Ours is Victor (after Victor Jara) and Glenn (after our favorite neighbor)

Alex for a boy.

Because we have a DD and I'm sure she wouldn't like it.

Perhaps if we have a DS...

I have a friend called Alex though and I don't want him to get too big headed!

Iris and Gilbert.

I know. I know, Gilbert.....but...I loved Anne of Green Gables!

Iris, beautiful flowers, means rainbow - what's not to love?! Dh said it made him think of eyes (not in a good way)

mother Teggy is deeply cute!

Juliet and Camille and Anna and Victoria.... But loved the names I did give too.

Tegwyn - didn't hear it until after DD was already named, she is greatly relieved as she hates it! Grin She would have been Teggy, how cute is that?????

Celeste - I love it but it didn't go with DD1's first name but I chose a very boring mn instead. If I had another daughter (which won't be happening!) I'd use it as first name.

I wanted Elliott and Gabriel. I didn't get them.

Esme, was concerned about the es-mee es-may discussions

PacificDogwood · 08/06/2014 09:33

Anna Katarina Neve - I though it'd be a bit odd for a boy

Spottybra · 08/06/2014 09:31

Eleanor and Lewis as third middle names.

Nocomet · 08/06/2014 09:31

Rebecca (an ex of DHs so veto'd) - just like it
James (I have two DDs) - it's a second name all over both families.

Holfin · 08/06/2014 09:30

Emily as a middle name. I thought it didn't go with DD's first name well enough but with hindsight it is a much nicer name than what we chose

PenguinsHatchedAnEgg · 08/06/2014 09:26

Hermione and Josiah.

Alex. The son I never had.

DD2 is Kari but nobody else than me agrees!
