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?

Hark - you could still use Leo. I have a friend called Leonora but everyone calls her Leo.

Tad sounds like 'a bit' as in a 'I'm a tad tired tonight.'
