Why don't you call him Asa Rufus? Then if you really regret not using rufus you can change your mind! I know loads of people go go by their middle names, some decided as an adult but I know two who's parents just decided to switch them round when they were babies.

TeaAndCakeOrDeath · 08/10/2013 18:16

I know this will be of very little use in helping you decide but I had to post to say I LOVE Sorren wonders if I can talk DP into DC3

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 08/10/2013 20:24

Digby?

I love Torin, Asa and Jude

I love your DDs names to. You have great name taste and for what it's worth I didn't see your other thread but i don't like Rufus I much prefer the others Grin

FortyFacedFuckers · 08/10/2013 20:29

Sorry other DCs not DDs

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 08/10/2013 20:39

Thankyou Grin

Torin is lovely, as Is Taliesen Smile

kelda · 08/10/2013 20:43

I know a boy called Roman.

dimdommilpot · 08/10/2013 20:49

If dc2 is a boy he will be Asa Jude or Arlo Jude (i think) so Asa gets my vote as you have an Arlo.

Ham69 · 08/10/2013 20:57

I love Caspar, Wilbur and Taliesen and think they go really well with your other DC.
Not keen on Kip but love Kit.

Skye, Arlo and Kit.

maishoffwcingras · 08/10/2013 22:35

Caspar - not keen
Oisin - love
Pip - really like but more of a nickname
Errol - cute
Torin - no
Idris- love
Asa - not for me
Jude - like
Wilbur (Bertie) - cute
Phineas - no
Emery - no
Oswin - no
Kip - yes
Taliesin - ok but bit of a mouthful
Sorren - no, makes me think of malt loaf sorry

favourites are: Oisin, Idris & Wilbur

Rotterwallah · 08/10/2013 22:42

Doesn't Soren only have one r?

I think Caspar goes best with your others if that's a consideration

BadCopNoDonut · 08/10/2013 22:48

Digby or Jude.

Or Digby Jude.

There, done!

WeightyKaty · 08/10/2013 22:51

Idtris and Asa are on my list Smile

sparklechops · 08/10/2013 22:57

Love Jude. It goes really well with your other DC's names.

baskingseals · 08/10/2013 23:02

What about Jocelyn?

Joss is very cool.

LillyNotOfTheValley · 09/10/2013 00:33

1- Soren (with only one "r", Scandinavian spelling), unusual and strong. Soren Jude is great imo.
2- Caspar with mn Oisin (am biased but same comment). DH has Kaz as a nn, finds it pretty cool. He used to go by Zak when a lot younger and fun
3- Phineas, you could use Finn also that way. (Skye, Arlo and Finn sound great together).

LillyNotOfTheValley · 09/10/2013 00:54

Light bulb moment OP after reading your other thread: why do not you use Caspar and find a mn starting with "U" (easier said than done, I know). You would get your "Ru" that way! Smile

emmyloo2 · 09/10/2013 08:09

Not having read your other thread, please use Rufus! It's truly fabulous.

But if you can't: I love Errol, Wilbur and Jude. Someone also mentioned Otis which is fantastic. I love these types of names and would have named my son something along these lines but for DH and his boring taste.

Caspar is also nice...

pygmy · 09/10/2013 09:12

Phineas nn Finn. For sure.

EasyCompadre · 09/10/2013 09:49

It's got to be either Caspar Jude or Taliesin Caspar... Wonderful names, you have great taste!

ChippingInNeedsSleepAndCoffee · 09/10/2013 09:55

For the love of all things fluffy. You can use Rufus. Once you have this baby and stop being a hormal mess you will see that is it Not A Problem and regret not using it. Those of us who aren't about to drop speak sense. Use Rufus.

BlueStarsAtNight · 09/10/2013 11:45

I love Otis and Jude, and like Caspar. I think you should add Rex to the list, Skye, Arlo and Rex sound fab! (and he'd end up being Rexy-roo.....then roo :) )
