We have settled on lots of names and then changed our minds.
Time is running out.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Think the OP might be looking for human names rather than dog names.

My former boss was a Rex, I'm fairly certain he wasn't a dog.

Would be ideally something beginning with Y or Z. I already have A (Ds2) and K (dd4) so want the end of the alphabet lol.
Zakariya or Yunus for example

No more children for me but Sebastian was on our shortlist for a boy when we had our DD. I also like the name Sidney.

Painter?? Is that a typo?

Rex

Think the OP might be looking for human names rather than dog names.

Teddy or Harry. Or more probably Edward NN Teddy.

The names that I would have said a few years when it was possible that I would have had to name a baby have become politically charged- they were Kier and Isaac. So now probably Michael or Joseph. Or possibly Zachary.

How is Isaac politically charged??

Greenbirdblue · 21/09/2024 11:17

Jonas or Austin

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 21/09/2024 11:13

Wren Franklin
Wren Alexander
Alexander Wren
Fintan Wren

I've got wren on the brain. But it would only suit my surname, not DHs. I think it's cute, quite unique, and I love the bird. It's not too feminine sounding but could be used for a girl too I think.
