No worries, Mine are not called those either!

Out of your original list I love Magnus and would twist DH's arm until he see's the light Smile.

Magnus is great

If you like Elliot and Linus what about similar as a middle name

Magnus Eli
Magnus Lionel (great lion!)
Magnus Otis
Magnus Leon

Stalemate! Brilliant and so fitting.

Thankfully Magnus, Linus and Hector are all names we agreed on this morning. And the children too. (C a l u m and S o l). So feel like we're getting somewhere now.

I really like Linus, Hector and Magnus from your names. DH warming to any of them?

BorisJohnsonsHair · 12/01/2014 22:01

Seriously though,

Robin
John
Leon
Lawrence

BorisJohnsonsHair · 12/01/2014 22:00

Please don't call your baby Stalemate, it's a rubbish name.

Lots of the suggestions here are spot on but can't be used for various reasons ie. siblings, cousins, pets, other kids we know etc.

Also we tried Elliott out with his family's accent with a glottal T and it sounds baaad. Smile

Phew, had another chat with DH who has now come round to the idea. The bit he didn't like about Magnus was that he knew somebody with that as a surname, not that he didn't like it as such.

More discussion and we now have the following frontrunners.

Magnus
Hector
Linus
Archie

Clargo55 · 12/01/2014 10:59

Or Tobias with nn Toby?
