And what were the names you liked but didn't use?

Edmund (and yes, he's Ed now to everyone except the family, which he actually likes) Hugh and Guy. Did we have a thing about 'U' I'm now wondering, seeing those names lined up like that?

Samuel
Dd would have been Frederick

Fraser.

Other choices were Euan or Ruaridh (roo-ray), but he just looked like a Fraser.

Hector, Finlay and Louis. Using Arthur, John and Felix as middle names.
Another boy would be Edgar Otto or Otto Edgar.

Nice to see Rory is popular on this thread Smile. I have a Rory - I still absolutely love the name & he's 16 now.

We didn't consider anything else, he was Rory Joseph from the 20 week scan. Also, we'd already used up two other favourite names on DS1 & DS2!

Adam.

He was Joshua until I was a about 23 weeks pregnant.

TobyLerone · 10/12/2013 20:29

Joseph. He's 14 now and it's suited him at every stage of his life so far.

He was going to be Ciaran, but when he was born it just wasn't 'his' name.

Sosyermaw · 10/12/2013 20:23

Niall. We really didn't like anything else and are now struggling to think of another boy's name in case this one's a boy! And I had no idea of the existence of bloody One Direction before I named him.
