... One of these? Something else? Due any day now and DH and I can't agree.

Dexter
Dylan
Theo
Rufus
Isaac

Thank you!

I immediately thought Joshua and Reuben.

Dexter is my favourite on that list.

Thank you. I like Joshua but there's one in our close family. Dh turned his nose up at Rueben.

Not keen on Dylan as don't like having 2 names with the same ending.

Not keen on Theo as when you say "Ethan and Theo" the two "th" sounds together sound odd.

I think Dexter and Rufus are very different in style to Ethan.

I like Isaac best.

Oh, and I missed Noah off the original list.

Off your list, Isaac. But have you thought about Caleb?

Samuel was the name I thought of before seeing your list.

Ethan and Isaac sounds best to me.

I bloody love Caleb. Have been suggesting it pretty much every other day since I got pg. Dh won't consider it. Silly man.

Jacob was one of the first names we talked about so I could add that back on. Samuel is too close to an ex's name Grin so can't use that. Felix, Seth, Jonah have all featured from time to time but never stayed on our list for long - can't really explain why.

Argh. Why is it so hard?

Axl. Axel. My cousin has an Ethan and an Axel. Not sure how she spells it...

Isaac immediately sprung to mind.

I know an Ethan with a brother called Elijah.

What about Jared or Samson?
