First DS after 3DDs, with 5 weeks to go we have finally narrowed it down to 3 names.

Elliot
Matthew
Marcus

Surname is short one syllable and begins with R.

Which do you prefer?

Our surname is also one syllable & begins with R - and DS is Matthew! (middle name Stuart)

Matthew

I like Elliot but am never sure how to spell it. Given our email age, that could be a problem? Like the others too.

  1. Marcus
  2. Matthew
  3. Elliot (only because of the spelling thing)
CoteDAzur · 31/03/2010 22:25

Marcus.

jellybeans · 31/03/2010 22:22

Matthew.. but Marcus is a close second. Dislike Elliot, know one who gets Elli.

notsochickchickchicken · 31/03/2010 22:22

First choice- Matthew every one I have known has been lovely and gentle.
Second choice- Elliot

Not keen on Marcus

skidoodly · 31/03/2010 22:16

thisisyesterday - you're welcome to ours

lockets - we are supposed to be heading south for weekend then over to Eire then up north to NI then home - not so sure all that time in the car on a road trip is beneficial but fingers crossed for an overnight improvement

sorry kitty!!!
