Hi,

We are expecting a boy and we are looking for name suggestions!! Our daughter is Dorothy Claire and we think baby boy’s middle name will be John, last name starts with M, two syllables.

Throw me some suggestions please :) thank you!!

Dorothy is a lovely name.
It was on my list and DH vetoed it.

I'm in the Walter/ Stanley/ Arthur camp.

Dorothy and Walter/Wilbur/Stanley

Not Tobias, Tony, Thomas etc unless you want them to end up being known as Toto...

Love Dorothy Claire, so pretty.

As for a boys' name, my immediate thought was Nicholas, not sure why! Henry would also be good.
