I am having our third baby (not right this moment though) and am thinking of the following names. If you have any thoughts on the matter, please let me know what you like.

Boys
Christian (nn Kit)
Hector (nn Tor)
Dashiell (nn Dash)
Angus

Edward or Benjamin for middle name.

Girls
Claudia
Valentina (poss nn Nina)

No middle names yet.

Already have a Penelope (Pen, Penny, Penelope) and a Constance (Connie) who are 2 and 1 respectively.

Am not easily offended.

Thanks!

That's totally spooky Digofthestump - I was toying of the idea of putting Juliet down on the list above as I love it, but my DH isn't keen (might overrule anyway though).

"Penelope in particular is totally underused, Penny is lovely."

Grin It's my middle name.

Love your daughters' names, they are great, Penelope in particular is totally underused, Penny is lovely.

Boys
Christian (nn Kit) LOVE
Hector (nn Tor) LOVE, thogh would stick to Hector
Dashiell (nn Dash) like Dash, hate Dashiell
Angus very nice

Edward or Benjamin for middle name. Both lovely

Girls
Claudia Nice, but not as English as your other two names.
Valentina (poss nn Nina) as above ( and really dislike Nina).

I would suggest Juliet as a third DD name.

I like Gus as a nn but DH said he would probably just call him Angus. But Dashiell is DH's favourite boy's name at the moment..

Really don't like Hector - I always think of how it means to boss someone about/tell them off.

Like Angus - why not nn Gus though?

Oh my GOD - EPIC FAIL on the thread title. I always wonder who that moron is who does that AND IT IS ME!

Dashiell, not Dahiel! How did that happen?
