Hi all,
We're expecting DS3, and already have Toby and Lucas. What names do you think would go well? Wouldn't like any of the boys to feel they got the worst name.
Thanks.

Adam, William, Zachary, Edward, Toby, Benjamin, Marcus, Dominic,

Well my DS2 was almost Toby and ended up being Lucas, so other names we considered were Isaac, Reuben, William and Daniel. And DS1 is Iwan (welsh spelling of Ewan) James. Hope that helps!

Thanks for all the suggestions. A lot of these are names I love too, but for various reasons (mostly duplicating family and close friend's names) can't use them- Sam, Alex, Adam, William, Henry, Oscar, Jacob, Oliver, Peter, Joseph. So that's reassuring that we're on the same lines.

I do love Isaac and Edward so they'll go on the list to present to DP :). What do you all think of these: Jack, Jonah, Seth, Rex, Patrick, Arthur, Jasper? It's so tricky naming a third son!

I like Jonah and Seth best from your post above.

justhayley · 20/03/2012 14:12

babyblabber · 20/03/2012 15:04

Geranium3 · 20/03/2012 15:53

Ralph or even Ralphael or Edward or Oscar?

Geranium3 · 20/03/2012 15:55

Oops just seen you cannot have an oscar!

PomBearAtTheGatesOfDawn · 20/03/2012 16:05

Milo or Miles since the poxy Tweenies have sullied Milo for all time

Limelight · 20/03/2012 16:09

What about Theo?

OriginalJamie · 20/03/2012 16:17

I like Jack, Patrick and Seth best from your list

or what about

Michael
Matthew
Asa
Evan

doradoo · 20/03/2012 16:19

I have a Henry and a George - if DD had been DS3 she'd have been James Frederick Percy!

upahill · 20/03/2012 16:21

I would go for Anton.

shockers · 20/03/2012 16:28

Felix

Bonsoir · 20/03/2012 16:35

I was going to suggest Jonah and then read the thread and found that it had preceded me!

TinkerMaloo · 20/03/2012 16:38

Jonah, Patrick or Arthur but overall I think that Jonah works best with the 2 you already have :)

puzzletree · 20/03/2012 19:34

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Glad you seem to like Jonah, it's a name I wanted to call Toby, but DP liked it even less than Toby :) so we'll see....
I do like George, but can't really do that with Lucas. But Theo, Felix, Asa all good for the list. Milo is a name DP has suggested in the past but I wasn't keen, maybe if I can indeed shake the Tweenies connection...

Glad you like Asa

I still like it a lot. DH vetoed for both our DSs

puzzletree · 12/07/2012 01:37

Just letting you know that our little boy arrived last week and, after a few days deciding, we called him Seth. Thanks for all your help!
