Hello all,

I am pregnant with DC2 and it was confirmed at the 20wk scan that he is definitely a boy.

DH and I have been discussing names and we have whittled it down to a shortlist of 3 names. They are:

Oscar
Ruben
Elijah

Any opinions would be gratefully received - thanks

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Oscar - boring

Elijah - Nice but a bit Meh

Reuben - gorgeous

Oscar - lovely, but quite a lot of them around.
Reuben - OK
Elijah - sounds like a member of a non-Conformist sect.

I am sorry, I do not know why I put a numerical 2 instead of too! I don't do text speak, but clearly it is seeping into my brain!

Ruben or Elijah. My 8 year old is an Elijah (but he goes by Eli), and I still love his name, but I only like it with a soft 'J', and get very annoyed when people pronounce it with a hard 'j' as in jam!
Irrelevant, as he will not be called anything but Eli!
Ruben is lovely 2. It is a family name on my mothers side, but we cannot use it - so I would like you to use it for me please .
Oscar is very dull, but you do have the glorious Oscar Wilde as a rather fabulous namesake. I do not like the name though.
