Just for fun :) although there is a real baby, it's not the only idea!

DH and I struggling to think of a name for DS3 (!) it took us months and months to come up with DS2's name!

DS2 has pale colouring with red hair and freckles, and cute impish/elfy kind of features. DH has ridiculously strong genes so I suspect the same again. (DS1 has a different dad).

This is an avenue we haven't yet looked down in terms of naming themes and we are both fussy! So hit us with them.

Really lovely suggestions already (in particular Fergus, that is a great name!). How about Ruairi / Ruairidh (pronounced Rooo-ray), meaning Red King? This is my son’s name. I see Rory mentioned a few times, this is the anglicised form and has a different pronunciation.
