We understand that we probably have completely different taste in names to most people on this forum, but we have hit a brick wall in coming up with a name for DC5 due in just 3 weeks! We already have four beautiful boys with slightly more unusual names (they are Darwin Silas, Gabriel Wolf (Wolfie), Heath Cassian and Shay Orlando) and just cannot find any names which we love as much as those.

The only thing we have decided on so far is the middle names - they will be River if a boy and Hero if a girl. So what do you suggest?

Where was that post with names from the Shipping Forecast? There were some great ones in that! I'll look it up. It was something about hipster names...

MerryMarigold · 24/10/2011 22:15
