Tobermory. DS2 gets called it all the time anyway.

Since we have an initial theme, for the boys, it would have to be Orinoco.

Bulgaria - it's just ahead of the new wave Uncle / Aunty names. (See previous discussions on Barbara.)

Tobermory and Adelaide are the obvious choices, although I am quite taken with Alderney.

Orinoco (I know a boy called Orin).

Tobermory is actually quite smart.

Ooh I couldn't use any of those they wouldn't 'go' with DS1's name or our surname. Apparently that is important.

There's an Obidos? Ooh, I chose that.

Ah, Obidos is the one in the poncho.

Shansi has a cheeky little ring to it.

Love the Wombles.

I don't remember any of those last ones

But Tomsk is a good strong name - and Mme Cholet was obviously the feminine one with the flirty French accent so I'd go with those two.

Orinoco! Imagine hollering that across the park!
