Baby boy number 3 sibling to August and Franklin. We were all set on a name then DH throws a spanner in the works

Top picks:
Henry Rafe
Peter Cillian

The other option for a middle name is too outing if I post it but we both love it and it goes with both names (Henry and Peter)

Very open to new ideas

I love Caspar, Raphael etc but DH isn't so keen...

I do agree with PPs that Henry and Peter are both a bit... "normal" compared with August and Franklin (great names btw!)

I think Rafe fits better. Or Caspar, Raphael, etc.

What about Levison , Peter is a bit dull compared with your others . My mum has a lovely creative name and her much younger sister is called Janice , when I said to my mum how different it was to hers she said it was because her sister was a mistake and her mother wasn't interested , bit sad really.

From your thread title I thought you meant changed his mind about having a baby for a minute! Grin

I love Casper.

You're probably a tad busy right now, but you will come back and update us, won't you op?!

Blurry picture I don't want to wake him. I went from 2cm to him being born in an hour. I also screamed "this is so unfair I wanted an epidural as he was coming out" I think he looks like a short necked rugby player. My smallest yet at 8lb

Will update when we fill the birth certificate I am leaning towards an R name.. Rafe, Rupert, Rufus

He is utterly lovely.

Oh wow, well done!

Rockaby · 13/05/2017 20:57

He's beautiful! Huge congratulations Flowers.

I think henry is boring compared to august and franklin. Peter is more unusual these days but still a bit plain. I wouldn't want to be third after the other two, like you ran out of more interesting names. How about cillian as first name ? Julius?

Oooh he's lovely. Sorry I missed the pic. Hmmm...R names. Roy, Reginald, Ronald, Ronan, Roni? Maybe not. Horace popped into my head for some reason.

Floellabella · 13/05/2017 22:51

Roman Peter or Rafe Peter would be lovely! (Think Henry Rafe has too many Rs). Love a family middle name. Congrats Flowers

EweAreHere · 13/05/2017 23:13

Reuben?

MarcelineQueen · 13/05/2017 23:17

Congratulations!!

Another vote for Ruben here. Ruben Peter works very well I think.

Enjoy Grin

He is precious! Rubus? Ruben? Rex? Rowan? He'll tell you himself in the morning!
