Pull out your baby name books...

[bebemooneedsabreak]

I want a 2 syllable male name starting with Bran- not Brandon, Brannon or Branson (as those have all been vetoed by dh). Have your books got any other choices?

Also I need 2 syllable 'K' or hard 'C' name, like Kenneth (which dh also vetoed as sounding 30's middle class), for a middle name...

(My original thought was Brannon William Kenneth) but like I said dh was all :( abt the B and the K names...

I like that one Walter :)

Madoc William Carter have a feeling dh will/did veto Madoc last time too tho will run it by him...

Ooh that's lovely, Madoc William Carter, I like that a lot!!

Dh has ok'd Madoc (would Maddy be too cliche for a shortened version?)

Love Branwell, how about:

Branard
Branch ...yes apparently so
Brandell
Brandt
Brannon
Branwill
Branwyll ...a lovely Welsh name.

Yippee!! Although Maddy is a bit girly imo? Not sure...

Madock looks better to me than Madoc. Madoc looks 'unfinished' somehow.

Maddy does look girlly, but it's kinda what you'd fall into... unless we call him Doc for short

Melinda- Branwyll looks interesting... hmmm I might still get a little Bran

Nick names are what you make of them and they tend to generate themselves.

There is a TV show on at the minute featuring two blokes on a canal boat. One of them in known by his nn "Mave" (His surname is Davis, so I can only guess Mavis Davis) but he does not seem to mind.

Mavis David!!! Yes you would slip into that, and I suppose it's not girly if your are calling it to a boy.
A friend of mine has a son with the nn Cassie

Madoc could be shortened to Doc. Which in my opinion is waaaaay cool.

Thanks for the help ladies we're all sorted (for now ) for names! and in only 1 day of really trying!

i met a little brannigan today which i thought was quite sweet .
