6 days to go - think this is now ' the one' we've finally settled on . What do you reckon ? And any preference on the middle names :
Idris Ezra Thomas .. ( then surname )
Idris Arlo Thomas ...
Idris Jack Thomas ...
( jack and thomas are family names we'd like to possibly carry through)
Thanks all !

Don't love Idris but don't massively dislike it either. I actually quite like all three combinations although in reality I think very few people ever use their middle names so they're kind of irrelevant. Probably my favourite combo is Idris Ezra Thomas but if Jack is a family name I'd favour that.

Love Idris! As it's also the name of a Muslim prophet (so will travel well and widely), I'd avoid Ezra (also fab - save it, as suggested!) as the overall effect is very religious (unless that's what you are aiming for). I couldn't chose between Jack and Arlo. Good luck!

Hapus gyda Jack yma!

Idris Arlo Thomas is AMAZING! Keep Ezra in case you have another ds Wink

There is a Welsh connection yes :) surname is short, sharp 1 syllable. Lots of 'Jack' fans so far . We are getting somewhere ! Thanks

Am I right in thinking there's a Welsh connection? If so I like Idris Jack please :)

Not sure what your surname is but I prefer Thomas in the middle.

Love Idris!
