These are the only three names I like for DS2. I think at the minute, Rory is fave, but I would welcome other suggestions, or thoughts. I really like Max but it would sound totally ridiculous with out surname What do you think?

Definitely Rory. I love it. The other 2 names are also nice though.

Joel Alexander. I like Joel, but it's probably more popular than Rory at the moment.

I love them all. Theo is probably my favourite on paper but as others have said, there are loads of them around and so it has become a bit of a non-name. Max is the same re popularity so don't worry about not being able to have it!

I think Rory Joel would be great - a fantastic name in fact.

The names are nice, I used to love both Theo and Joel, but that was in the 80s. If I had a son named Theodore I think I'd like to name him Teddy, that's adorable.

How about Rudy?
I like Saul too.
or Leander/ Lysander (wild cards)

My DH is called Rory! So definitely a vote from me.

I have a Rory - currently struggling to think of a boy's name we like as much in case no. 2 is a boy too...

Hi all and thanks for your responses. I am feeling gutted today, as had another big 'name talk' with DH last night and he is now saying, after I thought we had a final three, that he is not hot on ANY of them. Ruled Theo out as that was his least favourite but I am not sure we will ever agree. Grrrrrr. Feel like I am back to square one. Unless I can get my evil way in the next couple of months! Or maybe I just call him Rory Joel from day one and tell DH I can't see him being anything else, and wait for him to get used to it! Grin

If we had a third, it had better be a girl!

Does your DH have names that he likes himself, or is he just saying he doesn't like yours? I would keep Rory on the table, mentally speaking, if it were me.
