Suggestions for DS4?

Looking for a bit of inspiration. We already have Danny, Finn and Kit. I am (Northern) Irish but living in London, DH all English (also living in London, handily enough Grin)

Frontrunners are Ruari (me) and Eric (DH). Any more ideas/compromises to through into the mix?

Thanks Grin

That is a pretty compelling argument Beachball Grin

Eric is probably my least favourite boys name. There was one at school who was cruelly nicknamed 'erection' for years. Maybe that will convince your husband!

We have a Phin(eas) and his brothers are Rudy and Gus. Our Gus is Fergus but in hindsight I'd have called him Augustus.

On our lists were,
Woody
Felix
Ernest
Leonard

Thanks for the ideas. Working on persuading DH. DS1 and 3 are onside; DS2 is a bit of a wildcard and veering between Baby Batman and Jason the Egg Hmm

How about Johnny or Mickey?

I like the names you have chosen so far they sound like a cool little gang of brothers.

I would go with Ruari though. Work at persuading your DH.

Cal (on it's own or short for Cathal)

Ruari is nice but I HATE Eric, I don't know what it is about the name it's just awful!

Others that may fit with your other ds (which are great btw)

Rufus
Wilbur

Bowlersarm Danny is Daniel on his birth cert, but has always been Danny, Finn is Finnbarr - we interchange these, though he's determined him name is just Finn Grin and Kit is just Kit (slightly randomly)

Yes, Ruari would be pronounced the same ax Rory. I like Fergus, Gus for short, but DH not so keen. dS2's middle name is Edward so can't really repeat... Thanks for all the suggestions, though. You're just consolidating what I know - Ruari is the one. Now how to persuade DH?

OP posts:
Bowlersarm · 04/11/2013 11:09

I love your DSes names. Are they short for the longer versions?

I don't like Eric at all.

Is Ruari pronounced the same as Rory?
Angus
Edward nn Teddy

(I'm finding suggestions difficult for some strange reason)

I have a Finn, my nephews Franky so I couldn't use it but it is quite hard shouting them in the park I'm always mixing them up!

Franky/Frankie is great - was on the list for DS1 and 2. I just don't think I can have a Finn and a Franky though...

Franky. Smile

Love Rowan, but it wouldn't work with our surname... Plus DS1 has a best friend so called.

How about Rowan?
