Hi have been musing for some time and dc3 is now due in 8 weeks, Dh and I are still to agree on a boys name.

We have 2 dd's and have no problem with girls names but I have a weird feeling this one might be a boy.

DD1 is Emily Alys (known but everyone except the dr's as Milly)
DD2 is Lydia Grace

If it is DD3 she would be either Beatrice Flora or Florence Rose.

We have a massive extended family on my mothers side DD2 is no 23 in the great grand children and really don't want the same name (iyswim). Would also like to avoid the same initial as either dd.

The only name we can nearly agree on is Edward ( yes same initial)but Dh has real issues as dd2 has chronic health problems which he feels already may make her feel the odd on out ( she's 22 mths at the moment, so this is all possibly over thinking the problem!)

So please good ladies Help!!!!!

PS if I don't respond immediatey my internet connection is shaky but seems to be a little better today!!

Albert? I know a couple of little Alberts now and they're lovely.

Andy /andrew but tbh I don't think he would want that.

Like Charlie (dh didn't surprise surprise!)
And Freddie (ditto)

Toby was on the short list but then got the chop!

See i loved Joshua, but my dh hated Josh, see if you can bring yours round I couldn't so we've got Luke instead, and a Ben.

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 06/04/2009 15:35

Robert is a possiblity > and I can't remember whether there was a "good" reason for a no!!

We do like fairly traditional names and dd1 was going to be a Jack but as it has been no.1 for the past XXX years am a little put off by that ( saying that we don't actually know any!)

Loved Joshua ( nn josh is fab) but v fussy dh ( may try again on that one!)

Luke ( "reminds me of star wars )

There is an answer for EVERYTHING!!!

I like to go into labour with two options for each and then choose but it's just not happening!

Looked at Arthur for a middle name ( dh wouldn't sanction it as a first) But then ended up with exactly the same initials !!!{grin]

Cheesesarnie- Loved Benjamin but it is also the name of a soon to be ex BIL so couldn't do that to my dsis.

Jacob/ archie/ robin all vetoed!

belgo · 06/04/2009 15:25

Edward is lovely, I'm sure your middle child won't fel the odd one out for having a different initial.

What about Arthur or Alfie or Matthew
