DH and I decided and stuck with the names we gave our 2 DS, with no shortlist - luckily their names suited them!

DS1 is Dexter
DS2 is Dawson

Elliott Thomas (ET....!!!!) Really suits him though.
Considered Louis and Hugo

Valentino, preceded by Alessandro, but his main name is Valentino, shortened to Tino.

Liked Gabriel, but decided to save Gabriela for a girl.

A second boy would have been Francisco Raphael (Frankie)

Henry Joseph. That was all we considered apart from Joseph Henry. Grin But when he was born it was clear he was Henry. And he is.

I do still love Joseph though. Also a big fan of:
Arthur
Gabriel
Cassius
John

Boys' names are easy!

Joseph Anthony

Though I really wanted Felix.

ThreeBecameFour · 13/12/2013 22:35

Theodore (Theo) Edward

we considered Felix, Leo, Ted, Ned
