Only 3 weeks to go! Tell me what you think of these names and which is the best.

Harry
Luke/Luc (not sure which spelling)
Dominic

My favourites of Theo, Logan, Dillan, and Mason have been rejected by heartless DH who thinks he has a say! But as we have rather traditional names for the other DCs, I suppose he is grudgingly right!!

BTW I agree with youjr DH and not keen in varying degrees on the other list.

cece · 26/08/2009 22:19

I like Luke and Dominic as both 'normal' type names but not overused. Harry also nice but a bit too popular for me. We half considered Luke for DS2...

jkklpu · 26/08/2009 22:15

Dominic, who could be Nicky as a nn when small
not Luc unless you're French
Harry - ubiquitous

HeadFairy · 26/08/2009 22:15

My favourites are Harry and Dominic.

LynetteScavo · 26/08/2009 22:14

Oh, so Grilsaloud, you didn't have Luke the Puke?

Actually, Luke is my fave of the 3.

Thunderduck · 26/08/2009 22:14

I don't like Harry. Luke is ok. Dominic is nice.

But Theo and Mason are even better.

Thanks all.
I feel like that a bit SOH about Harry, it is very popular.

Dominic is a problem one as we both can imagine a little boy running around called Dominic, but cannot see it for a little baby!! (weird, I know!)

I can imagine a little baby Luke though. I think I prefer that spelling.

DH is being useless, he is leaving the deliberating up to me, then will decided whether he likes it or not!!

BIG problem with Luke is that DH will not be able to resist the "Luke, I am your father" type lines He is already doing it now!!

Feedthegoat, I do love the rejected names, but I can't see them fitting with the others in rl. But I won't tell DH you agree with him!

Harry

MrsMattieFunFabCuntFlaps · 26/08/2009 21:50

Dominic.

LaDiDaDi · 26/08/2009 21:49

Luke or Dominic.

littleboyblue · 26/08/2009 21:47

My ds2 is Luke. I liked Dominic but dp didn't.
I also liked Dillon and he liked Mason. But Luke is by far the best. Apart from when dp is saying "Luke, I am your father" very annoying!

LynetteScavo · 26/08/2009 21:47

Luke or Dominic.

Theremare too many Harrys.

differentID · 26/08/2009 21:46

Dominic then Luke, then Harry

ShowOfHands · 26/08/2009 21:45

I don't like Luke but do like Lucas.

Harry is so popular now that I almost don't hear it anymore, I can't register it. It's lost all of its impact and instead of thinking 'oh that's nice' I just think 'oh another one'.

Dominic is quite nice actually.

feedthegoat · 26/08/2009 21:39

I do like your shortlist much better than the names your dh has rejected. Sorry!

I think Harry and Luke are nicest.

Sidge · 26/08/2009 21:39

I love Luke, or Lucas (but not Luc to be honest).

Harry nice but popular.

thirtysomething · 26/08/2009 21:39

They are all lovely. If I had to pick I'd go for Dominic as the other two are very popular but it's a hard choice.
