We’re expecting DC2 in October, we already have a little boy called Travis. We have decided if it’s a girl she will be called Nancy. For a boy we both really love Ivan, just wondering others opinions on it?.

Ivan Nyman would be unfortunate. Ivan Alder would sound like I've an older etc.

Ivor Biggen.

Unfortunately Ivan has negative connections for me relating to people I knew but I love Evan which doesn’t so as you don’t have that problem it seems an excellent choice. Travis was a great choice and I love Nancy too

Names don’t have to match unless we are talking 1 called Jane and the other something long and fancy like serendipity. My personal dislike is all the same letter and very matchy matchy.
