It's still early days so we've got plenty of time to decide but I'd like your opinions on our boys list for DC2 please. If the child turns out to be male I fear we may never agree on a name. This is a list of names we almost agree on:

Lawrence - Lawry for short
Seth
Evan
Eric

Thanks so much in advance for your help

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

They are all great but my personal favourite is Eric.

Eric the Half a Bee.

DramaAlpaca · 16/01/2014 16:23

Lawrence or Evan are both OK.

To me Eric is very old fashioned.

I really dislike Seth. Sorry!

They work well as siblings so you could save one for a siblibg, or use both as first and middle name.

I've never heard of Eric being slang for a condom purple, that's made me giggle. Lawrence is my favourite and Seth is DH's favourite. DH is concerned that Lawrence sounds to 'posh' and pretentious.

In order,
Seth,
Evan,
Laurie (not keen on Laurence)

Eric, I know too many dogs called Eric!

Evan or Lawrence.

Don't like Eric but possibly because it was slang for a condom when I was at school

MyNameIsKenAdams · 16/01/2014 16:11

Id spell it Laurie though.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 16/01/2014 16:11

Lawrence is my favourite and Id have it for a son if it didnt sound too twee ext to dds name (cant have a DD and a DS named for Little Women characters!)

Love Seth.

Dont like Eric (reminds me of the Eric off Guess Who boardgame), and dont like Evan.
