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

I'll go first:

Albert John

or Thorkell if I didn't care that it would be ridiculous with our surname

Yes it is, in French. Vetoed by DH because he thinks it sounds "girly" thinks I am making a second Scottish warrior
Trouble is that the British equivalent Augustus sounds really weird and trying vvv hard in France, so it is out too.

Quentin or Reuben

Isn't Augustine the female version of Augustin?

MabliD · 07/06/2012 11:35

Silas Caledfryn.

Robert Arthur Caledfryn.

Eli James.

I might actually get away with one of these!

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 07/06/2012 11:20

I have a BIL Dorian and a nephew Cyrus.
I am liking Rothko

TheRealMrsHannigan · 07/06/2012 10:14

Cass.

That's the name we have decided on if we ever has a DS.

Bumpsadaisie · 07/06/2012 10:09

William Augustine

Rothko

Felix Michael :)

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 07/06/2012 09:09

I worked with a Cyrus and a Dorian once, hats off to their parents.

Franklin!

Noah, Seth or Edward.

But I don't have full naming rights and I'm constrained by geography, so DS2 when he comes in a few months will in all probability be called Matthias.

GoodPhariseeofDerby · 06/06/2012 23:59

Cyrus Admiel Nelson. I seriously love it.

applepieinthesky · 06/06/2012 23:53

I think Stanley is due a revival. It's also my late Grandad's name Smile

Selks · 06/06/2012 23:42

I've always fancied using Stanley, my Granddads name. But is it one of those trendy names these days?

Springforward · 06/06/2012 23:41

Isaac, I think - if DH chose (I chose DS' name from our joint shortlist of, er, two names just after he was born, so would be DH's go this time).

Hope88 · 06/06/2012 23:35

Elliot

LostInWales · 06/06/2012 23:34

Huw Teifion for me. Probably the only time I've fancied another child was when I realised I'd forgotten how much I loved the name Huw. DH says Steel Rod, I am Blush on his behalf.

Janoschi · 06/06/2012 23:27

Despite the huge amount of flak from MNetters, I'd pick:

Manfred nn Manny

or

Cooper nn Coop

LynetteScavo · 06/06/2012 22:24

Hamish Hugo Edward.

But I might change my mind the day after.
