any thoughts?

Any name but Dorian!

Dorian makes me think of Dorian Gray.....so not necessarily a good association I suppose in that sense.

dorian makes me think that awful woman in birds of a feather(which i hated fwiw)

some lovely ones in the lists otherwise - have you got anywhere shortlisting to a few, p'raps3 of each and see what your little bundle looks like? we had to try ds1's name "on" for six days before we were sure...
