What would it be. No one to disagree with you and as "out there" and brave as you wanted to go?

Tobias, Ezra or Caspar

septembersunshine · 22/03/2016 18:13

Daniel or Oscar or Felix

I would end up choosing Daniel for the nickname Dan/Danny... I recon

mrsmeerkat · 22/03/2016 18:17

I love Charlie but by hate Charles and wouldn't want to Christen one child with a nickname when the others have quite traditional names.

Aslak

That's been my name for my potential future son ever since I was a child. It was what my parents would have named me if I had been a boy and actually did call me for about ten minutes before they realised I was a girl

Bicnod · 22/03/2016 18:20

Benjamin or Douglas. Although DS2's middle name is Douglas so he might have something to say about that...

blueandgreendots · 22/03/2016 18:23

No one has said my favourite: Walter. Due in a month but don't know if it's a boy or a girl, so I could have a little Walt kicking me now :)

Peppaismyhomegirl · 22/03/2016 18:26

Hmmm I just don't love any, I love my eldest son's name and I can't think of one for this son. I done get the same feeling I do with any like I get with his? Maybe it's because he's here and it's him? Is this normal?

I got to pick my ds's names with careful manipulation Grin he's Tobias (Toby) Sören and I wouldn't change them though I also love Felix and Xander Smile

Pigeonpost · 22/03/2016 18:33

Wilf. In fact I'm not sure why we didn't call DS3 it.

Sprink · 22/03/2016 18:36

Beauregard.

Or Blade, but it doesn't go with our surname.

BeefLasagneForMyTea · 22/03/2016 18:53

Thomas

BatMobile · 22/03/2016 18:54

Heath.

Izzyathome · 22/03/2016 22:35

Angus or Archer.

mrssmith79 · 22/03/2016 22:37

Raich (obvs Horatio on the birth certificate).

CoffeeChocolateWine · 22/03/2016 22:38

I love the name Luke and always have done, but it doesn't go with our surname. So instead I would pick Jude or possibly Jonah if I could guarantee it wouldn't get shortened to Joe.

SingingSands · 22/03/2016 22:39

Billy. DH hates it. Too bad for him Grin

RockinHippy · 22/03/2016 22:40

Amos

UntilTheCowsComeHome · 22/03/2016 22:41

Deacon

Heard a little boy called this a few months back, it's lovely.

NationMcKinley · 22/03/2016 22:41

Oooooo. Amos. That's lovely. Two more for my suggestions are Seth and Aneurin

TheFallenMadonna · 22/03/2016 22:42

Alec

Comingfoccacia · 22/03/2016 22:46

Zahir

Peppa I have 3 boys. The name we gave DS1 was one we chose way before I was pregnant and we never once deviated from it. I love it so much. When I was pregnant with DS1 it got LOADS more complicated as we never had a back up name. The one we chose we both liked but didn't love. We get absolutely tons of compliment about it though and it goes brilliantly with DS1's name so they flow nicely iyswim. I love it now though and it suits him perfectly Smile.

It would be so much easier though if DH didn't have opinions Grin

Peppaismyhomegirl · 23/03/2016 07:05

Yes would be easier if he didn't have opinions! Especially as he says "yes I like that one" then a few days later when I call him that he says
"Hmmmm not sure anymore!"
give me strength!!
I've added Amos to the list,along with josiah, Caspar, Vaughan and Ezra

My favourites are Adam, Miles, Seth and Sebastian. According to dh they all sound like they are in a slightly posh indie rock band together! Sad. Ds was therefore called none of them!

Jai, pronounced jay.
