Oh no Jeremy is an awful name. Jem should be short for James.

I don't think of Roux as a name.

Me either.
People would be 'Roo? As in Kanga?'

Jem short for Jeremiah?

Is Jem really short for James. Does anyone know of any? I know a few Jems who are Jeremy's.
James has Jim, Jimmy, Jamie - quite a lot of 'short' names for a one syllable name.

Anne Shirley's first born son was a Jem/James.
Braxton Hicks... or the real deal? Knowing when it's time.

Anne Blythe I should say. I don't think PEI would have withstood the scandal of her sprogging before marriage.

Who's Anne Blythe? I think it's unusual, I've never heard of it.

I have a Rory, nickname 'Roo'. And it means 'Red King' to go with the ginger connection.

Anne of Green Gables, PEI is Prince Edward Island (I am having a sudden swoon of homesickness for a place I've never been! grin)

How about Red if you like Roux? Or Rue? Less saucy.

Looking for some suggestions for baby boy names. My eldest is called Sebastian--a name we always loved even before I was pregnant. I like it because Sebastian is traditional but not common; and Seb is cool and trendy. He can use either.
I love Theodore/ Theo for the same reason, but my friend's son who is a similar age to my son is called Theo. So then I thought of just short names. When I've searched on other threads, lots of suggestions have been for longer names like Sebastian, but maybe I'd like a short one to go with Seb. Then I thought of Kit, but my husband went off that one because he works in football. I like Rory but our surname begins with R (can you imagine if he had a lisp lol?) so we settled on Finn but someone we know called her newborn Finn literally this week. I've suggested Arlo, Hugo and Jude but my husband doesn't like any of them. Any other suggestions? TIA
