We've just found out we are having a boy Smile!

We have narrowed it down to one of these three names, (we have been through sooooo many names and these are the only three we can agree on, so it probably isn't worth asking for any more suggestions ATM);

Vincent
Christopher (Kit at home, until he's old enough to choose a nickname/ shortening)
Peter

Middle name will be Wilfred, Alfred or Albert. Surname is a common, two syllable name.

We already have a DD, named Emma.

Christopher Albert, or Christopher Alfred, is lovely. Peter would be my second choice, not keen on Vincent personally.

Vincent (Vinnie / Vince) is my favourite, but I also have a soft spot for Peter. Christopher too, it's just the Chris thing...

Always loved Vincent, though be prepared for it to be shortened to Vince!

Love Vincent and 'Vinnie' is a cute nickname

Sorry - Hammer film fan here. Vincent is a great name though.

I'll suggest them to DH as middle names along with Van Gogh and Walken Grin!

I think Christopher is in the lead. That's DH's favourite too, but neither of us are mad about Chris as a shortening; we know too many! I think these days he'll be more likely to get Kit anyway, but I suppose he'd have options when he got older.

Vincent - brilliant name, by far the best of the 3.
