loobylu3 · 11/07/2009 21:58

I just wanted to say that they are all lovely names. you can't go wrong whichever one you choose!

TwoSunnyDays · 30/06/2009 12:55

Lucas is lovely, also like Luke.

MamaLazarou · 30/06/2009 11:03

Gabriel may get called 'Gay' at school by cruel boys.

Ghost Town!!!! My BIL used to have a picture disc of this and it had a skeleton playing the piano. Terrified me! I was about 10 I guess?

And even now I can remember that eeriness of the song, it still sends shivers up me now!

lol, straight to the point is good

dizzydixies · 26/06/2009 21:46

I don't want to tell you why I don't like Lucas as it will ruin it but as I said I think the others are lovely

I can kind of see what your DH means. DD1 would have been Corin or Caleb. DD2 would have been Roan or Reuben. DD3 would have been Reuben or Cassius or Noah

now it he'll just let me have DD4

sorry I did not even say Hi. I am seeming to do 'straight to the point' in my convo's recently

dizzy DD1 was going to be Reuben. The only thing with this name, is DH (and his oddities) feels this name was the name for that baby, it was her name if she was a boy, and you can't just pass it on. He feels we have to start again. But he really does like it, so he might be persuaded .

Bella and Gabe do sound good together don't they? I do say them together, and with our surname and they all go really well

Lucas - now I love it, but not really a fan of Luke. I also quite like Luca, or did until my friend murdered the song 'My Name is Luca' by singing it very drunk one time in a Devonshire accent. Baaaaaaad.

hi Pav

my DD1 shares names with yours and Reuben was our choice had DD2 been a DS

love Gabriel and Tom too though, only one I'm not keen on is Lucus

Doctorskidaddle · 26/06/2009 21:34

Love Gabriel and Bella and Gabe sound perfect together

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 26/06/2009 19:38

LOVE them all except Thomas. You have fab taste. Lucas is by far the best. Gabe comes second.

Thunderduck · 26/06/2009 19:30

Rufus is lovely I agree.

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 26/06/2009 19:28

I actually told DH I like Rufus, but he just laughed, and I also had a dog called Rufus, so not a great idea

But I am glad they are all getting positive feedback

I like them all, also like Rufus.

Thunderduck · 26/06/2009 19:23

Thankyou, that's helpful. I think in my cat's case he's trading them for catnip, he always looks rather shifty when he returns.

..wanders off to ponder the ethics of a cat owning another cat.

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 26/06/2009 19:22

But you are right, I can't remember where I lost mine...

They sell them for catnip.

Or they lose them in trees.

Or in fights.

That is why most of them have quick release clips. Although our female cat is a little houdini and can get out of the tightest non quick release collars.

Thunderduck · 26/06/2009 19:19

Well actually while I'm here I might as well ask you something.

Where do cats lose their collars? What happens to them? Mine has lost 5 in the past 2 months? Do they sell them on E-bay? Trade them?

Or won't you remember as you're a forgetful cat?

Scorps · 26/06/2009 19:18

i'm sure you have a ds you know

I still like Gabriel. Zachary is very cool, my Dss is one and Zac is a great nn. Bloody men!

Thunderduck · 26/06/2009 19:17

Wait, ignore me. Wrong cat.

Gabe isn't a bad nickname actually, but I do think that Gabriel is so much nicer.

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 26/06/2009 19:16

I have a DD Scorps (mentioned below )

Thunderduck - ooh what do you want to ask me? How did I lose my memory? Do I really do what I am told at the ring of a bell? Wasn't Pavlov a dog not a cat? Ask away!

Scorps · 26/06/2009 19:14

Gabriel. it goes with your ds1 name (if i remember correctly, A?)
