I'd like DC3 name to work well with other DC names if possible, which are Grace and Felix. We know it's a boy so which from our list do you think works best? Or something else? Thanks Smile

Archie
Arlo
Louis
Monty
Jem (just Jem)
Rowan

Arlo

I think Monty works best from your list.

How about Jasper?

Louis

Grace, Felix & Arlo. Lovely combo.

Wilhelminaaa · 14/07/2017 19:38

Certain names make me think of certain colours...

Felix and Grace are (coincidentally!) both an orange in my head, so from your list I'd choose Rowan, as in my mind that's a dark brown/orange/red.

I know, a bit of an odd way to choose.

nowyersuckindiesel · 14/07/2017 19:41

Arlo works best with your names.

TurquoiseOwl · 14/07/2017 19:44

Louis is my favourite from your list.

I absolutely love Grace Smile

Enidblyton1 · 14/07/2017 19:47

Arlo, Monty or Rowan.

auntym · 14/07/2017 19:55

How interesting Wilhelminaaa, love that! Thanks all for comments so far. Couldn't pick Jasper as a friend's child is called that.

Arlo

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 14/07/2017 20:18

Arlo

trinitybleu · 14/07/2017 20:19

Jem. Grace, Felix and Jem.

Joinourclub · 14/07/2017 20:21

Arlo or Monty.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/07/2017 20:22

Arlo goes best, but Louis is my personal favourite.

Sophronia · 14/07/2017 20:55

Louis works best.

Redpramlady · 14/07/2017 20:59

Arlo works best imo

Jooni · 14/07/2017 21:03

I think Louis fits best, but all work well IMO. Great list OP!

auntym · 14/07/2017 23:16

Rowan goes best. Arlo/Louis is ok but not as strong a name as Grace and Felix. Rowan, two syllables, not too usual. I like it.

TrainedGiant · 15/07/2017 07:26

Grace An she Felix are classic names, timeless and historic. Arlo and Jem are the opposite of all that. Steer clear. Arlo in particular is a fad and will date v quickly.

I think Louis goes v well.

Yorke00 · 15/07/2017 07:36

Be aware that Arlo is a hipster name which will date badly, whilst your other names are classic.

MammieBear · 15/07/2017 10:22

I'd say Louis classic and timeless like Grace and Felix

auntym · 15/07/2017 12:46

Thanks everyone so far, your comments are really helpful. I wondered whether Arlo may be "of the moment" so that's interesting that two people have said they feel that too.

Louis. Or Monty. I don't like Arlo, for some reason.

PicaPauAmarelo · 15/07/2017 12:50

I like Louis and Rowan
