Ned). I also love Theodore, but it's definitely climbing.

Arthur- keep, it is plenty uncommon
Theodore- toss, it is very popular/trendy right now, and you say you don't like that
Sullivan- mehh
Garrett= toss, NAF
Edmund- keep, but I prefer Edward

I'll also suggest
Louis
Timothy
Simon
Gregory
Dominic

Keep Arthur, Theodore, Edmund, and Garrett. I wouldn't worry about popularity if you love a name.

Ted works as a nickname for Edmund. Ed becomes Ted or Ned. But I think Edmund is a great stand-alone name.

If you dislike Ed as a NN, I would throw out Edmund entirely. NNs tend to come up organically, and I think Ed is a natural NN for Edmund. Even if you insist on calling him Edmund, his friends, school, heck even HE might start calling him(self) Ed.

(We have friends who named their kid Alexander but HATE the NN Alex.. Guess whose son wants to be called Alex?)

Before I read all the way through I'm gonna comment on the nn for DS but not DD. I don't think you're completely crazy. My younger sister had endless nn options for her name and I had none. As a child I wished so bad I had nn options. It was kinda petty maybe but I spent a lot of time trying to figure something out!

I had the same situation with a sibling (I have no nn's, they have a lot of options) but I was on the other end of the spectrum in that I like having only one name.  I think it must be annoying to have to differentiate between your full name and your nn.

We're in the hospital with our sweet guy and still don't have a name. We've added Evander and Gale to the table; any opinions are welcome!

I LOVE Evander! Also suggesting Leander.

[DanaScullyX]

I vote for Hugo!

[hangry]

Love Evander too!
