Niall. We really didn't like anything else and are now struggling to think of another boy's name in case this one's a boy! And I had no idea of the existence of bloody One Direction before I named him.

Chose Noah.

We have a Jack and a Toby... Also like Rory Smile

We have Max and Zac.

Liked Noah, Rory, Luke, Sam and Brodie.

Joseph. He's 14 now and it's suited him at every stage of his life so far.

He was going to be Ciaran, but when he was born it just wasn't 'his' name.

Loveyouthree · 10/12/2013 20:39

Adam.

He was Joshua until I was a about 23 weeks pregnant.

DramaAlpaca · 10/12/2013 20:44

Nice to see Rory is popular on this thread Smile. I have a Rory - I still absolutely love the name & he's 16 now.

We didn't consider anything else, he was Rory Joseph from the 20 week scan. Also, we'd already used up two other favourite names on DS1 & DS2!

pygmy · 10/12/2013 20:45

Hector, Finlay and Louis. Using Arthur, John and Felix as middle names.
Another boy would be Edgar Otto or Otto Edgar.

candycrushhater · 10/12/2013 20:48

Fraser.

Other choices were Euan or Ruaridh (roo-ray), but he just looked like a Fraser.

Samuel
Dd would have been Frederick

WhiteHairReally · 10/12/2013 21:50

Edmund (and yes, he's Ed now to everyone except the family, which he actually likes) Hugh and Guy. Did we have a thing about 'U' I'm now wondering, seeing those names lined up like that?

Ds is Ewan and this was a standout choice for him. We both agreed and had no other alternatives

DS2 - we shortlisted Aidan, Arthur, George and Felix. But we've decided he's going to be called Callum.

Also had Rory as a possible for DS2.
