Having finally settled on a name for DD we've just found out its a shy baby and is actually a DS Blush

I have a Fox and an Atticus already.

Whoa!! Those are long lists 😄 this might be easier than I thought!

Dd was going to be Eilidh, DH is suggesting we stick with that kind sound and go with Elias or Elijah... He's also floated Alucard Hmm

Love Rafe, but I'm not sure how it's actually spelt? I know a Ralph who gets called ralf instead of rafe (if that makes sense) raphe or just rafe and then there's no confusion?

Flowers thanks for all the suggestions

Elias is really nice, and I love Rafe. It can be spelt Ralph or Rafe but I think the latter is much clearer and just as legit.

SavoyCabbage · 15/03/2017 17:40

Or Raef.

Arlo
Lars

My nephew is a Rafe. I was surprised by the spelling at first but got used to it very quickly!

namechange20050 · 15/03/2017 17:53

Love fox & atticus! What about Dashiel?

Gaaaah · 15/03/2017 17:54

Jago?

ThoraGruntwhistle · 15/03/2017 17:56

Alucard? I really hope he's trying to be funny Confused

Rockaby · 15/03/2017 18:04

I know of a little Athelstan. They shorten it to Attie.

LouKout · 15/03/2017 18:07

Alucard sounds like a medicine.

Rockaby · 15/03/2017 18:21

Just realised Attie is probably a bit too much like Atticus!

Alucard is definitely a joke, I think he just likes to keep my blood pressure up!

I'm quite taken by rafe/raef/raphe also caleb is a nice sweet name.

Our Atticus often gets Atti so we will probably stay away from A names

Fitz

strawberrypenguin · 15/03/2017 21:38

How about Rufus?

SchnitzelVonCrumb · 15/03/2017 21:42

I love Rafe.

In New Zealand Ralph is only ever pronounced " Ralf" hence I would always spell Rafe... but I wouldn't in the UK

CakeRattleandRoll · 15/03/2017 23:27

Orson
Jarvis
Cosmo
Tycho
Erasmus
Troy

PatriciaHolm · 15/03/2017 23:31

I'm assuming he's a Hellsing fan...

Tobias? Nate/Nathaniel?

Gummibears · 16/03/2017 08:58

Love Atticus and Fox! How about

Quentin
Orson
Magnus

Twoevils · 16/03/2017 09:01

I know a Raife. Cute name.

meettherussians · 16/03/2017 09:33

Love your sons names OP. First thought was definitely an "o" name, Love Orson too or something with O ending- Milo perhaps? Congrats on 3 lovely boys, you'll be well taken care off forever!

MerryMarigold · 16/03/2017 09:37

Orson is great. Also love Otis wish I'd had the courage to use it.
