Arrival of DS3 is imminent and we are really struggling for a name.

Would another name starting with R be too much?

Open to all suggestions! :)

I love the name Rocco, I’ve heard of roscoe but seems similar to Rocco.

I would go for name with strong R sound, but not starting with R, cause both boys have R initial, but girl have I initial. I also suggest looking for I names or names containing EM sound, because both Iona and Rocco have O sound.

If you absolutely love a name starting with R, then I don't see an issue with using it as long as it sounds different from Rocco and Remy. But I think a different initial would be better.

Agree with pp Jago sounds good with you other names and has a similar energy.

Maybe an I?

I think 3 Rs is a bit much although Raphael or Rufus does go well

Otherwise I like suggestion of Jago

i think something traditional but due a revival to be ahead, a strong D would be good

Thanks so much for the suggestions, interesting to see that some on our shortlist have come up as well!

Leaning towards another one starting with I or a different vowel at the moment. Possibly Emil or Eli. I love Reuben but DH doesn't seem so keen. 39+5 now so time is running out 😝
