I LOVE the name of my ds, but he has it. I don't like any other. Sad

This child is going to be nameless.......

We were still arguing about DS1's name on the way to the registrar's office! Then we had another boy ...

babyincubator · 05/02/2012 17:45

You get my full sympathies; boys names are so darn tricky. In fact, I think we might pinch the middle name of DS1 and give it as a first name to DS2. But, that feels really, really lame!

Scott and Todd both work in almost every language. and they are at least inoffensive! Todd is growing on me by the minute! but if the other one is Ross, hen Ross and Todd begins to sound unimaginative. How can you NOT like Erik? works in most European languages and has a hint of the adventurer about it! Erik the Viking!!

i've got my 2 names... rixon and lucian, you can use one of them if they're any good lol :P

5inthebed · 04/02/2012 21:49

Aww congratulations! I had no idea.

silverfrog · 04/02/2012 21:04

oh, snap, Starlight (well, without having a ds already!). at least I've got a little longer than you to figure it out.

and I've used all the girls names I like (dds have 3 each, also have a step daughter).

and it has to work in at least 2 other languages, and go with a foreign surname.

I am struggling, to say the least.

will browse the thread for inspiration.

:

Dominic
John
erm, can't think of any others right now!

PosieParker · 04/02/2012 19:40

If I had a little boy tomorrow he would be Humphrey and DS3 was nearly called Oslo.

Kveta · 04/02/2012 19:38

every Ross I know has a brother called Craig, if that helps?

Ah ok Grin One of my favourite names, but DH has a cousin called that, so it was a no go.

Nathan
Dexter
Hamish
Noah
Matthew
Luke

Give him the same name is DS1

Give him a girls name

Just call him 'Junior' or by his surname until he's old enough to choose him own name

Call him Starlight Mckenzie Surname - That is a great name

Maybe it isn't that I hate them, more that I can't see HIM iyswim!

And we've been through all those and none strike me as right (sorry).

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 04/02/2012 18:36

No-one's going to suggest their own DC for fear you'll say you hate it are they? Grin

Right, wide variety...

William
Dylan
Isaac
Ethan
Jayden
Jonathan
Andrew
James
Noah
Fred

Which do you hate the least? That'll give us a starting point!

ScoutJemAndBoo · 04/02/2012 18:35

Well, what about Chandler? Grin

sticking with Friends you could have Joey, or Paul or Ben, all other characters.

Or let me pick the name for you.
