Ok, no idea if DC2 is a boy yet but I literally have no idea what we'd call a boy. None. We don't agree on anything. Any ideas on what goes well with Astrid? Girls names also welcome but less critical.

Doesn't have to be scandic no. I know they don't need to go, but I want them to be equally unusual. So Astrid is known but not common. Nothing too English classic or too 'street'.

I'm Thor!
It must be the thaddle...

sorry - very old joke..

sibling names don't need to 'go' - they won't spend their lives together. They just need to sound dissimilar so you get the right one when you yell.

Raff/ Rapheal feel too upper class for me Grin Love Oscar but prefer something less popular. DP is considering Atticus. Which is a major bloody breakthrough! Boys are waaaaay harder than girls!

Axel Rose is a thing of the past! If you like Ottoman you might also like Olle and Ola.

JoinYourPlayfellows · 04/11/2013 20:08

Raff/Raph should be Raphael.

wigglybeezer · 04/11/2013 20:07

I know of an Astrid and Magnus.

I think Raff is a fab boys name and would go well with Astrid. Perhaps Rafferty.

ArabellaBeaumaris · 04/11/2013 19:58

I personally think Thor and Astrid comes across as a bit 'themed' somehow.
