Expecting dc3 in march, don't know the sex, though I think it will be a boy...
Dhs cousin is called Tad (Thaddeus) I just love this name and think it will go fab with our other dcs,, but dh won't let me use it...so I'm after names like this,, but not this?
Sounds impossible?

My favourite Catalan name:

Roc

Meaning... erm... rock Grin
DS was this < > close to being a Roc, but DH was a chicken.

Todd not "at odd!"

TheZeeTeam · 15/12/2013 23:48

The first thing I thought of, just by the title, was Todd.

However, I'm forever in love with at odd after he died on the road as Phoebe decided to keep their baby. If you're 10years younger than me, there is every chance this is going over your head...
