I have an Alexander, think you need to use the full name with it really, (not against shortened names, I have a Bobby that isn't robert)

Love Rufus.

Hiya mustsleep

We're a bit stuck for boys too.

We both like George. I like Oscar. Also Theo(dore), Ruben, Ethan, Jacob, Isaac but while we love our girls name we are not totally in love with these.

DH's last suggestions was..... Bruce! Yes he was serious. Don't want to upset any Bruce's out there but I found this very amusing (Forsythe?!). He was thinking Willis. So we will also have Diehard as a middle name.

He also suggested Orson... (Awesome?!).hmm.

oh and James is a lovely name, but doesn't go with our surname at all (or at least the nickname doesn't) so it out

DiscoDizzy · 14/05/2008 19:57

Charlie, Alex or Dominic

EffiePerine · 14/05/2008 19:56

If your DH likes Dominic, what about Brendan (to go with the Behan theme ?

Patrick I love and think would work well with our surname (DH, as you may have guessed, doesn't)

EffiePerine · 14/05/2008 19:55

mustsleep, we are in the same position, as DH has vetoed all the boys names I like and is firmly suggesting Jocelyn (wtf?). Girls no prob - no idea which it is as still early days. I can see us still arguing about it at about 8 1/2 months!

Name I like but DH doesn't, the picky sod:

Gabriel
Gilbert
Victor
Wesley (shortened to Wes)
Alexander
Edgar
Edward
John
David
Maximilian
