Expecting DC2...
We already have Edward nn Ted
Front runner for boy is Angus nn Gus but slightly worried Ted and Gus sound like a couple of American truckers!
Also quite like Rufus and Henry.
For girls we like Alice but is it very common? Also like Nancy and Margot.
Any thoughts or other suggestions gratefully received

I thought Alice when I read your post title! Margot is a great name. I think Gus goes well with Ted. Alice is popular on MN but I only know one little Alice. I think if you like it, go for it.

I love Ted and Gus though.

Ted and Nancy is reminiscent of Sid and Nancy though.

Gus is nice. You could always have Gussie for a girl too? I know a lovely one short for Augustina.

My first thought was Bill but maybe not!
Is Alice top 10? I find I only hear top 10 names a lot. The others are less popular than I thought (school teacher so meet lots of children too)
Do you like Alex? Alice is a very pretty name

I like Edward and Angus for brothers, and I think Ted and Gus are fine together.

Angus is a great name! Love your girl's names too but prefer Alice which is my favourite and the name I am never allowed.

Love Margot. Gus and Ted are very sweet together. Also think Alexander/Alex goes well. Good choice with Edward btw, having a little boy and DH and I have chosen it for him! I work in a school and there are quite a few Alices, but it is a lovely timeless name.

I think Gus is lovely and goes fine with Ted. My hypothetical DS2 would be Ted or Johnny if that helps.

Gus (August/Augustus? When is baby due?) is fab.
