thereisalightanditnevergoesout's baby name shortlist

[thereisalightanditnevergoesout]

I'm due today. There's no sign. (It's because he doesn't have a name, yet )

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering that I generated with Mumsnet's Baby Name Finder. Let me know what you think.

Boys
Angus
Billy
Fergus
Hector
Leo
Moss
Patrick
Sterling
Tobias
Tom

Yes, I was wondering if they'd've preferred a dog!

It's all gone a bit Wizard of Oz...

:)

And how are you?

Hector.

I know a Toto, at least it is what his baby brother calls him, he is really Hector :)

Bit sore - and a bit shaky and VERY tired. Didn't get to sleep until 3 and up at 5:20 timing contractions - then the kids have been SO excited, they've been in to see us every 20 minutes, you know, each time we've managed to get to sleep!! .

I'm even more stumped now I've seen him, to be honest. No name is grabbing me. We'll see what he looks like tomorrow, I guess.

If I could work out how to post a pic to my profile - I would, and then you could all have a look and offer suggestions...

Maybe I'll see if I can manage that tomorrow, too.

Ooh yes please to a pic.

Look after yourself and have a good sleep. :)

Congrats.

If the kids love Toto you could always call him Thomas, and Toto could be his nn.

Congratulations!

And Fergus -

"For Fergus rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars."

Ahem.
As you were.

Congratulations Light! Great news. If you don't think you can go for Angus, Fergus is just fab. :) Please let us all know what you've decided. Best wishes to you all.

Congratulations from me too. Hope you've managed to get a bit more sleep.

Have you decided on a name yet?

Angus, Fergus, Leo, Tobias.

Congratulations.

We're still pretty unconvinced he looks like any of the names on the list - but have decided that we're going to try out Angus for a week or so - see how it works with the cat situation.

I think the next option might be Tom or Toby.

Ooh - it's so hard!

Thanks for all your opinions and input - it's been greatly appreciated :)

All three are lovely names, I especially like Angus.

Hope you are getting some lovely snuggly time with your new DS and you have a few weeks to decide on the name so don't stress too much

Congratulations.:) Are you sure he doesn't look like a Rusholme?

Hey - now you come to mention it, autodidact... .

He's very cute, though - and he's got the lovely newborn smell - though DD2 (nearly 4) says he smells like bacon (?!).

Right then, for those of you who might still be interested - it looks like he's going to be Angus Edward Patrick (really, DH not having Rusholme in there at all!). We might even register him and everything!!

Hi Light, that's fab! Congratulations! I take it the trial with Angus went well. So pleased for you :)

It was a bit weird to start with, but we got past it. It can be done! Are you any further forward with your decision?

Congratulations!

LOVE how you are slipping in some Moz related names there. Could you not slip a Jesse in front of that Tobias?

I love Angus, Hector and Patrick

I knew there was a reason Tobias was in there - my life has been infused so much by Morrissey I don't even notice anymore !!

Actually, I'm quite liking Jesse...

:o

I used to have a goat called Johnny... (after the Peppermint Pig). I'm rambling now.

Leo or Tobias

Love Tom!
