Righteo, have name changed for this because I want to give my other DCs names and don't want people in RL to be able to identify me by them and read some of my other, more personal posts!

DH and myself have just discovered we're pregnant again, we thought we'd give it one last shot and if it happened it happened and if not no worries.

Well we're thrilled to pieces but a bit stuck on names! having 6DCS already we've used up a lot of our favourite names!

So far we have:
DS1, Archibald Edward (Archie) 16
DD1, Christabelle Edie Jocasta 15
DD2, Ottilie Violet Grace 11
DS2, Hamish Rupert 7
DD3, Antigone Lila Rae nearly 3
DD4, Flossie Isabella Rose 1

so does anyone have any wise suggestions? we quite like Fabrizia, Seraphina, Delphi, Yveline, Ivy, Regan, Kitty and Isolde and for DSs Xerxes, Apollo, Oberon (king of the fairies connotations though, maybe too cruel?) Caspian, Ptolemy, Horatio and Titus.
But none of these seem to REALLY grab us.

I like all your boy options, well, at least the first names. Not too keen on the girl's names. I also prefer Eugenie/ Eugenia tbh

I have a Talia beautiful name, we dropped the H

Just a quick word of thanks to everyone who suggested names back in april, babynumber7, now known as Adelphi Hero Isolde joined us on Tuesday weighing 4lb 3oz and only 3.5 weeks early! She came home on Thursday and has been subjected to many cuddles by her big siblings!

Thank you once again!

Many congratulations. Beautiful gorgeous names.
Classic, cultured and ticks all the right boxes.
She is destined to have a lovely life and is off to a great start with such a wonderful name. Well done to all of you. We need more children. Welcome to the world Adelphi Hero Isolde

dizzydixies · 22/08/2009 21:55

oh lovely news, congratulations and well done

florence2511 · 23/08/2009 10:38

I think the names you have chosen for all your children are lovely. I especially love Ottilie, Antigoine and Adelphi (congratulations by the way).

I just wish that my DH would agree to more romantic, mythical names.

We thought we were being original with our choice of name for our DD (Matilda) and were told by the anaesthetist that 3 others were born that week!!

I hope you have many more children and carry on the name theme.

Yeah. Okay.

MaggieLeo · 23/08/2009 12:01

I'm amazed that nobody you knew in rl showed up on the thread.

Will this be in The Times register BAs?

pixiestix · 23/08/2009 12:23

Congrats! Adelphi is gorgeous x

mumoverseas · 23/08/2009 14:16

congratulations, lovely name and goes well with all the others

settingsun · 23/08/2009 14:52

Why do people think op is a troll?

mumoverseas · 23/08/2009 15:34

think its because of the unusual names. Bit silly really, on that basis my late mother would have been a troll as myself and my DB's have unusual names

settingsun · 23/08/2009 16:01

Yes, I'm a fan of unusual names too. That must be the reason.
Congratulations, gorgeous name.

katiestar · 23/08/2009 17:17

Adelphi sounds too much like the name of a hotel.Everyone will think that's where she was conceived.
Ottilie the hun
Antigone - uncle stayed at home

I love Titus and would have chosen it myself. But was too scared it would be shortened to Tit

Congratulations, love the name, beautiful. Had to laugh at your first post though - I'm not the sure the name change to protect your identity would have made much difference - anyone with seven children named as yours are would be pretty hard to miss!!!

tracedw · 29/08/2009 21:46

Bathsheba

tracedw · 29/08/2009 22:03

Congratulations!
