I am expecting dc3.

we have 2 dds already. have a name (possibly) for dc3 if a girl, but struggling with boys names.

we like unusual (but not in a trendy yoooonique spelling kind of way) names - uncommon, I suppose.

anyway, names we have so far, but I am not convinced I could actually use them are:

Giles
Lyndon
Casimir

We do also like more 'usual' names, such as Edward, Dominic and Thomas but, well, they are just so, I don't know, expected I guess. most of the dd's friends younger brothers are Oliver or William or George.

I'm not a fan of Lyndon or Giles, sorry. Casimir is a character in florrie's dragons (a wizard I think) so kids would prob have heard of it.
How about Ezra, Arlo, Edwin, Thaddeus, Xavier, Axel, Quinn, Milo, Ezekiel, Felix, Tobias, dexter,

What about

Lucian, nn 'Luce'

Ptolemy, nn 'Tolly'

or my all time favourite, 'Taliesin' - nn 'Tally' (its welsh i think)
