We are seriously running out of time now to come up with a name for DC4, due in a weeks time and we need a name! We don't have time to trawl through baby name books so would you be able to suggest some names (even just put down your favourite names, we need inspiration)? Our DCs are called Cosima Jayne, Marnie Grace and Rupert Arthur Stephen. Middle names for this DC with either be Colin Edward or Camilla. Help us please!!

For a boy, how about Alexander? Fits well with the other DC names, and makes him ACE (OK, bit Jilly, but I like it).

Assuming you don't want to duplicate initials:

Girls:
Tamsin
Vashti
Blaise

Boys:
Laurence
Lewis
Alasdair

BlueChampagne · 11/01/2012 15:23

Toby?

bigbluebump · 11/01/2012 15:24

Cosima, Marnie, Rupert and

Charlotte Camilla
Antonia Camilla

Felix Edward
Quentin Edward

(p.s. in French Laurence is a girls name, the female version of Laurent, just like Florence is the female version of Florent).

I thought Blaise was a French boys name?

oikopolis · 11/01/2012 15:41

^ Yes Blaise is a boys' name.

Well I knew a girl called Blaise at primary school in the 70s

ChocolatEtVin · 11/01/2012 17:56

How about Asa, Tobias, Jago, Marcus, Todd, Leonard, Marcus, Dominic and Pasha? For girls how about Violet, Ivy, Saffron, Fern or Eleanor (nn Nora)?

lyonheart · 11/01/2012 22:04

How about Edward as a first name? Then you could have nns Ed/Eddy/Ted/Teddy.

crocodilesmiles · 12/01/2012 09:36

Daniella for a girl? nn Ella

Littlecherublegs · 12/01/2012 09:38

mincepiefreak · 12/01/2012 09:39

I know a girl now aged 20 with the name Blaise, it suits her so much as she has fiery red curly hair. She has always stood out, her name is lovely and would suit your names.

crocodilesmiles · 12/01/2012 09:57

How about....Coralie
Coral
Camille

crocodilesmiles · 12/01/2012 10:03

Sorry, read your post properly they wouldn't go with your choice of middle name.

PutThatCatOutNow · 12/01/2012 17:00

Loads of great suggestions, thanks. So far the only names really standing out to me are Theodore and Roman, but please keep the suggestions coming!
