Cyril

[AandWsMum]

It was my grandads name. Personally love it for DC3 if a boy.

My husbands suggestion is Roderick to be shortened to “Roddy”

We already have a boy & a girl - Alberto and Wilhelmina

Choice for a girl is Rosinah

Cyril, Horace and Myrtle. If they’re not best friends at school I’ll be so upset.

But Roderick Cyril is fine. What about Cecil?

Is your husband an Idlewild fan?

I'm laughing so much

Cyril is on. I prefer Cecil.

Roderick is lovely though b

Roderick Spode, though?

Alberto, Wilhelmina and Rosina(h) have a kind of hipster cool - plus "normal"/trendy nicknames in Al/Albie/Bertie, Willa/Billie/Mina and Rose/Rosie/Rosa if the kids decide the full versions sound too old-fashioned when they are older.

For this reason, I feel Cyril or Roderick are a bit "unfair" compared to his siblings names. I'd save them for middle names and pick something with similar retro/vintage style like Raymond (Ray), Leopold/Leonard (Leo, Leon), Edmund (Ed, Ned, Teddy) etc - something that gives him a choice of fashionable nn.

Or something with similar style to Alberto might be the lovely Orlando (Orry, Orly, Lando).

Nice one!

Have you ever seen The Raccoons?

OMG I've just put that I had a budgie called Myrtle and I swear we just lost a cockateil called Cyril. He was Sybil but turned out to be male. Now just need Basil and Iris for avian bingo!

Nice one, Cyril

Rosina is nicer than Rosinah
