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!

Edward is DS's middle name

Xander is a nice shortening for Alexander

Charlie is better, but still not quite right

I really like Edward, but no. Nor Gilbert (isn't that a nice name? And Gil a good short). Not even Xerxes raised any interest. BAH

James I really like but Jim + our surname is hilarious. Couldn't do it.

I lie Alexander as well but there are a million Alexes round here.

You could have a Charles, known as Charlie.

the only vaguely acceptable name so far is Charles and I don't love it. I can't see myself having a Charles IYSWIM.

Might be a good reason to find out the sex if we can, would save ooh 4 months of arguments

traditional

the problem is I have a very picky DH who is stubbornly clinging to the idea that if it's a boy he will be called Jocelyn

I have 5 it does get harder as you have to get names that sort of go with the others iyswim?

My dd's all have quite old traditional names .

Amelia is lovely BTW
