We’re expecting DC2 in October, we already have a little boy called Travis. We have decided if it’s a girl she will be called Nancy. For a boy we both really love Ivan, just wondering others opinions on it?.

There is an actress Nancy Travis
I’ve never heard of her, but thank you for letting us know :)

Nice name. DS has a teenage friend called Ivan, but it's not too popular.

Like it, not common and a strong name.

Thank you! Surname starts with a D, so nothing to worry about with that!

Check how it goes with your surname. Might sound odd with an N surname or a vowel surname. Ivan Neal sounds like I've an eel.

Otherwise, fine.

@toastofthetown I’m not too bothered as we don’t have a DD yet, just DS. So depending on what this baby is we’ll either have a Travis and Nancy or Travis and Ivan.

I like Ivan. Not sure it bothers you but two of David Cameron's children are Ivan and Nancy so maybe something to bear in mind.

I love it. Great choice.
