Baby No-Name-Yet is due next week....any thoughts on our shortlist would be welcome, as well as suggestions! We have struggled to find names we both like. I'm not a fan of surnames-as-first-names, and DP has rejected most traditional names like George, Henry, etc.
Current shortlist is:
Gabriel
Isaac
Samuel
Sebastian
I love Joseph, and also like Francis and Theo. DP is not bothered. Also love, but can't use, James, Thomas and Alexander.
DP likes Benedict, Bruce and Solomon. I'm less keen...
Middle name is likely to be Arthur, or possibly Dominic.
Surname begins with D, and is Irish/Scottish. It ends in a "y" sound so need to be careful about first names with this ending or it might sound a bit rhyme-y, IYSWIM. We still have to decide whether to double-barrel (in which case surname will begin with C-D) or put my surname in as the second middle name.
DP's first choice would be Gabriel Arthur. Mine would be Joseph Samuel/Samuel Joseph.
Thoughts, please! Any ideas for names we may have overlooked but might both like would be great. Thanks.
