Those with 3 and more DC - did you find it really difficult to choose third and subsequent names? I am finding it really difficult!

I have a DD and a DS
Love both their names

Now, I either think "meh" about names or I can't reach agreemetn with DH (he won't let me have Miles and Amelia the fucker)

I never had this problem with the other two!

oh and for 2 moiddle names - Alpha Dave Darren

classy

Enid · 16/05/2008 12:39

it suggested Gilbert, Claude and Quentin for boys names for me

SixSpotBurnet · 16/05/2008 12:37

DS3's name has however been labelled - guess what - chav by the Court of Mumsnet before. Not that I give a flying one, may I hasten to add.

Magnus was the name of dd1's imaginary older brother, when we had just one child and didn't want to be PFB-ish, we used to pretend she had an older brother Magnus with strong needs and opinions. I quite missed Magnus when we moved on from needing him.

Fennel · 16/05/2008 12:36

I did use up my 3rd favourite girl's name on dd2's middle name, reasoning we were likely not to have a 3rd child and then only 50% chance of a girl. And then we had dd3. But there are loads of names we liked so it wasn't a problem. But in retrospect I would have maybe "saved" it.

we are toying with Maximilian as well

I can think of one very cool Mumsnetter with a Magnus.

SixSpotBurnet · 16/05/2008 12:34

For DS3 we used the name we liked best but hadn't been brave enough to use on the earlier DSs.

MrsJohnCusack · 16/05/2008 12:33

ROFL at the name generator

DH has suggested Magnus for a boy - am tempted...

Enid · 16/05/2008 10:41

If I had a fourth child and it was a boy I would call him Boris

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 16/05/2008 10:33

on that basis mine are called spam, girly, bobo and kwoojie lol

Enid · 16/05/2008 10:28

anyway my girls are actually called

Beanie
Biff
and
Pix

which is what i call them all the time

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 16/05/2008 10:26

that's actualy very true Enid- especially with the more unusual names.

Enid · 16/05/2008 10:26

mamag

dh chose all three girls names

because I really dont care much

its like dogs

once you have had them for a bit their name always suits them

Enid · 16/05/2008 10:25

I didnt exactly start a thread to slate ezra per se

it was the return of very old testament names I was musing

PeachyHas4BoysAndLovesIt · 16/05/2008 10:23

Ezra is a gorgeous name, and surely the sort of person who would statrt a nasty thread is exactly the sort of person whose opinion doesn't count?

FWIW, Dad likes ds1's name (Samuel) but loathes the others, we used them anyway and you know what? it don't kill ya.

It gave me Dwight just now too .
I only did girls on it the other day, where it seemed to do much better.

EffiePerine · 16/05/2008 08:20

now that one gives me Lincoln, Dean and Dwight phmm]

CantSleepWontSleep · 16/05/2008 07:57

This was it MamaG.

CantSleepWontSleep · 16/05/2008 07:53

Oh hatrick - I thought you were going with Ezra? I love Ezra, and it's made me sad that you aren't using it now.

MamaG - there's a site someone suggested on here the other day where you can enter a few names that you like and it will come up with other ones. Suggestions seemed reasonably sensible when I tried it. Will go see if I can find the link.
