I had a good list of names. But sadly dp has narrowed it right down to 2.
whilst I quite rather like them, i am not sure either of them is THE name.

so hit me with them, anything you can think of. but it must be cool.

Anton.....nooooooo people will assume he is named after Anton DuBeck given the popularity of Strictly!

Seth?

Hugo? Rufus? Hercules? I agree that Diccon isn't a brill name. They would call him Stuck My

Asa...always associated with dodgy perms favoured by 1970's footballers ala Asa Hartford

Please don't do it.

LedodgySwine · 29/04/2009 23:30

Seth.

werewabbit · 29/04/2009 23:30

Eli
Gabriel

All sound very biblical though. Met a Malachi today, thought that was cool

seeker · 29/04/2009 23:30

Please, Richard shortened to Richey. That gives him lots of options. Including Diccon - which I've always thought is a fab shortening!

ASA!

CandleQueen · 29/04/2009 23:29

Asher is great, but biblical.
I love Dashiell, but DH vetoed it. I thought it sounds great full, but also shortened to Dash.

Vincent? Old skool Nu-cool?
