Third dc on the way - we have the girls name, its been in the running each time but we have two ds.
Dh and i rarely agree on names, have in the past resorted to naming various pets with some of his more outlandish suggestions to prevent them being visited on a child.
We have a boys name we both quite like - Skarloey.
Too many pregnancy hormones and sleep deprived nights or does it grow on you?

Katie and Juggling Grin

I'd go for it more if you had a Thomas and Edward already - you could collect the whole shed full Grin

youarekidding · 06/05/2012 19:30

I have a Thomas but would draw the line at Skarloey myself purely because it is solely the made up name of one of the TTTE characters.

Having said that, although I wouldn't use it I quite like it. Smile

Hormones. What are your other DS's called, we might be able to suggest something a little less trainy.

daft!

It is NOT Scottish

jeez Grin

I don't know - I think the "scar" bit would put me off if nothing else.

If you're not put off by all this, then go for it of course !

Hormones - sorry

abbypumpkin · 06/05/2012 19:00

Never heard of it. Is it as it looks? Skar- low-ee? If you both agree on it then use it.

LineRunner · 06/05/2012 18:20

I have decided it that I like it. It would suit a rather lonely Scots lighthouse keeper.

If it's twins, you could call the other one Rheneas.

Hormones.

MadameChinLegs · 06/05/2012 15:31

Only if your current sons are called Marmaduke and Hootenanny.

Skarloey is a train.

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 06/05/2012 15:26

I keep reading this as "is Hormones a good name", obviously it is not, but it is no worse than Skarloey. I take it Skarloey will be breast fed until he or she is 33 and blwd on lentils.

Thumbwitch · 06/05/2012 15:25

oh no need to apologise, Gingerchick! Nor for the Blush - I wasn't posting to disagree with you, more for my own verification that my brain hadn't completely gone to mush :)

lemonaid · 06/05/2012 15:24

Hormones. Extremely hormonal hormones, at that. Use it for a pet.

gingerchick · 06/05/2012 15:23

ok sorry! Blush

Thumbwitch · 06/05/2012 15:22

Skarloey and Rheneas - they have respective twin brothers called Tallylyn and Dolgoch (DEFinitely Welsh names there then, no?)

gingerchick · 06/05/2012 15:17
