Sorry if this has been done to death but I'm due to give birth to DS2 in 6 weeks and I still haven't fallen in love with a name. DS is Henry so I thought I might find inspiration from this.

Mine are:

John (DS' middle name) and
Arthur (I like this and think it goes but DH isn't keen)

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wolf (Wuefel sp??) and Sidney.

Thomas Robert
and...
Carl Herman
(He was named Herman Carl but he officially changed it around in his twenties...as though it was somehow better?!)

So, OP, you could have a Henry and a Herman! Grin

DM's dad was Colin Matthew and DF's dad was Cornelius Frederick, known to all as Fred.

My dad is Malcolm Neile (correct spelling - never seen ANYONE else with that spelling. Name creativity not as new as we think!!!)

Mine is Nathaniel (don't know the other one)

DH's are Alan and Brian
