middle name will be Douglas and I already have a DS...
Oliver Stephen

So this one will be either..
Leo Douglas
Ted Douglas (full name Edward for when he is older and needs a 'CV' name)

Our surname starts with D

Opinions please....

Laughed at this thread title, as ds and his best friend are called Leo and Ted. Both fab names but Ted is best with Edward for high days and holidays!

I do really like Leo, but keep having this thought that it is too similar to Ollie (which my DS gets called often) and people will think I have named them too closely...
DH says I am being pregnant and mad and they are not too alike at all... am I?

Leo - don't like Ted; leo is cute and I have never met one so you wouldn't be hearing it shouted out by every Tom, Dick and erm...Ted.

I can't imagine a newborn baby called Ted. Still, I guess he'd grow into it .. eventually

OverMyDeadBody · 07/02/2008 19:06

Ted

jasper · 07/02/2008 19:11

Ted but how about making it short for Theodore?!

NAB3wishesfor2008 · 07/02/2008 19:12

Leo

I don't think it is too like Ollie.

I heard abuot someone who named their sons Tim and Tom.
