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)

John (proving very popular) and Percy, but could have been Percival, shortened to Percy. Not mentioned at all. Yet!

Grandfathers were:

Philip Claud Barclay (always called Pete though) Confused
and
Robert.

As I'm in my forties my Dad is called David and my partner's Dad is called Peter.

My uncle has Philip from my Grandad and my brother has David as a second name.

Mine are Malcom and Albert, DH's are Herbert and William. I always loved Bertie myself and thought my DS could be Bertie and it would encompass both Grandfathers Albert and Herbert but I went for Matthew in the end Grin
