DC2 is due in July and DH flatly refuses to discuss names in any depth until nearer the time so thought I'd see what MN thinks of my shortlist...

We have a DS, Oscar, and our surname begins with an R and is 3 syllables if that helps?!

Any suggestions of other similarish names that would go well with the chosen middle names welcome.

Boys:

James (current favourite)
Jacob
Harry
Henry
Benjamin (DH not sure about this one)

Middle name will be Douglas after my beloved Grandad.

Girls:

Lucy (current favourite)
Elizabeth (nn Libby)
Hester (nn Hetty)
Rose/Rosie

Middle name will be Eva after DH's lovely Grandma.

Thanks :)

Thanks for thoughts so far :)

seeker - I know Harry is technically a derivative of Henry, but I think it pretty much stands up as a name in its own right these days - I've never understood how Harry could be short for Henry anyway when it's the same number of syllables

Eva Rose is beautiful but I just don't want Eva as a first name. I do know what you mean though about none of the names really going very well with Eva - but it's really important to DH to have his Grandma's name as the middle name if the baby is a girl (that much he has deigned to discuss).

James and Hester.

You do know, don;t you that Henry and Harry are the same name?

Not sure that any of your girl's names go with Eva, though - sorry. Could you have Eva as a first name? Eva Rose?
