We thought we were settled on a name, but now it's getting closer to the due date I'm wavering...
We had the name Francis, which I do like. It's not used too much, it's pretty classic and it's pretty versatile. It's DP's grandfather's name. In terms of nicknames, we were leaning towards Franco.
However:
- It doesn't feel very creative using a family name. DP never knew his grandfather.
- Franco may make people think we're closet fascists with its Spanish connections.
- MIL is making noises about using Franco when we're "not Italian" and favours Frankie, which I don't like.
- Francis has a very boring meaning: Frenchman.
We DO have a middle name - Jackson (any guesses what DP's name is? 
) It started off as a joke name but it's well and truly stuck. The surname is two syllables.
The name I really like is Felix. I like the meaning, the sound, its Latinness and I love cats.
So we could have:
Francis/Franco Jackson
Felix Jackson
Other suggestions are more than welcome! For the record, I don't like the old man chic names going around like Algernon or Bertie. I'm also not a fan of very traditional ten-a-penny boy's names. I am half Greek but I don't think I want to inflict Stavros or the like on my kid (though I do like ancient greek names).
Thank you!
