DS 2 due in three weeks. DS one is Oliver. We had a name picked out but have recently had a 4d scan and he doesn't look like the name we picked so I am having a wobble. Any suggestions of traditional names that can be shortened to nice abbreviations. Thanks in advance.

"have recently had a 4d scan and he doesn't look like the name we picked"

Really? Do tiny babies really look like any name?!

How about Alexander (Alex), Dominic (Dom), Quentin (Quinn) or Edward (Ed)?
