Sorry if this has been done to death but I'm due to give birth to DS2 in 6 weeks and I still haven't fallen in love with a name. DS is Henry so I thought I might find inspiration from this.

Mine are:

John (DS' middle name) and
Arthur (I like this and think it goes but DH isn't keen)

DS is a James and has his dads grandads name as his middle name, so named after his 2 great grandads who meant an awful lot too us both, they both took over the father roles when we were children. Probably outed myself if anyone knows me in rl.
