Assuming your had full naming rights and didn't care what people thought.

I'll go first:

Albert John

kickingKcurlyC · 08/07/2012 20:48

Rollo.

BrittaPerry · 08/07/2012 02:53

Actually, Fabian could be good... Or Karl :-)

BrittaPerry · 08/07/2012 02:51

William David Peter.

Billy for short.

Although that would have been dd2s name (replace Peter with Fredrick for dd1 as bil wasn't even I'll, never mind dead, when she was born) so she has Petra in her name, so I dunno. Probs o back to Fred.

David Thomas though as it would be a medical miracle it should really be Isaac Wink

Tigertots · 07/07/2012 23:41

I love Orin today.
DS was Fabian during pregnancy but changed to Dexter when born I am a bit fickle with names.

Roman Dashiell

I am still bitter at the vetoing of this 16 years later. Don't even mention the girls names that DH banned.

ICutMyFootOnOccamsRazor · 28/06/2012 00:42

Lysander or Theodore

KenHomsDadsWoksDead · 28/06/2012 00:39

William Lucas

StrandedinStLucia · 27/06/2012 21:18

emmyloo2 great name choice... I had a baby boy and he is Albert Jack! Pretty close!

FreakoidOrganisoid · 25/06/2012 15:48

Nathaniel
Raphael or
Elijah

Stellan · 25/06/2012 15:42

I love some of the answers on this thread!

Gatsby, Isaac, Griffin, Fraser, Dashiell, Reuben, Ivo - I think these are all great and I wouldn't have thought of most of them before reading this thread.

I'm not sure what I'd go with, really, but the frontrunners (today!) are:
Gabriel
Joseph
Nathaniel
Noah

Right now I'd probably go with something like Nathaniel Joseph or Nathaniel Emrys.
