3rd baby - likely to be a boy like the first two...Struggling to think of names!

Hi everyone. I've got two boys - Dexter and Theodore.

Problem is - they both have 2 middle names and baby number 3 - unplanned - is likely to be a boy as well due to DH family history. I used some of mine and my DH's favourite boys names on our first two kids. Philip, Michael, James and... Colin - all as middle names for my first two. We've not got a clue what to call another boy.

What do you all think goes with Dexter and Theodore?

Oliver - I know it's very popular but sounds nice along with your other names ????

I'm currently pregnant with DC3 after 2 DSs, both with 2 middle names. After several very disheartening disagreements about boy names, we agreed to park the conversation until we'd had the 20 week scan, and my advice to you is do the same. If it's a girl, you're off the hook. If it is a boy, you might get a feel for who he is as he grows and find yourselves drawn to a certain name... that's what I hoped, anyway!

Alternatively, DH has a cousin with a Dexter, and his two brothers are Travis and Nate. Any good?

Love both your names! I think Rupert goes really well with Dexter and Theodore. Alternatively, Raphe, Louie or Solomon?

Thank you all. It's lovely to hear what you all think as I'm getting no good vibes from baby name sites or books. I agree, with Raines so I will bookmark this thread and check back with it when it's confirmed. I'm liking Zachary so far but I'm not sure that I could name the baby it without thinking of zac dingle. Lol
