Well, I've only just had Dylan Jack...

So I'd go for Nathaniel or Joseph.

I also like Dashiell, Digby, Corin and Griffin but probably wouldn't be brave enough [wuss emoticon]

GnocchiNineDoors · 06/06/2012 14:14

Some arrangement of William, Oscar & Heathcliff - not sure on the order but will never have to worry about it in RL!

You have excellent taste in names,MrsDevere. I've told you so before, as I love all of your dcs names,but it's true. Shasta is gorgeous.

Nate

Or Seth

Or Sebastian.

Or Matthew

Or Elijah.

Yeah. Poor DS was baby for 5 days.... I'm officially crap at this naming lark.

Is there a girls name thread yet?

DumSpiroSpero · 06/06/2012 17:42

Everlong - even if we did have another and it was a boy I'm fairly certain that DH wouldn't be having any of those names - would probably go for the names in that order which would give him almost the same initials as DD!

McKayz · 06/06/2012 17:47

I think I might start a girls thread now. This thread has been very interesting.
