We are rapidly running out of time on DS's name and are no further forward than before he was born! I have nc as about to completely out myself :o
The 2 names we like at the moment are Theodore (Ted / Teddy / Theo as nn) or Josiah (Joss (y) or Jed as nn).
DD is Madeleine and our surname starts with a B ends in Y and is 2 syllables!
My worry with Theodore is that its too long / formal to use day to day and he would end up always being Ted. I like that DD is known as Madeleine at nursery etc but Maddie by friends/family.
DH likes that both names have a few different options with nn's so if DS doesn't like one he can choose.
Is Josiah too biblical - I wonder if Theodore is more widely accepted and would be less of a potential problem when hes a teen? But then I dislike the popularity of Theo - just how popular is it?
We've had some fairly negative reactions to Josiah from family which I think has put me off a bit.
What do you think of them? Any suggestions of alternatives?
