Thanks all - love Eliza. Would rather avoid anything really popular, which means probably not Oliver (though I do like it). Dulcie is nice but not quite right I think.

clumsymum I think I need you to help me with baby names! I have a Matilda and am considering Beatrix for DC2. Also just saw Arlo on your other thread and love it! Inspire me with more please...!

Sorry OP Blush - love Felix and Oscar from your list and quite like Jemima but can't escape puddle duck associations...

LowLevelWhiiingeing · 16/01/2011 22:02

oh god, I LOVE Jemima!

DP vetoed. But you could do it?

NewImprovedJollster · 16/01/2011 22:02

From your list
Jude
Jemima (love Iris too but doesn't roll as well with Rufus).

How about Otis or Jocasta?

(you're not in Brighton are you OP?)

LowLevelWhiiingeing · 16/01/2011 22:05

Arlo?

AnnOnimous · 16/01/2011 22:25

Eliza and Caspar/Caspian

smother · 16/01/2011 22:55

Love Jude and Iris. perfect names. who cares how well they 'go' with Rufus, although I think they do sound lovely together.

Thinking of the Wainrights, Rufus' sister is Martha.

ValiumSilverTongue · 17/01/2011 00:06

Jude, Iris and Rudy (but not rufus)

Those are all names from the Law Frost Famiglia

SilkStalkings · 17/01/2011 20:01

How about a colour theme since Rufus means red?

Iris (blue)
Daisy/Pearl/Alba/Quita (white)
Duncan/Jasper (brown)
Chryssa (gold)
Sylvia/Sterling
Saffron, Coral, Heather, Hazel, Violet, Willow, Fern
