name for DS2 to go with Dylan

28 replies

Looking for a name for DS2 due v soon. DS1 is Dylan Hugo (due to welsh connections and honouring grandparent), would like something that 'goes' and struggling to decide.

Options at top of list so far are:
Milo (Miles)
Archie (but not keen on Archibald, so not sure)
Charlie (but not keen on Charles, do you see a theme!)
Gus (Magnus, have family scandanavian connection as well).

Think we have the second name sorted, Ivan, after another grandparent, but scope to change that if needed.

Feeling thoroughly confused... And starting to worry we are running out of time. Thoughts, ideas appreciated.

Magnus out of your list. I like Miles as well, though I'm not so keen on Milo. But best of all would be calling him Ivan as his first name. Could you do that?

Dylan and Miles

I'm not suggesting you change your DS1's name or that you call him Hugo. Dylan is a popular name and people like it. I was just giving my opinion, which you didn't ask for, but I love the name Hugo (Huw is lovely but only if you're Welsh, otherwise use Hugh, which I also like - irrelevant as they have already used Hugo).

Milo is ok but seems a bit trendy and it makes me think of mealy. Miles sounds more classic.

Archie - I seem to know lots of dogs called Archie and it makes me think of an Emmerdale character, probably from when it was still called Emmerdale Farm.

Glad I made you chuckle. Very best of luck with the birth.

Love Milo and Gus.

MikeUniformMike has had a nightmare there.

OP, Dylan was on our list, as was Milo (I also like Miles). So that would be my choice.

I really don't like Archie or Charlie (I have something against -ie names).

I like Gus and Magnus. Not sure one leads so naturally into the other, though. If I called my son a name as cool as Magnus, I think I'd just want to keep using the full name!

Thanks for all the responses so far....

Appreciate you kicking the thread off Mike, but we're not planning to change DS1's name by deedpoll, it did make me and my Welsh DH chuckle though!

Still lots to think about... But soo useful to have other opinions to add to the mix.
