Hi,

We are expecting a boy and we are looking for name suggestions!! Our daughter is Dorothy Claire and we think baby boy’s middle name will be John, last name starts with M, two syllables.

Throw me some suggestions please :) thank you!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

William is a classic also:
Nathaniel
Alexander
Maximillian

Love Dorothy Claire, so pretty.

As for a boys' name, my immediate thought was Nicholas, not sure why! Henry would also be good.

Not Tobias, Tony, Thomas etc unless you want them to end up being known as Toto...
