If you like Conan, what about Conal? I know it doesn't end in n, but it might do.

That's ok Smile. You really didn't have to explain, I was just being nosy.

It's difficult this naming business, especially if you have a very common/very unusual or very long/short surname.

We ruled out a lot of names because of the surname. And ended up with all two syllable names by coincidence.

I quite like Leon, but DS1's name is so wildly popular that I thought it might be nice to go for something a little more unusual. Which is why I recently suggested Conan to DH...but everyone's laughed at that!

Oops - I had an irony bypass recently so I may be a little slow on the uptake.

Basically we have a ridiculously long double-barrelled surname and forrin connections which means we have to avoid too many consonants. We have one older DS (sadly not rhyming!) whose name ends in an -a sound. We need to avoid those ending in an -o sound because of our surname.

So I thought two syllables with an -n ending might work...

I did guess that Obstreperous Wink. But I was wondering why those requirements. I was trying to think of a surname that needed an n before it, or whether you were trying to match a girl's name you already had, or something.

Maybe you already have six girls called Jordan, Lauren, Kaylin, Ashton, Dyllynn (apparently exists Shock) and Robin [hopeful]

Any names jumping out at you OP?

And everyone's rightly laughed at my last two suggestions.

Admittedly we have three months left, but we've got nothing!
