Still in search of that elusive boy's name...

due date getting ever closer, and we are still undecided as to a name for dc4 - our first boy.

we think we have narrowed it down to:

Arthur- love this, but it doesn't lend itself to shortening/nicknames easily (other than Art/Artie which we are not keen on)

Rufus - dh reckons we shouldn't, as any child is unlikely to be red-headed (we are a bond-haired/blue eyed family). Possibly a bit too nicknamey/informal as well. don't know.

Caspar - maybe a bit too out there, and of course the friendly ghost issue. Not sure it goes well with our other dc.

Peregrine - would be known as Pippin/Pip. I love Pippin, not so keen on Peregrine - dh has decided he doesn't like Philip. Is there anything else that could shorten to Pippin?

Really like Arthur. I know a baby called Arthur, and it always seems such a lovely name.

The others I am not so keen on tbh.

I like Caspar and Quentin. Or how about Cassian?

Arthur is ok but I don't like Artie (mainly because the one I know gets called Artie Farty Blush).

Best of luck

Pippin... would you really do that to someone you loved? My nn is Pip and I love that for boys/girls/men/women... but Pippin?

Love Rufus, for all shades Smile.
