6 days to go - think this is now ' the one' we've finally settled on . What do you reckon ? And any preference on the middle names :
Idris Ezra Thomas .. ( then surname )
Idris Arlo Thomas ...
Idris Jack Thomas ...
( jack and thomas are family names we'd like to possibly carry through)
Thanks all !

I like Idris Jack Thomas the best Smile

bluewisteria · 08/06/2015 15:09

Idris Arlo Thomas
idris Jack Thomas

Not sure what your surname is but I prefer Thomas in the middle.

Love Idris!

Am I right in thinking there's a Welsh connection? If so I like Idris Jack please :)

ClementineAndCordelia · 08/06/2015 15:15

There is a Welsh connection yes :) surname is short, sharp 1 syllable. Lots of 'Jack' fans so far . We are getting somewhere ! Thanks

Idris Arlo Thomas is AMAZING! Keep Ezra in case you have another ds Wink

Lolimax · 08/06/2015 15:27

Hapus gyda Jack yma!

FoamyOne · 08/06/2015 15:47

Love Idris! As it's also the name of a Muslim prophet (so will travel well and widely), I'd avoid Ezra (also fab - save it, as suggested!) as the overall effect is very religious (unless that's what you are aiming for). I couldn't chose between Jack and Arlo. Good luck!

Don't love Idris but don't massively dislike it either. I actually quite like all three combinations although in reality I think very few people ever use their middle names so they're kind of irrelevant. Probably my favourite combo is Idris Ezra Thomas but if Jack is a family name I'd favour that.

Sophronia · 08/06/2015 18:55

Idris Jack Thomas

jorahmormont · 08/06/2015 18:57

Idris Jack Thomas is GORGEOUS! Ardderchog :)

Luciferbox · 08/06/2015 18:59

Idris Jack Thomas. Idris is potentially our DS2's name.

StayGoldPonyBoy · 08/06/2015 18:59

Idris Jack or Idris Arlo. Love the name Idris

CatsAreLikeChocolates · 08/06/2015 19:00

Another vote for Jack. Love it!

chocfireguard · 08/06/2015 20:02

Idris Ezra sounds very similar to Idris Elba...

ClementineAndCordelia · 09/06/2015 12:18

Yes that's what my worry was too ChocFireGuard!! Think we'll go for Idris Jack - seems to be the general consensus and will please my FIL no end :) thanks for your comments everyone ! Diolch pobyn !

I love Idris and would have had one if I had another chance! It is the name of the little dragon that Ivor the Engine carries around in his furnace (I also love Ivorxxxxxxxx)

Ivor Jack is best. Easier to say. Hope FIL suitably appreciative!

DayLillie · 09/06/2015 12:26

Sorry - Idris Jack - got carried away with my Ivors there Blush

PotteringAlong · 09/06/2015 12:27

I have an Idris! Love it!

TeresaGuidice · 09/06/2015 12:33

Love Idris but definitely not with Ezra
Idris Elba is pretty well known these days and it's just too similar , it was my first thought when I saw it.
Love all the other choices though
Good luck GrinGrin

JammyTodger · 09/06/2015 12:38

We loved Idris but went with Ivor in the end. Arlo was also on our list.

ClementineAndCordelia · 17/06/2015 20:59

4 days overdue now - still going for Idris we think. If anyone has got any last suggestions on the name combinations or just about the name itself , that would be great - thanks Smile

Isn't your 'Jack Thomas' your penis? (if you are a chap, obviously)

...or is it 'John Thomas'?

Bit close for comfort though, if you ask me Smile

Leaflitter · 20/06/2015 17:18

Love Idris.

Think Idris Thomas Jack flows best.

timelyreminder · 20/06/2015 17:27

Idris Arlo Thomas.

I don't like Jack, and Idris Ezra is a bit of a mouthful.

MsMessyandtheTidyBoys · 21/06/2015 15:55

Love Idris! Idris Jack is my favourite
