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

I'll go first:

Albert John

Oi you lot with the 'Rubens' I'll have you know the correct spelling is Reuben, or alternatively DH and I have arsed it up Blush

Oh, I'm going to indulge in another one: Graham. Is that one popular these days? Somebody somewhere said it was boring or long overused, but I happen to love it.

chocoroo · 06/06/2012 18:36

Another Sebastian here

I met a dear little Digory when DD was I'll. I often wonder how he got on. He would be about 10 now. (tangent)

CornishKK · 06/06/2012 18:19

Digory John

AllRiseForHerVaj · 06/06/2012 18:18

Oisin

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 06/06/2012 18:17

Ooh probably:

Keir Luca

Elliot is my all time favourite name but would need a different surname to avoid it sounding utterly ridiculous.

Also LOVE Kit but also want Kitty for a girl and probably couldn't have both.

msbuggywinkle · 06/06/2012 18:05

Cedric.

We have all girls and DP had vetoed Cedric anyway.

MagdalenaAlec · 06/06/2012 18:03

Full naming rights over DH? I like this idea... :o
DS2 would be François-Xavier or Augustin then.

Francagoestohollywood · 06/06/2012 17:55

Mario. I am in italy, btw

LittleWhiteWolf · 06/06/2012 17:55

Dominic

bibbitybobbityhat · 06/06/2012 17:50

Jonathan

belindarose · 06/06/2012 17:50

Simon Alfred or Timothy Alfred

He's due in two weeks!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 06/06/2012 17:49

A blimmin' miracle!

McKayz · 06/06/2012 17:47

I think I might start a girls thread now. This thread has been very interesting.

DumSpiroSpero · 06/06/2012 17:42

Everlong - even if we did have another and it was a boy I'm fairly certain that DH wouldn't be having any of those names - would probably go for the names in that order which would give him almost the same initials as DD!

CharlieUniformNovemberTango · 06/06/2012 17:41

Nate

Or Seth

Or Sebastian.

Or Matthew

Or Elijah.

Yeah. Poor DS was baby for 5 days.... I'm officially crap at this naming lark.

Is there a girls name thread yet?

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 06/06/2012 17:38

Thank you!
If only I got a chance to us it
Alas no more for us ( sob )

You have excellent taste in names,MrsDevere. I've told you so before, as I love all of your dcs names,but it's true. Shasta is gorgeous.
