DC5 is due on 28th December so we are obviously getting into a bit of a panick over choosing a name! Other DCs are Tobias, Jago, Sorrell and Asa. We've got a list of names that we both like but, to be honest, some of the boys names are a bit more normal than our other DCs names! What do you think of them and can you suggest anything a bit more out there?

Boys
Marcus
Dominic
Todd
Rupert
Leonard (with the nn Lenny)
We also like Woody but what could it be a nn for?

Girls
Violet
Ivy
Saffron
Fearne
Indigo
Eleanor (with the nn Nora)

What do you think of them and what are your favourites? Are there any you strongly dislike?

Thanks for the suggestion of Theo, that (well Theodore) has gone on the list as a possible mn :)

Rupert and Lenny are gorgous! As for the girls I like Ivy, Violet and Fern but love Saffron!

I like woody!short for Woodstock like the character from snoopy! It's my hubby's nickname :) wouldn't be brave enough to call a kid woody tho!!

Love love love violet. It's future dd's middle name for sure:)

Think some of the boys names aren't as interesting as the names your other children have. I'd choose Marcus from the list but would suggest Rafferty, Flynn or Milo as alternatives.

For the girls I would chose Violet or Ivy from your list. Not very good on girls names so won't make any suggestions!

I like Woody, but that's because I have one... Our's is short for Woodrow.

We picked that because it could be nn Woody but also nn Ro if he want's.

Lenny is also pretty cool.
