It took us 5 weeks and 6 days to choose a name for DS1 (and even then, I was wobbling) but now DS2 has come along and I'd like to name him a bit quicker! ignores the fact that he's 3 weeks old already
Names so far:
Oscar - love this but we know lots of Oscars already and it's very popular
Theo - I can't reconcile myself (stupidly I know!) to giving him a shortened version of a name, and I'm not a fan of Theodore
Caspian - current favorite, but when I've been subtly sounding it out with a few family members, they've thought it was pretty pretentious and on par with Tarquin
Caspar
Zacariah - not keen on Zac though
Lysander
Silas
And at this point, Baby. It's unique, suits him and it means I don't have to bloody think of another name!
Any suggestions gratefully received or just validation that Caspian is a perfectly acceptable name

Brother for Tristan?

I love Barnaby, Bartholemew, Elias and Gabriel but DP vetoed them. Dylan was on the list too but we know a few Dylans so decided against it.
It's such a responsibility, and in my sleep deprived state I'm not trusting my judgement. I spent a good few days wondering about "Oswald" - didn't particularly like the name but thought it sounded good with Tristan until DP pointed out we'd have a Tristan and Oswald which isn't a million miles away from Tristan and Isolde!
