I've just POAS and found I'm expecting DC3. In total shock. So, I figure I'll start a baby name thread! :o

We already have Samuel (7) and Margaret (almost 16 months) mostly called Sam and Maggie, so I sort of would like to continue the formal name with nickname trend.

Also I am sure it is a boy. :o

Some names I like and were on our shortlist for the others were Jack (doesn't really go with our surname, but would if I went for Jackson), William called Will, and Alexander called Alec. We loved Charles/Charlie but a close friend is using that. Also briefly considered were Nathaniel/Nate and Benjamin/Ben.

Our surname is the same as a certain "journalist" who thinks she's gorgeous, married to a Frenchman? Wink

For girls I like Phoebe, which doesn't fit with the nn thing, or Phillipa/Pippa, which does.
