So there are two days to go until my due date and still no name! Every time DH and I start to talk about names it leads to an arguement and now we have very little time left. Our first DS (Dexter) was nameless for two weeks before we settled on a name we both loved. So would people be able to vote for their favourite combination? We have four but we both have a reason against each name Hmm. Would you be able to put some of the doubts out of our mind or are they justified? Sorry for rambling on, here are the names -

Ivan Christopher (parents laughed when we suggested it)
Devlin James (know someone who has this as a surname)
Leon Caleb (someone told us it was chavvy)
Solomon Miles (don't like the nn Sol/Solly but they are inevitable)

What do you think?

Ivan Christopher

If "parents laughed" is all you have against it, I wouldn't worry!

christopher leon leon devlin would be my pick.

middle names are hardly used and leon is a brilliant name if you refuse to use christopher Grin

Ivan Christopher is my pick.
Leon Devlin is a bit too repetitive, both with 2 syllables and ending with an n.

I like all of them apart from Solomon. But sod what anyone else thinks - go with what you like and don't tell anyone what names you're considering, just tell them after the baby is born and you've chosen already - then they'll have to be polite and keep their opinions to themselves!

Leon Devlin then, I like the repetative sound.

pinkgirlythoughts · 05/09/2011 11:57

Ivan Christopher out of those two.

But I still like Leon Christopher best of all

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 05/09/2011 13:19

Leon is chavvy.......love solomon, tbh whatever you call them they'll end up with a nn you dislike. Wink

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 05/09/2011 13:20

Like christopher too tho, or Gregory or some such.
