So we found out this morning we're having our third boy. I'm so pleased he's gorgeous and healthy although I must have wanted a girl a little more than I had thought... still processing how I feel.

So this leads me to names!

We already have a Felix and a Theodore and I have the following list:

Augustin (Gus)
Reuben
Christopher (Kit)
Otto (can I have an Otto and a Theo though?)

These are all fabulous with the last name, which is notoriously difficult to work with.

I also really love Ari but the last name ends in the ee sound and I'm not sure about a name that sounds like Ari Luckee.

Do you have more suggestions for me?

I can't have: Charlie, Oscar, John, Hugo, Sebastian, Julian, Christian, Julius or Luca.

I think Augustin goes best with your others.

Oh, and congrats on your little boy :)

MamaMary · 22/09/2012 11:30

Gosh, your names are very posh!

I like Reuben

Congrats! You'll soon get your head around it and not want to change a thing once he is here!
I love your sons' names. One is my son's name with a middle name from your list and I would have had Felix if we had had another boy. You have great taste!
I really like your list and don't really see why you can't have Otto.

Other names i had on my list (I'm trying hard to remember!)
Benedict ( loved Ned until I googled it and found it was a very derogatory term in Scotland. Oops!)
Alistair
Laurence (Laurie)
Willfred
Xavier

Congratulations!

I have a friend with a Theo and a Otis. Otherwise, how about Alban, Kester, Edgar?

CastielsTrenchcoat · 22/09/2012 07:44

Love Reuben.

BardOfBarking · 22/09/2012 07:43

Love Kit, Gus and Reuben. Don't like Otto.
How about
Seth
Jude
Gabe
Ted

What about just August? Love them all but you pretty much have our list there apart from Reuben.

Tillyscoutsmum · 22/09/2012 06:56

I love Gus. DS is Fergus because, although I like Augustus, it is a little bit posh sounding for our tastes Smile

I also like Reuben. Otto is a bit much with Theo imho and whilst Kit is lovely, I do find Christopher a bit traditional/dull compared to your other names.

Other suggestions. Gabriel. Nathaniel. Barnaby. Dominic. Dexter. Noah

nooka · 22/09/2012 06:34

I like Reuben and Christopher best from your list (not so keen on Augustin, and I think Otto and Theo might be a bit much).

Sounds like you like generally more unusual but still traditional names

How about Timothy, Patrick, Richard, David, Nicholas, Gabriel, Matthew, Quentin, Laurence, Edmond?

ben5 · 22/09/2012 06:11

ruben or christopher but wouldn't shorten it to kit.
