Im due ds2 at the end on april, and me and dp cant decide on a name. I like the older names like Jack, but everyones called that, and Jake, Oliver, Josh, and have a son (3yrs) called Alex. But dp isnt his dad, so had no say in his name.
Dp likes 'wierd' names like Sole (no, its a baby, not a fish dp!), and Chester (dog), and the only name we can remotely agree on is Dylan, but family members have commented that maybe its a bit 'common', and in chavish (please dont shout at me for using that word, I cant think of another that would explain what I mean).
So, is it?

Daniel is nice. Would he accept Danny or Denny as an alternative - and could you live with either of those?

I still don't think that Dylan is chavvy btw!

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:11

We both did agree on Finlay at one point, but it absolutely would not go with dps surname - its bullying quality.

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:13

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:15

we have 2 kyle's and 2 courtneys in one class. Had 2 holly's one year and a few years ago 4 Sophie's ... it didn't make much difference really!

dinny · 18/03/2008 19:22

it just can't be Sole, it must be Sol or Saul, SURELY???

yuk, Flynn is horrible (IMO)

how about Finn?

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:25

lol Sole is what he said. Hes a twerp.

OP posts:
dinny · 18/03/2008 19:26

I'm sure he means Sol, they sound almost the same

as in Sol Campbell

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:28

dinny, you crazy lady, hes saying Soul. Hes probably made it up.

WinkyWinkola · 18/03/2008 19:29

Dylan is great. Really nice name.

Or Solomon and you could shorten it to Sol or Solly. That's cute, very Jewish but I can't help it!

dinny · 18/03/2008 19:40

lol, Flub, Ok Ok, I believe you now!

he's a crazy man! SOUL!

what is your ds1 called?

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 18/03/2008 19:41

Dylan is a lovely name. I don't think its chav at all.

Heated · 18/03/2008 19:41

Not Dylan imo.

Like Jack. Could use John and nn Jack, Jonty, Johnny..

Youcannotbeserious · 18/03/2008 19:46

TMMB - I do!

I'm afraid I have a few names selected for my DS and, should Kerry Katona choose one of them, it'll be immediately off the list... Sorry, but it will be.

I like Harry, Freddie and Charlie...

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:46

ds1 is called Alexander, but we only call him Alex.

OP posts:
dinny · 18/03/2008 19:46

JONTY? Noooooooooo, please, no

dinny · 18/03/2008 19:47

how about Jacob?

Flubdub · 18/03/2008 19:48

I like Jake, dp says no.
He says its the 21st century, and all my names are old - hence Sole (prat).

OP posts:
eekamoose · 18/03/2008 19:53

Do you think for Sole he actually meant Saul? Quite like Saul actually. Don't call him Oliver, there are zillions of them already!

BreeVanDerCampLGJ · 18/03/2008 19:53

How about Hugh ??

But you need to be careful about your surname. Because his friends will go through a phase of calling him Huge.

Now if your surname is Wilkinson, he could end up known as Huge Willy.

Infantile

Dylan is nice but quite popular at the mo. But then there are lots of Jacks too . Your DH's choices are def weird - is he saying them to wind you up?
My faves at the mo are Felix, Jesse, Lewis and Milo.
