These are the only three names I like for DS2. I think at the minute, Rory is fave, but I would welcome other suggestions, or thoughts. I really like Max but it would sound totally ridiculous with out surname What do you think?

Rory is ok. I prefer Joel though,followed by Theo.

I actually really dislike theodore,love Theo though.

Rory

THere are lots of Theos and even though I used to love it, I've gone off it a bit. O names seem over now, as a trend anyway. I still like Hugo and Leo though.

Joel I quite like. It sounds a bit like a girl's name though. I know it's not btw, but I still couldn't use it. Just personal choice. I feel the same about Noah.

Oh great - glad people seem to like Rory, I was worried people would snigger a bit. Agree that Rory James sounds lovely. Now just to work on DH....

I really really like Rory. Think James would sound good with it. The others are OK but always think Theo sounds abit of a weak name and Joel just reminds me of Billy Joel.

I think Rory is lovely.

Rory William
Rory Stewart
Rory Theodore
Joel Anthony
Joel David
Joel Frederick

I prefer Theodore to Theo; it feels more complete.

I have a Rory. It's a brilliant name! Grin

Oh - and any middle name suggestions to go with them? With DS1 it was easy as he had his grandfather's middle name (Thomas). Thanks!
