Please.
Really struggling to name ds2
What do you think of these? Any you prefer or really dislike? Ds1 is F inlay surname begins with A (5letters ).

Kai
Reuben
Lewis
William
Rory

Possibly John as mn but don't like it with Kai or Rory think they need a longer mn.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Dislike Reuben and Lewis.

Edward
Kit
Otto
Lucas

DitzyDonkey · 17/08/2014 20:01

Rory

MrsBungle · 17/08/2014 20:01

I like Lewis and Reuben.

DessieLou · 17/08/2014 20:31

Rory, definately!

Mumof3xox · 17/08/2014 20:32

Love Rory

Sophronia · 17/08/2014 20:35

I like William and Reuben.

DramaAlpaca · 17/08/2014 20:35

Rory and Lewis both go really well with your other DS's name.

I think John would be perfect as a middle name for either of them.

lornemalvo · 17/08/2014 20:41

I really like Rory and quite like William.

I dislike the others particularly Kai.

SweetPeaPods · 17/08/2014 21:58

Interesting lots of mixed opinion. Why do I find this so difficult ?!

Rory goes best with your DS's name. I also like William.

Mrsjinglejangle · 17/08/2014 22:07

William is the nicest by far especially with Bill as nn
Rory is ok
Dislike the rest

Mrsjinglejangle · 17/08/2014 22:09

Sorry missed Lewis altogether when first reading your post that's ok too probably goes best with your ds1 name

CountBapula · 17/08/2014 22:12

My friend's DS2 has the same name as your DS1. Her other DS is called Max.

I like all your suggestions except Kai and Lewis.

Clarabum · 17/08/2014 22:18

Rory is lovely. Lewis is nice but overused ( i have one and it's all I ever hear)
I really dislike Kai. It's an alsatian's name in my opinion. Sorry.
Your son's name is lovely and Rory would compliment it.

dontevenblink · 17/08/2014 23:46

Like William and Rory from your list (but I really like traditional names). Kai means food in Maori here in NZ, so just reminds me of that, sorry!

Onesleeptillwembley · 18/08/2014 00:24

Kai is hideous. The Rooneys chose it. Think that would be enough to downgrade even a decent name.
The others are fine.

SweetPeaPods · 18/08/2014 08:53

Didn't realise the Rooneys have a Kai.
Like Rory but really not sure on mn not sure John is long enough?

Rory

SweetPeaPods · 20/08/2014 16:41

Now also considering Ruairi.
I have also liked it but think it must be growing on DH
