DS4 due imminently.

We already have Rufus, Maxim (Max) and Ivo.

We’re a bit stumped this time! Names we like but don’t feel we can use include:

James — too many in the family/friend circle already
Jago — too close to Ivo?
Otto — ditto
Magnus — too close to Rufus and/or Maxim
Wilfrid (Wilf) — husband not too keen
Yann — bit too “continental”?
Henry — friend’s son
Dashiell — bit too “out there”?

We also quite like Samson... not 100% on it though.

Any more ideas or feedback please?

Otto no as not another one ending in o I think.

James is a gentle addition and always nice.

Wilf I like.

I'd add Louis or Luca.

Miles is sweet.

I really and truly do not like Samson, I'm afraid. Makes me think of Samsonite suitcases ...

I like Dashiell and love Samson, we had it on our list but had dds.

Also like Otis as suggested by previous posters.

Wow so many more responses! I really do appreciate it, less than 2 weeks to go now and we had names decided at this point with the other boys.

Some fab names suggested! I think we’re discounting anything with the same first initial and probably no O ending sounds, which is a shame as I really love that sound but it does sound a bit repetitive.

Front runners atm are probably Caspar, Dashiell, Tor (big put off by the dark web thing though!) and maayybe Jago despite the ending, and Samson.

I do love Kit but my sister has one. Our family is almost all boys!
