Having finally settled on a name for DD we've just found out its a shy baby and is actually a DS Blush

I have a Fox and an Atticus already.

An O name sounds quite good, still quite taken by raife (spelling problems aside 🤔)

Is oliver too "normal" for the other names?

At 20 weeks we were told we were having a girl, but he had his legs crossed quite tightly and it was just in our scan this week we saw him in all his glory, I was like whaaaaaaat 😳

Is there a type of name particular to London? Is it the kind of Casper etc? We live in Scotland, but can't see DH going for an Angus or a Hamish which when I suggested he pronounced ham-ish 😂

A LOT of Londony names being suggested. 😬

Mrs5boys · 16/03/2017 09:53

Fox and atticus are seriously cool names 👌🏼👍🏻

Mrs5boys · 16/03/2017 09:52

Sorry is it just me that is wondering how come you thought you was having a girl but now it's a boy ,,, did they get it wrong at the scan or you just had a feeling it was a girl ? 😬😬😬😬 #nosey 😆

meettherussians · 16/03/2017 09:45

Caspar?

MerryMarigold · 16/03/2017 09:37

Orson is great. Also love Otis wish I'd had the courage to use it.

meettherussians · 16/03/2017 09:33

Love your sons names OP. First thought was definitely an "o" name, Love Orson too or something with O ending- Milo perhaps? Congrats on 3 lovely boys, you'll be well taken care off forever!

Twoevils · 16/03/2017 09:01

I know a Raife. Cute name.

Gummibears · 16/03/2017 08:58

Love Atticus and Fox! How about

Quentin
Orson
Magnus

PatriciaHolm · 15/03/2017 23:31

I'm assuming he's a Hellsing fan...

Tobias? Nate/Nathaniel?

CakeRattleandRoll · 15/03/2017 23:27

Orson
Jarvis
Cosmo
Tycho
Erasmus
Troy

SchnitzelVonCrumb · 15/03/2017 21:42

I love Rafe.

In New Zealand Ralph is only ever pronounced " Ralf" hence I would always spell Rafe... but I wouldn't in the UK

strawberrypenguin · 15/03/2017 21:38

How about Rufus?

Alucard is definitely a joke, I think he just likes to keep my blood pressure up!

I'm quite taken by rafe/raef/raphe also caleb is a nice sweet name.

Our Atticus often gets Atti so we will probably stay away from A names

OP posts:
Rockaby · 15/03/2017 18:21

Just realised Attie is probably a bit too much like Atticus!

LouKout · 15/03/2017 18:07

Alucard sounds like a medicine.

Rockaby · 15/03/2017 18:04

I know of a little Athelstan. They shorten it to Attie.

ThoraGruntwhistle · 15/03/2017 17:56

Alucard? I really hope he's trying to be funny Confused
