Still going on my daily mind changing. i swear DH is going to be driven mad if I talk about it anymore to him so I have to rely on the wisdom of you lot!!

Ok, think i've narrowed it down to these 3. Be as kind/mean as you like by the way - i appreciate the honesty.

  1. Thomas Arthur (named after both grandfathers so bit of family history)

  2. Joseph Isaac (bit old testament??)

  3. Rory Alexander (Rory bit of a mouthful?)

    Still got Sebastian David on list aswell but slipping as DH is going off it by the day.

3, then 1. To me, Joseph and Isaac look like they stem from the same thing (Iosif/Isac).

I have a Rory, so it's 3 for me. (Not so keen on Alexander though - think Rory James sounds nicer imo). Ds1 has middle names after family members.

Also, every Rory I've known, including ds1 is extremely placid and easy to get along with.

The other names nice too though.

Ooh, Joseph Alexander is gorgeous. So's Thomas Alexander. Have always loved the name Sebastian but my dh wasn't keen either.

Watch out for Rory as lots of kids have pwoblems with their Rs don't they? If you can handle him introducing himself as Worwy for first few years then go for it - might be endearing...

I agree Aero - knew a Rory many moons ago at primary school and he was very kind hearted and friends with everyone.

It depends what your surname is.

Beware of precarious surnames beginning with H if you go for no. 2!

I really like Joseph Alexander and Thomas Arthur

I think if this was me I'd give the grandfathers' names as middle names - and go for Isaac which is the most unusual and stylish of your name choices on the list IMO

Isaac Thomas Arthur - very distinguished!

Funny you should mention Rorys being sweet-natured. I only know one but he is a really happy, smiling baby! Considering DS1 was incredibly difficult as a young baby i could do with a bit of luck on my side!!

i wonder if there is anything in it that names can influence your temperament?
