Ds2 is going to be born in a matter of weeks and we really have not come up with a name that feels "right" yet.

Idealy I'd like a list of 5-10 names that I like and then pick a name from the list, but the problem is so far we have 2 names, neither of which feels like a definate yes.

The names are

-Frej (said "frey" in English, he is the norse got of fertility and fair weather)
-Ludo (we are focusing on it being latin for "to play" as me and dp met on a computor game so it would be fitting, also I think that a name connected to playing would be lovely for a child)

The names we like but can't use are

-Rowan - a close family memeber already has this name.
-Jasper - We live in Sweden and it would be pronounced yesperrr or yasperrr.
-rafferty - Dp doesn't like this name, I love it.
-Sylvester/sylvan - dp's ex is called Sylvia, he feels it would be like naming the baby after her.

Ds1 is called ELvin which means elf friend and 11th (he is the 11th grandchild and I called him elfie when he was in my tummy, he was very nearly called elfie)

Any ideas at all? This poor baby is going to be baby no name for a long time!

No suggestions, but Ludo is lovely.

I remember your thread from a couple of months back, OP. I think Frej is lovely and it's good that you're doing the 'say it out loud' thing. It definitely help make up your mind, I think.

Can't remember for the life of me what I said/suggested on your last thread, so apologies for any repeats!

Ludo - I love it. Would go for Ludovico, nn Ludo.
Rafferty - lovely! After labour, your DH will be MUCH more likely to go with your suggestions, so take advantage of that!
Soren
Ivar
Magnus
Caspar
Stellan (biased!)
Sigurjohn (pronounced Seeguryon, I think? Not sure though! Would use nn Ziggy)
Rufus
Ethan
Fabian
Finn
Kit (biased again!)
Luca
Nico
Quinn
Vigo

Good luck! Let us know what you decide. Smile
