Help! C- section planned for Tuesday, got a shortlist but can't make the final decision! We have 2 x ds already, Luc & Jacques. Expecting ds3. Shortlist is Pascal, Mathis (Matisse), Joel, Didier. Or something else?... Help please

Another vote for Mathis or Joel. My first boyfriend was Xavier, I think that's a fab name as well. Good luck for Tuesday, how exciting :)

Love Mathis.
I like Rene as a boy's name (after Descartes as I studied philosophy and love his work) but I don't know if it's become too much of a girl's name these days...

Please, NOT Didier!
There are lots of Mathis at the moment in France. Do you like Mathieu (it won't date as much)?
I still think Pascal goes well with your DS's names.

Are you French? Or planning to live in France? Mathis is nice but extremely common these days in France (if it matters to you - it seems that one baby boy out of two is called Mathis).
I am afraid that I can't imagine anybody under 40 called Didier (and a few years ago there was a movie about a dog called Didier, not memorable, but still).
Joel and Pascal are not trendy but nice...
What about Louis, Xavier, Antoine ? All classic, and they go very well with Luc and Jacques.

Mathis is very nice! Joel would be next choice.
