So life is stressful right now. I'm heavily pregnant, will be moving house soon, have two kids at home on summer holidays and they're driving me nuts and now DH decides he doesn't like the names Jarvis or Kit. Plus it'll be 37 degrees on Tuesday.

Can you please name my third son? Pick just one name that you would think is absolutely perfect with his brother's names of Felix and Theodore.

Parameters:

  • Nothing in the top ten (I know Theo and Felix are popular in the UK - not so here in Australia)
  • looking for something quirky but familiar - nothing predictable like William or Sebastian
  • Use Jarvis and Kit as your guide

Just one name. If we end up going with it, I'll send you a present all the way from Australia. I have 8 weeks until baby son #3 is born - please help! :)

You still have a while, please don't panic. You have A LOT going on right now. Anyone would be stressed in yiur situation! Things will calm down once your DS's are back at school and you have more time to yourself.
Go with Kit, it's lovely and goes really well with your other DS's names (which I love). Your DH will come round once things have calmed down a bit.
Good luck.

Please. I didn't get to call either of my boys that and now it's too late.

I too think Kit is fab... DH being so difficult. I wish I could go into an induced coma right now until March, but you're right Ham, it will all pass. Bring on autumn :)

I quite like Rupert too.
