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)

Cyril and Donald.

Two Great-grandfathers were Miner and Hubert, and two great-great-grandfathers were Hiram and Thomas ... have now totally outed myself, but only to the family genealogist, aka my dad, so I think I'm safe!
