DC2 is due in May and we are struggling to come up with a name if it is a boy (we don't know if it is a boy or a girl).
We have a shortlist but don't feel strongly about any of the names and seem to have a problem with most of them. On the shortlist are:
Toby - not sure if we'd use Tobias on BC or just Toby.
Oliver - popularity puts me off and I can't work out whether nn would be spelt Ollie or Olly. Would it get annoying having to correct it all the time?
Rafferty - am inclined to think this will date but I do like it.
Frederick - as with Oliver, I can't decide whether nn would be spelt Freddie or Freddy.
Fergus
Giles - a pretty uncommon name and I can't work out why.
Monty - will this make everyone think dog rather than boy?!
Max
Rupert - the bear connection.
What do people think?
Any other suggestions are welcome - I seem to like names that end in ie/y but, with the exception of Oliver, prefer ones which aren't as popular as Archie, Alfie, Charlie etc. Names we have considered and discounted or can't use include Murray, Barnaby, Digby, Humphrey and Percy.
Many thanks!
