We now just have to work out what to call him when he arrives. I have no idea. We like Orson, Louis, Bert, Monty.

DH likes Bjorn and Wolf...

Any help would be appreciated

Is Monty going to be Montague?

itssquidstella · 02/04/2018 14:51

I love Ivo.

DarkRoomDarren · 02/04/2018 14:47

Oh and from your most recent list, I like Monty best.

AnyaMoondial · 02/04/2018 14:40

Monty is my favourite of the final four. Not sure about Ivo but absolutely love Ivan.

PixieN · 02/04/2018 14:36

I really like Oscar & Edward - Eddie or Ted for nicknames

ButterflyOfFreedom · 02/04/2018 14:31

Louis or Ivo from your shortened short list!

Other suggestions (sorry for any repeats):
Jasper
Casper
Dexter
Owen
Rowan
Quentin
Theodore
Patrick
Cormac
Barnby
Marcus
Xander
Xavier
Tobias
Amos
Ambrose
Cornelius
Harrison

Magpie24 · 02/04/2018 14:30

Do you have French heritage/connections? I love your names. I think Louis goes really well with your DC's names.

DarkRoomDarren · 02/04/2018 14:26

Gabriel or Rowan

thegreylady · 02/04/2018 14:11

The Ralph I know has a brother named Hugh.

thegreylady · 02/04/2018 14:10

Ivo is my favourite of your 4 then Louis, Monty is nice too. I couldn’t spell Rafe like that it would have to be Ralph.

MinaPaws · 02/04/2018 14:08

Rafael (Rafe or Raffie)
Nathaniel (Nate or Nat)
Wulfric (Wolf)

thegreylady · 02/04/2018 14:04

Dominic
Guy
Benedict
Max
Theo(dore)

PhuntSox · 02/04/2018 12:59

Wolfric

EllenJanethickerknickers · 02/04/2018 12:44

Of your 4, Ivo, then Louis. Rafe is an odd one, normal spelling is Ralph but then pronunciation is dodgy.

Monty the dog with Felix the cat might be a bit too much...

Ikeameatballs · 02/04/2018 12:38

I like Monty best from your shortlist though Ivo and Rafe are nice too.

CornforthWhite · 02/04/2018 12:33

Giles?

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 02/04/2018 12:31

Reuben?
George?
Jacob?
Ezra?
Frank?
Charlie?

Greenhouseonthehill · 02/04/2018 12:28

Ivo

Redpramlady · 02/04/2018 12:27

My friends little boy is called rafe
I love it ! Strong sounding and suits him well. Think the pilot in pearl harbour film was rafe!

BroomstickOfLove · 02/04/2018 12:20

I like Ivo best, but that's probably because I know a very lovely young Ivo. Rafe and Louis are both nice. I'm not so keen on Monty as a stand-alone name.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 02/04/2018 12:12

Love Louis !
Leo/n
Rufus
Barnaby

We're still no nearer deciding on a name and our little one is due at the end of the month.
Our shortlist is slightly shorter, we've now got:

Rafe (the one name we both like, however all the people I tried it out with have mentioned it sounding like rape, we also have a short surname so they sound a little bit odd together).
Monty (I'm a bit unsure though as we've had a few cat comments about Felix already)
Louis (both not too sure on this one)
Ivo (I love this)

What do others think of Rafe? We're not keen on Raphael or Rafferty but like Rafa.
Which do you prefer from the final four?
