DS's second name will be David, and he gets our two surnames.

Wondering about first name Robert - have some reasons for calling DS that, and some reasons against.

Suggestions for similar names that would go with David?
We also like Richard but it's too much of a mouthful with David.

Seems like Robert is due a comeback.

Chinlo -not yet!! I'm quite enjoying having a classic but unusual name for my 15 month old Grin

You're a trend-setter, Bertbops.

We have a Bob here. Only ever had nice comments. Smile

Excellent, thanks everyone. Thinking of calling him Robbie to start with and we'll see if that morphs into Rob or Bobby or Bob later on.
