I'm almost 31wks and don't know what I am having. Here is my "short" list. DS3 is William Michael. I like fairly classic/formal names but will solid/friendly abbreviated version. Lots of usual suspects have already been ruled out because close family/friends have them.
Samuel (DH not so keen on Sam)
Joseph (like Joe as nn)
Dylan (what could this be shortened to?)
Matthew (sis in law dating one, puts me off as wouldn't be unique name in close family)
Arthur (not sure Art/Arti would be for us)
Stanley (really like not not sure I am brave enough)
Evan
Elliott (probably be middle name as family reasons)
Robert (DH wont have but I really like it)
Rory ( great name but no abbrev version is there?)
Albert (like Bert but not sure brave enough)
Ewan/Euan
Douglas (DH likes this and likes Dougie but can't decide if really like or really don't)
Charlotte
Erin (nice if is born on 17 March as am Irish decent)
Hannah (like fact it is classic and falling in popularity but what abbrev versions)
Evelyn (really love but don't want Eve so think that may rule it out)
Anna/Annabel
Francesca
Ellen (again, classic but not sure what nn would be)
Erica (think I really like this)
Eleanor (is probably our fave, could we have nn of Nell)
Thanks....I really will feel better whwn I can at least get it to a handful each.
