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)

My great uncles were Hubert and Derek

Woofsaidtheladybird · 16/11/2013 14:13

Thomas and Arthur.

I'm in my 40s too, so I'll give you FIL as Neil and my Dad is Hywel. I wouldn't put those names on anyone, but Arthur is my DS's second name. It would have been the first but his big sister's name sounds exactly the same but with an M at the front Smile

William and William.

My Great-Grandfathers were William, William, William, and John :o

DH's family have a similar lack of imagination, but in a different language - DH is [his name] the 4th, and his dad was sad we didn't call DS [unpronounceable and very old fashioned eastern european name] the fifth!
