Having another DS.

I love Walter, Stanley, Cillian, Oisin, Julius and Victor.

Quite the mix as you can tell Grin, any suggestions or rating them in order. I feel like I could cry as DS1 was picked out at 16 weeks!

Adrian is an anagram of A drain.

Victor is my favourite from your list.

Not keen on Stanley. Walter is okay.

Sunnydaysstillhere · 24/09/2020 17:10

Please don't call your ds Walter. Wally will be such an unnecessary burden...

emmathedilemma · 24/09/2020 17:08

Stanley, love it!
Not keen on your others.

Twisique · 24/09/2020 16:26

Julius is different and not in a bad way, I prefer it to the others.

Mish85 · 24/09/2020 13:14

Walter, Stanley and Cillian my favs. Good luck welcoming bub into the world 🙂

VenusClapTrap · 24/09/2020 13:08

Oh I like Julius. You don’t hear that very often.

I also Marius and Magnus - and ds’s middle name is Antonius so I guess I like names that end in ‘us’!

@Ojj37 I do like Wesley but think its one of those names are touch and go. I love Leslie for a boy also but not brave enough!

What does everyone think of Adrian?

There are so many names I love Sad

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 24/09/2020 08:27

For me Stanley is another one of those Reggie, Arthur names.

Garcellesaidwhaaat · 24/09/2020 08:26

Julian?

Of your list I like Julius most.

Walter - Breaking Bad.

PlantPotting · 24/09/2020 08:10

How about Sidney ?

Victor is one of my favourites too! Love it x

Plesky · 24/09/2020 05:18

You’ve got loads of time. DS wasn’t finally named until we were on our way to the register office when he was nine weeks,

Ojj37 · 24/09/2020 05:06

I originally thought those were your existing children!

I like Stanley and Walter best. I have no idea but I’m also thinking of Wesley (Wes)

I wouldn’t worry about the namesakes pp referred to.

Torvean32 · 24/09/2020 03:33

Julius will get Julius Ceasar.
Walter Raleigh
Victor Hugho (author ) or even better
Victor and Hugo the cartoon.

I like , Oisin and Cillian.

Enko · 24/09/2020 03:28

Walter is great

orangejuicer · 24/09/2020 03:25

Loved Cillian myself but it didn't work with my surname.

We took a week after my c section to name DS so you've got time.

All the best for your section!

DownThePlath · 24/09/2020 03:10

Julius

Crunched · 24/09/2020 03:00

You have a great shortlist and I think when you see him you will just know what suits. When my DS arrived I knew straightaway he didn't suit what had been top of my list.
Stanley would be my favourite from your choices.
Good luck.
