    Brother for Edith...

    Hi

    I'm expecting a son in December and we're stuck on names! my husband and I were so convinced it was a girl so we didn't really plan for a boy. My first child is Edith (Edie) Nadejda. Our rules haha. Must be a non-extremely popular name with a good nickname and a more grown up form. The middle will be Radley and we like nn like Beau, Finn...

    I was going to say Harry till I saw mn of Radley.

    I think Oscar or Damian or Lionel would fit.

    When I saw your thread title, I thought, "Charles!" After reading your post, though, Charles may be too popular for you (#62 last year in America.) But I think Edith and Charles (Edie and Charlie) sound wonderful together. Charles Radley sounds good, too.
    I may be back if I think of some other good options! Congratulations and best wishes!

    My recommendation is ...

    Archibald / Bartholomew / Gordon / Mortimer / Raymond / Theodore

    [and]

    Agatha / Dorothea / *[EDITH]* / Florence / Josephine / Theodora

    ... a sibset comprised of "Edna" names [Nameberry term] for this child and those to come [if applicable].

    Well I think I would skip Beau Radley, honestly. I like Beau but it's a bit close to Boo.

    Dashiell "Dash" Radley
    Finnian or Phineas "Finn" Radley
    Zacharias "Zach" Radley
    Hezekiah or Ezekiel "Zeke" Radley
    Cassius "Cash" Radley
    Dominic "Nic" Radley
    Zebulon "Zeb" Radley
    Alaric/Alastair/Alan "Al" Radley

    Fergus Radley - "Gus"

    Winslow Radley - "Win"

    Arthur Radley - "Art" or it means "bear" so that could be a cool nickname

    Alistair Radley - "Al"
