...brothers Thomas and George, also have a strong boys name as a surname that begins with O, so we have to be careful with initials.

I am looking for something different to Max and Jack, but as nice as them, maybe a little bit wacky but not too much, and deffo not poncey (I am a Southerner in the North West, I have to be careful with my accent) We have been through countless name books/websites and not hit on the one yet, so it's over to you lot!

To give an idea, my favourites are Seth, Seb(astian), Albert (Albie), DH likes Charlie and Harrison, neither of us like each others (Well to be fair, I love Harrison, but I don't like 'Arrison, which is what it becomes up here!)

Some lovely ones, all already been knocked out by DH, Noah, Rory, Alex, are favourites but again DH says no.

Why is it they say no, but then not come up with anything themselves?

More please

Ollie Oliver it is!!! Its sounds great!!

What about Tarquin?

I know I am so useless, I blame the pregnancy brain.

I like Duncan.

Theo

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 02/12/2008 16:15

Ollie Oliver, why didn't I think of that?!

Ted is nice, but it isn't right.

These suggestions are all a bit erm.... normal, I want something a bit more out there without being too out there...

Don't roll your eyes at me, I am pregnant, I am allowed to be difficult!

Ted's not bad tho. Maybe Edward is a goer ...?

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 02/12/2008 16:10

Yes have heard the chav/donkey thing, it wouldn't bother me but since DH says no, it doesn't matter anyway!

Ned is slang for Chav in some parts

Tell me about it, he says Ned sounds like nerd, but he likes Ted. But if Ned sounds like nerd, doesn't Ted sound like turd?

Not that I get the Ned/nerd thing in the first pleace.

Keep 'em coming, am not going to let this thread die till you've found us something!
