Hi all

DH and I have finally narrowed it down to 5 names. Middle name will either be William or Jack depending which first name we chose

Alexander
Adam
Thomas/Tommy
Timothy
Jonah. We know this is a bit of a marmite name. We both like Joe, but not too keen on Joseph and feel joe by itself is a bit "incomplete". I've loved Jonah for a few years now and it's really grown on DH.

Thanks in advance for any input :) x

Jonah is my favourite ... in theory BUT sadly I got too put off its meaning as a bringer of bad luck to use it myself for DC2.

Wikipedia explains:

A long-established expression among sailors uses the term "a Jonah" as meaning a person (either a sailor or a passenger) whose presence on board brings bad luck and endangers the ship. Later on, this meaning was extended to "a Jonah" referring to "a person who carries a jinx, one who will bring bad luck to any enterprise."
