A brother for Artemisia

[ediepop]

Originally it was going to be Lucian...yep we are those parents. But we got cold feet and decided it was too wanky even for us. (I love Lucian to any Lucian owners, but we thought in combination with Artemisia, it was a bit...hmm)

So then, after much discussion, the only name we could agree on, was Milo. But we have now come across, not one, not two, but THREE dogs called Milo. Apparently it is in the top ten dog names in the UK. This has... put us off. And we don't like Miles.

Names I like, which DH has roundly rejected:

Tobias
Marcus
Sebastian
Casper
Silas
Felix

Anyone got any good suggestions, before we name our son this generation's equivalent of Rex?

I am 39+6 and getting a bit worried that we seem to have NO candidates. DH has been totally unable to come up with any suggestions.

Haven't RTFT but... Atlas? Possibly too similar to DD but I love it!

Was DD a huge baby with being overdue OP?

Kingsley
Lawrence
Jonty
Chester

Cuthbert
Cedric
Nelson
Columbus
Lawrence

She was big, just under 9lb, but it was totally fine. No stitches. I'm not worried about a big baby. I've read my Ina May Gaskin and am confident I can do it. Just don't want an induction and defintely don't want a section if I can possibly avoid it!

Best of luck for tomorrow & the birth OP.

Hopefully having him in your arms will make choosing a name easier. If not, you know where we are .

Good luck, and do report back, .

Aww thank you! I will definitely come back and update with his full name. DH is adamant that we shouldn't name DS till we've seen him. Although, last time I was off my tits on gas and air and would have probably gone for 'Tiny Monkey Face' or something similarly loony.

for everyone's fab suggestions. Even the taking the piss ones like 'Ptarmigan' which made me laugh. And 'Barry is a nice name for a baby'.

Fingers crossed for you OP. I refused an induction. I was referred to the consultant midwife for a good talking to but she agreed with me DS came a whole week later when even the consultant midwife was getting twitchy. All was fine.

I had two sections, it was fine. DS1 was 9lb 13 back to back and completely stuck. DS2 was same position and also expected to be big. In the end I had a section a week early and he was a tiddly 8lb 3. Hope all goes well and wee Barry Colin Ediepop arrives safe and well.

"Barry is a nice name for a baby"

Roar

at Barry Colin...or maybe Barry Ptarmigan. Good luck with the birth. C sections are heaven! I say this having done it both ways.

What about Eden?

Ere we go ere we go ere we go. Think I might not need that monitoring appointment

Yay!
Oh I'm all over goosebumps!

Ooh- tres excited now - come on Barry......... :o

Barry, Barry, Barry

Good luck! Come on, Barry!

Good luck ediepop, I hope all goes well

Barack Obama used to be called Barry, so how about Barack? Or possibly Barrington? Otherwise Trevelyan is a fabulous name. Shortened to Trevor.

Trevor!

If you call him Bartolome (with an accent which I don't know how to do on this keyboard) after Murillo, then you keep with a Baroque artists theme AND we get to call him Barry.

Ooh how exciting, hope all is progressing quickly and pain free

All the best, ediepop! Hope it's all going well.

Looking forward to finding out your decision.

Best of luck, Ediepop!
