Looking for a name for DS2 due v soon. DS1 is Dylan Hugo (due to welsh connections and honouring grandparent), would like something that 'goes' and struggling to decide.

Options at top of list so far are:
Milo (Miles)
Archie (but not keen on Archibald, so not sure)
Charlie (but not keen on Charles, do you see a theme!)
Gus (Magnus, have family scandanavian connection as well).

Think we have the second name sorted, Ivan, after another grandparent, but scope to change that if needed.

Feeling thoroughly confused... And starting to worry we are running out of time. Thoughts, ideas appreciated.

I'm not suggesting you change your DS1's name or that you call him Hugo. Dylan is a popular name and people like it. I was just giving my opinion, which you didn't ask for, but I love the name Hugo (Huw is lovely but only if you're Welsh, otherwise use Hugh, which I also like - irrelevant as they have already used Hugo).

Milo is ok but seems a bit trendy and it makes me think of mealy. Miles sounds more classic.

Archie - I seem to know lots of dogs called Archie and it makes me think of an Emmerdale character, probably from when it was still called Emmerdale Farm.

Glad I made you chuckle. Very best of luck with the birth.

Dylan and Miles

Magnus out of your list. I like Miles as well, though I'm not so keen on Milo. But best of all would be calling him Ivan as his first name. Could you do that?
