This one will be DC3 and we're struggling to come up with ideas. DDs 1 and 2 are Helena and Felicity.

So far we've come up with Franklin or Rowena. We also really like Arlo (but DP was bullied by an Arlo at school) and Rosemary but a friend who is due 3mths before me is using Rosie.

We'd like a longer shortlist! The middle names will either be Robert Eric or Margery Jean. We have a common last name that is also a first name!

I like Franklin and am hoping DP will go for it as his home rugby ground has the name in it! He wants Christopher which I only like if we can use Chip as an everyday name.

Wow, great list nappy!

I will! DP is really pushing for Franklin, as he is related to Sir John Franklin who was an arctic explorer, but I like Cedric more and more!

msbuggywinkle I really hope you do use Cedric! I adore it so much, but dh has been saying no to me for years (a real 'no' not one I can get my own way on eventually!) , I would love it if you used it!
Will you come and let us know what you have and what you have called it?

Thank you! We both really like Cedric, Milo and Tobias and I think we've confirmed Rowena as the girls name.

I must admit we had a window cleaner Once who came from 'Arlow and it put me right off Arlo.

Oooh Ivor I think I like that and Ivan.

I like Evania or Evanny for a girl, Evvy for short.
