Had our 20 week scan today, not only are we lucky enough to be having a healthy baby, but we also found out will be having a boy. Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We already have a (very ecstatic) 7 year old boy - Oscar.

Names we both like:
Felix
Spike
Max

Names I like:
Caspar
Ptolemy (I know Grin Wink)

Names DH likes:
Stanley
Elvis (I know Confused Hmm)

What else could be add to our list? Our surname begins with an N and is one syllable.

Actually, stuff that.

Frank Elvis it is.

LynetteScavo · 11/05/2012 22:17

I'm banning all names for Oscars brother which can be short forms of something else.

What is Oscar's middle name?

What I'm not sure about is that Frank is thought of as short for Francis, but Oscar isn't short for anything.

Alfie and Frank, I get.

Charlie and Frank, OK. But not Oscar and Frank.

The same with Jerry.

I like to over think things.

TheHouseofMirth · 11/05/2012 22:15

Another vote here for Ellis.

Or Ned.

LynetteScavo · 11/05/2012 22:13

Oscar and Frank Elvis.

Congrats! Smile

Cato?

Went to uni with one - always loved the name.

MoonHare · 11/05/2012 22:02

Selwyn, Wyatt, Boyd, Lysander, Rafferty, Jerome.

LynetteScavo · 11/05/2012 22:02

Marco

Boris

Sven

I'm really liking Jarvis today.

KazzaBaz · 11/05/2012 21:59

Felix/Spike/Max all sound like animal names!! Sorry! I do like the suggestions of Ellis or Caleb, to go with Oscar.

We actually have an Elvis where I work and though I do think it's a cool name, the joke at the end of every day "Elvis has left the building" gets old... quickly.
