Hi,
We've just found out we're expecting baby number 3, it's taken us a little by surprise as Ds1 has just had his first birthday and we were going to leave a bit more of a gap, but hey ho, we're over the moon!

The only problem, after a recent 9 months of deliberating (somewhat obsessively) over the perfect name, and chosing it, any other boys name feels a little rejected!

Our list so far...

Magnus
Hugo
Horatio
Lysander
Julius
Gerard
Archibald

And I'm really not sure on any of them.

Yes, they are a little 'public school' but Dd1 is at a prep school and Ds1 starts the prep nursery pretty soon, so baby 3 will be in that environment.

Our girl names are Tabitha, Perdita or Jemima.
Dd1 is Isabella Juliette and Ds1 is Arthur Benjamin...

Any suggestion on names of I may not have thought of would be greatly received.

Thank you Smile

Sicknspan, what about Murdo?

Sicknspan- Ivan is fantastic! Persevere with that one. The more I see Magnus in print, the more I fall in love with it!
Luckily it was a suggestion from DH.

I like so many of the names suggested, but I made the unfortunate error of marrying a wonderful manwith an annoying surname- which he would not let me 'fiddle' with.

It's a noun beginning with H and rhymes with mouse... so many of the pretty noun girl names sound like drug rehabilitation units, and some of the quirkier handsome boy names sound like Harry Potter style boarding dormitories.

Never heard of Struan- I quite like it...I can imagine him stalking deer in the scottish highlands!
