Those with 3 and more DC - did you find it really difficult to choose third and subsequent names? I am finding it really difficult!

[MamaG]

I have a DD and a DS
Love both their names

Now, I either think "meh" about names or I can't reach agreemetn with DH (he won't let me have Miles and Amelia the fucker)

I never had this problem with the other two!

[EffiePerine]

I'm struggling on no. 2! Any suggestions on boy's names? Miles is out I think...

[blinkingthreetimes]

I have 5 it does get harder as you have to get names that sort of go with the others iyswim?

My dd's all have quite old traditional names .

Amelia is lovely BTW

[MamaG]

What sort of names do you like? Tradition or exotic (!)

I'm v traditional

[EffiePerine]

traditional

the problem is I have a very picky DH who is stubbornly clinging to the idea that if it's a boy he will be called Jocelyn

[MamaG]

Jocelyn? [horrified]

Please don't inflict Jocelyn on the poor little boy!

James
Sebastian
Christopher
Charlie
Marcus
Lucas
Alexander

?

[EffiePerine]

the only vaguely acceptable name so far is Charles and I don't love it. I can't see myself having a Charles IYSWIM.

Might be a good reason to find out the sex if we can, would save ooh 4 months of arguments

[MamaG]

You could have a Charles, known as Charlie.

[EffiePerine]

James I really like but Jim + our surname is hilarious. Couldn't do it.

I lie Alexander as well but there are a million Alexes round here.

[EffiePerine]

Charlie is better, but still not quite right

I really like Edward, but no. Nor Gilbert (isn't that a nice name? And Gil a good short). Not even Xerxes raised any interest. BAH

[blinkingthreetimes]

Here try this name generator. stick in your surname and it finds names that go with it .

[MamaG]

Edward is DS's middle name

Xander is a nice shortening for Alexander

[MamaG]

Hmm
Thanks for that, but I was offered "Troy Karl" or "Sonia Lacey"

[MamaG]

LOL just got offered "Randy Danny"

[EffiePerine]

that website is suggesting Abner. ABNER.

[blinkingthreetimes]

Ok I just tried it and got a TROY TOBY OMG

[EffiePerine]

and Kendrick which is not an English name I have heard of
Abner Kendrick indeed

[EffiePerine]

another suggestion was Trent. Which is a water company.

[EffiePerine]

I take it all back

it has come up with Rastus Frederick Augustus

that is an inspired choice

I found it hard cos we wanted scottish names but not too scottish as they were growing up in England. They are all boys and we were running out of options. DS3 is due in a few weeks and were set on a name finally

[MamaG]

Chances are you'll probably come to love it hatrick. How long do you have to get used to it?

[EffiePerine]

Can you tell us what it is Hatrick? I seem to remember one of your options was Cyrus, which I like a lot

(Dh, as you may have guessed, does not)

in fact I used to know someone called Xerxes Cyrus Madza which is a very cool name indeed (2 kings and a God)

[EffiePerine]

mazda that is

[MamaG]

I think its Nico (which I really like)
