Hamish is already DS1's mn so felt a bit funny nicking it (so we nicked the cat's name instead! Hmm).

Birth was good - at home, two MWs (never normally manage to get 2 here on time (very speedy previous births) and had SIL looking after kids downstairs - so all serene and lovely and DH was with me for all of it (not trying to flag down lost midwives!), so had a bath and a cuppa and got into my own bed for the next couple of days.

I polished off a whole canister of Entonox though!!

OOh sorry, read some more, and now know he is here! Congratulations!! How was the birth?

ThatllDoPig · 13/01/2011 12:55

thereisalight what happened to Hamish?!
My faves from your list are Tom, Tobias, Leo, Fergus and Patrick.
Hope you are feeling ok, and he turns up soon to claim a name!

growing3rdbump · 13/01/2011 12:52

Tobias or Tom are my favourites from the list.

I used to have a goat called Johnny... (after the Peppermint Pig). I'm rambling now.

I knew there was a reason Tobias was in there - my life has been infused so much by Morrissey I don't even notice anymore Grin!!

Actually, I'm quite liking Jesse...

Congratulations!

LOVE how you are slipping in some Moz related names there. Could you not slip a Jesse in front of that Tobias?

I love Angus, Hector and Patrick

It was a bit weird to start with, but we got past it. It can be done! Are you any further forward with your decision?

Hi Light, that's fab! Congratulations! I take it the trial with Angus went well. So pleased for you :)

Right then, for those of you who might still be interested - it looks like he's going to be Angus Edward Patrick (really, DH not having Rusholme in there at all!). We might even register him and everything!!

Hey - now you come to mention it, autodidact... Grin.

He's very cute, though - and he's got the lovely newborn smell - though DD2 (nearly 4) says he smells like bacon Hmm(?!).

OP posts:
autodidact · 04/01/2011 22:29

Congratulations.:) Are you sure he doesn't look like a Rusholme?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 04/01/2011 19:43

All three are lovely names, I especially like Angus.

Hope you are getting some lovely snuggly time with your new DS and you have a few weeks to decide on the name so don't stress too much Smile

We're still pretty unconvinced he looks like any of the names on the list - but have decided that we're going to try out Angus for a week or so - see how it works with the cat situation.

I think the next option might be Tom or Toby.

Ooh - it's so hard!

Thanks for all your opinions and input - it's been greatly appreciated :)

Angus, Fergus, Leo, Tobias.

Congratulations.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/01/2011 09:10

Congratulations from me too. Hope you've managed to get a bit more sleep.

Have you decided on a name yet?

treecloud · 02/01/2011 22:55

Congratulations Light! Great news. If you don't think you can go for Angus, Fergus is just fab. :) Please let us all know what you've decided. Best wishes to you all.

GrumbleBee · 02/01/2011 21:49

Congratulations!

And Fergus -

"For Fergus rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars."

Ahem.
As you were.
