Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Dh and I are coming from very different places
Me - Gabriel, Xaviere, Christian, Fabian
Dh - Robert, John, Garry, Lee

It just ain't going to happen is it? Can anybody think of something? Anything? Our other two are Alexandra and Theo.

Perhaps Matthew or Lewis.

Kit is lovely.

I love the name Finlay (shortened to Finn), sounds really cool = you couldn't be a chav with the name Finn!

I have a 6wk old Noah and Ds1 is Lewis.

Congrats and hope you can make a decision soon.

diddl · 24/08/2009 19:15

Hubbys name or middle name or a variant of either?

No not resolved. Do like Patrick, but DH has a cousin called that. I know what you mean about his random name choices. A lot of them are old family names. I only got away with Theo because his mum had a great uncle Theo - pity she hasn't got a great uncle Gabriel stashed away somewhere.

Jacob, Harvey, Silas?

diddl · 24/08/2009 18:11

Is it resolved yet?
Prefer Finn to Kit, although on the whole don´t like one syllable names.

MuppetsMuggle · 24/08/2009 17:51

I love Finn, it was on my shortlist

I also love Reuben as its a family name.

screamingabdab · 24/08/2009 17:42

Congratulations. I love Luca

Hope you and the baby are doing OK

emma2617 · 24/08/2009 13:29

I had the names Finn, Cian and Luca when I was pregnant (Luca was my partners least favourite!!) but after s horrible labour, crash section and baby in NICU I got my own way and now have my little boy Luca!!

I really like Finn though...but it is quite popular now, much like Luca seems to be!!

seeker · 24/08/2009 13:20

Christopher shortened to Kit is LOVELY. If you really don't want Patrick, that is!

FimbleHobbs · 24/08/2009 13:16

Congrats on new baby.

I would go for Kit over Finn, purely on syllables.

Your DC1 has 4, DC2=2, so imho it would be nice for DC3 to have more than 1.

Is your DH picking names he randomly likes or are they all from a football team or something? They sound like they are from the same sort of era - if there is a reason behind his suggestions there could be scope to expand this into a wider range of names?

Although, I do love Bertie - could you have a Robert thats a Bertie?

Doobydoo · 24/08/2009 13:10

I really like Kit AND Finn
Sorry,not much help!

Nope, still being really dysfunctional - on many levels. Haven't really discussed it lately. I love Milo, but there is one in close family, same with Louis. What do you think out of Kit and Finn?
Thanks so much for all suggestions - it is helping. Must must FOCUS.

I'm dying to know the outcome of this - please let us know!

Doobydoo · 23/08/2009 22:46

Hope you are making some headway
Ds1 could have been Gabriel [or Merlin][that was mine and Thank goodness dp talked me out of it]Ds1 is Finn
Still like Merlin but I think A TV presenter who gets on my nerves has a son by that name.
So Kit
Finn
Milo[ds2's name]
Christian.or Christopher[see Kit]

seeker · 23/08/2009 22:39

Let go of bookshelves and Gabriel. Call him Patrick. It is the best boy's name in the English speaking world.

belgo · 23/08/2009 17:33

or Louis pronounced Louie

belgo · 23/08/2009 17:31

If he like Garry and you like Gabriel, what about Guy?

Fruitysunshine · 23/08/2009 17:30

Gabriel William/Charles?

Hi, thanks again for all suggestions, they are helping. DH has mentioned Charlie and William, though I like both of them, they're not really my cup of tea. I like Eli and Heath, I'll have another go at him a bit later on after we've finished our row about bookcases. It would be easier if I didn't love Gabriel so much - it's a real mental block. I knew we should have sorted this out before, but oh no - we'll wait to see what he looks like(DH) yeah right.

He looks like a newborn baby.
