I agree with some of the others. I have two DSs and I would really struggle. Loved DS1s name from before he was born (Adam) but struggled with a name for DS2 for 6 weeks. If there was ever a DS3 then the name I love is James (but DH would never agree). Girls names are so much easier.

I would have said Oliver Thomas a few years ago but Oliver seems so common now. It was my great uncle's name and he was very close to my grandma but passed away before I was born so when I was about eight I promised her that if I ever had a son that would be his name. I still love the name, I just don't like how common it is now. At the time I didn't know of anyone where we lived called that - it was 15 years ago though! Thomas because both my grandad's are called that and they're two of the best men in my life. I'd even consider Thomas as a first name but dp's surname is Jones so...it'd just remind me of an old Welsh crooner!

Bernard Francis.

Kaekae · 16/06/2012 16:32

Staceisace..I agree my almost 5 year old is an Oliver, didn't know of one when he was born now they are everywhere!! Such a popular name now.

Staceisace · 16/06/2012 18:58

Kaekae - it's such a lovely name and I like the fact it has a special meaning for me. No other boys name will ever be as special :/ Maybe by the time I'm having kids it'll be a bit less popular but then I don't want it to seem dated?

DP is against it because he knew an Oliver who drooled all the time...sigh!
