DH and I can only agree on James /Jamie or Hugh if bump is a boy.

Looking for something like James or Hugh...???

Any suggestions would be great??

We have a 3 syllable surname starting with "M"

Thanks HG x

Ignatius - Yeh what...?
Jeremy - Like
Joaquin - Nope
Leonard - Nope
Matthew - DH said No
Nicholas - Might be a middle name
Ptolemy - Errrr what?
Ralph /Rafe - DH said No
Reuben - Any DH said No
Theodore - DH said it's common 'overused'
Tobias - TOBY??
Tristan - I WANT THIS NAME....DH Said No. Can you see my problem...?
Winston - Maybe for the dog.

Aura Not so keen on Jimmy, but love Jamie and James. Really like Archie, but had an ex who's last name was Archibald..so that's out.

Currently trying to think of names of people we know who are in late 20's early 30's as these seem to be really unused names...like Daniel and Simeon.

SpringHeeled 'Infinity dare'...nervous laugh...! Fairfax would be brilliant for dog. Might steel it..Smile

Do like Guy and have suggested it to DH, but he just not playing ball...!

1percent Do you think a longer first name would be okay with a 3 syllable surname?

I've got Lawrence on my list..Edward is my DH and my BF has just had a Sebastian.

GandT- Guy is lovely. Round these parts (SE London) he might get a few Hmm but since OP's in SW, you could get away with it

SpringHeeledJack · 29/11/2010 22:38

Highlandgirl I infinity dare you Grin

...actually wouldn't dream of it IRL. you and Fairfax would have to have nerves of steel. Tho am pondering whether it might be good for a dog Smile

Wow guys thanks....!

SpringHeelded only if you double double dare me...!!! Not sure I'm quite that brave. Quite fancy Hamish....!!!

Monkey My brother is Hugh and he's in his 20's...I do like Hugo but we live in SW London and Hugo seem quite 'common' as in overused now. Maybe I'm wrong...?

Really like Gabriel but DH isn't keen at all and pulled a funny face. (Nothing new in that.. Smile)

Any more??? Come on you I know you all have plenty more tucked up your sleeves?

Thank you ALL. Please keep them coming......!

William sadly doesn't work with our surname!

Really like Kit, so Christian could work.
