Looking for your opinion on boys names as have been struggling to make a decision. Only one week left until due date so need to narrow things down. We already have the name Arabella picked out if its a girl but still working on middle names if any suggestions too. Ok so the boys names on our list do far are: Henry James - we know a few baby Henry's but still love this name. Harrison James - this would most likely get shortened to Harry which doesn't go with our last name very well but love this name! Archie James Max James Edward James - would get Eddie Tully James Thanks in advance for all your help This post has been edited by Kylie_jan13: 04/01/2013, 07:54 AM

I love Henry James. Maybe you should also look at the spin off thread for boy equivalent "beautiful" names. They may be your style. Could you choose a girl middle name that has a family association, like grandmother/great-grandmother ? One of my dds has Maree (pronounced ma-Ree). I think it sounds lovely with Arabella.

I love Henry and Edward. Arabella is definitely my favourite from the Bella Bunch. Depending on how long your surname is Arabella Faith Arabella Mae Arabella Phoebe Arabella Olive Arabella Caroline Arabella Harriet

Henry James is far and away my favourite. Is James set in stone? Arabella I think I would go with a sweet but short middle. Arabella Niamh Arabella Pearl Arabella Claire Arabella Wren Arabella Fern
