Right. We need a name for this baby - or some ideas that I can take downstairs to thrash out with his dad, at least.
Restrictions:
surname is two syllables and starts with R - although I like a lot of alliterative names, somehow they don't seem to work with R.
No "th" sounds because of local accent (including baby's dad and siblings - so Maffew and Feo are off the table!)
No hard "t" sounds in middle or at the end for same reason (Pee-uh, Rober' etc).
I like, but various people have been rude about:
Silas (redolent of silage/sinus, apparently - thanks for ruining that, drunk colleague)
Jonah/Jonas (teeth sucking, bad luck at sea - thank you MIL)
Ridley ( so cool but utterly utterly ridiculous with our surname)
Rudy (ditto)
Seth (issue with accent)
Given these ideas that we probably won't use, could any kind person please suggest something we might both like that avoids these stringent restrictions? Also, James is off the table as bro and sis in law have bagged it already.
Thanks!
