I. give. up - please name my third son.

[persephoneplum]

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! :)

Rupert,Tarquin or Crispin

or St John (pronounced Sinjin !!)

Hope these haven't been mentioned

Rory
Jago
Ivo
Tristram
Hugo

Blake
Blair
another for Rufus but I have an unusual pet with that name
I love Floyd DH not so keen
jareth
Everett
Flynn
and lachlan

Hamish. Angus. Jude. Alban. Finn. Fergus. Aidan. Arthur.

Robin.

Constantine
Horatio
Blase
Jared

Cole
Reuben
Lauchlan

Lysander or Oberon

Frank

Silas
Yuri
Stan
Herbie

(You have my vote for Kit too)

Rafe/Ralph

Kier

Apologies if they've been mentioned but for what they're worth:

Quinn
Morten
Murdo (great Scottish name that just didn't work for our ds)

Shulto
Munroe
Ethan

I like kit!

Also Max been suggested which is cute
I have an Archie and love the name. He is a Sweet little blonde boy.

We liked really traditional names so I am not much help - considered things like charlie and Henry and james. Archie was quite radical for us!!!

You guys are AMAZING!! Thanks so much!

Am loving Benedict (need all-kinds-of-awesome nickname though, that isn't Ben or Ned as we have close friends with sons called Ben and Ned).

Lots of other names aren't suitable because the last name starts with L and ends in 'ie' so we can't have Archie, Ari, Artie, or any L names for example. I do love Lysander but DH doesn't.

I love Arlo but not sure about having a Theo and an Arlo. Same for Max and Felix - too similar.

I'm going to make a shortlist from these amazing contributions and put them to him. I'll still be gunning for Kit - it really is perfect and honours my father. Christopher will be in the middle if we don't use Christopher/Kit for first.

Thank you all!
