DH and I have chosen either

Roman Elwyn
Or
Rhodri Francis

for our next bundle of joy (if it is a boy!), due in two weeks.

We both like both names, I prefer Rhodri and DH prefers Roman. I prefer Rhodri as I'm welsh, and would like to preserve some heritage, I also think it's a lovely name and it has always been our 'top of the list name'. DH prefers Roman and he jokes about calling the baby Roman Brutus Maximus :-D

Part of me hopes the baby is a girl as neither of us is backing down?!

What does everyone think??

I like Rhodri Elwyn.

But then my DH is welsh and I've been looking for welsh names for dc2 (supposed to be a girl, unless we get a huge surprise). Dd1 has a welsh name.

depends on what you think of the shortenings. Rod, Rodders etc. Yuck
Roman would be Rom.
