Please help me with a name for poor DS3

[namestresses]

Hi Lovely MNetters!

DS3 is due soon... the dates are fast approaching and we are still lost for a name for him!
DH and I have a shortlist, but nothing really screams out 'me, me!' so I was hoping you ladies could have a quick scan and tell me yay or nay in your opinion.

We like:
Austell
Arden
Lachlan
Huxley

All feedback most welcome!

Well, Arden to me is a girls name, so I would nix that one!

Austell is okay, not something I would choose but not hideous.

Huxley is a no from me!!

Lachlan I like :)

I would go with Lachlan from your list.

Have you considered Dexter? I love it and it seems in a similar style to your list.

Bucking the trend, I like Austell!

I know a male Arden - I like it. I also like Lachlan and Huxley very much. In fact I think all your options are nice, classic but not overused names. Can't go wrong with any imo.

Lachlan is my favourite. Would have campaigned for it myself except it wouldn't work with our surname.

I like all you names, you have got excellant taste.

I really like Lachlan but prefer Lochlan.

though Hux is a very cool nn.

I've never head of Austell. Sounds a bit like hostel.
Arden - dislike
Lachlan is ok
Huxley - wasn't that a pig? I do quite like it though.

Another vote for Lachlan here.

Felix??

Lachlan or Huxley

Huxley

Austell-prefer Austin
Arden-don't like
Lachlan-OK
Huxley-sounds like a cartoon character

Agree with whoever said Dexter/Felix
How about Jerome?
or Angus?
or Jethro?

Austell - sounds like hostel
Arden - sounds like lady's makeup somehow
Lachlan - sounds like a laxative
Huxley - I think it is the best of the lot.

Fenton?

What about Lorcan?

I like Lachlan - Lachy for short is nice although not sure how easy to say if not scottish!

Huxley makes me think of Huxley pig although not against it otherwise

Not sure about Austell or Arden..

I guess you are one of those lucky people with a 'surnamey' surname so people won't get confused?

i couldn't choose a name for my son so dh and i came up with 4 names we didn't hate and let our daughter pick his name. it let her be part of the process and we call him by a nick name anyway. his real name is only used when he gets given into trouble.

but i would do the shout test with each name where you pretend to shout your proposed name like your wee one has run off. if you still like it after then its a contender.

i like lachlan

Lachlan is alright not really keen on the others. What are your other DC called.

I like Lachlan - would have considered it for DS but it rhymes with our surname to the point of sounding daft.
