except for Rufus, which is my ds's name. Here's hoping this baby is a girl!

What boys' names do you like?

Coo - you lot are a good. Will go through these names with my DH. I have a feeling that he'll veto a fair few, but lots of fab names - Hugo, Bruno and Gabriel are definitely options...

oooo we have a Rufus too :) Our other boys are Jasper & Tobias.

We considered Gabriel, Dominic, Idris, Bruno & Linus - boys are names are much harder to choose ime.

We've got a Rufus too.His brother is called Johnny.If he wasn't called Rufus would have been Theo or Felix.Agree boys names are hard to choose!

You see Theodore, Oscar and Felix were on our list for Rufus, but now I have friends with children with those names (ditto Arthur, Seth and Stanley). Finn was the only name we had for dc2 and we weren't sure about it... again, a few of them around. Luckily we had a girl! Boys names are harder.
