Righto! I'm not due until bonfire night, but my OH isn't interested in talking about names atm (the lure of the xbox is too strong!) so I thought I'd run my ideas past you here. The only things I have to guide me are that he likes traditional names (luckily so do I) and that he'd like it if we could pay homage to his roots by working a Danish name into the middle names somehow. So any Scandinavian names you can suggest will be gratefully listened to! His father's name is Rasmus (which my mum weirdly likes!) so please save my poor child from that appalling fate!
Here's my list of first names:
Adelaide
Claudia
Eve
Constance
Prudence
Penelope
Tabitha
Beatrice
Esther
Harriet
Frederick
Henry
Edward
Edmund
Reuben
Seth (no our surname isn't Starkadder!)
Theodore (Theo)
Matthias
Alexander
Ptolemy
So far on the Danish names front we could reuse Axel, which is my husband's second middle name, or Jorgen (pronounced Yohan), but goodness knows what you could do for a girl. I'd be happy with Klaus, but apparently in Denmark there's a family rift with an Uncle Klaus on the other side. Ho hum!
