merry - thatis how I always imagine Gregs to be like too. DH thinks of Gregory's Girl and Gregory Peck. He can't seem to move past that!

Gregory shortened to Greg. Mungo - no way

Edmund is a great name, that's my pick of your list.

If you like V names, how about Vincent? Was on my our shortlist and I still like it.

well can i suggest slapping him until he makes some sensible suggestions of his own??

noddyholder · 07/03/2009 22:37

Love edgar but it is my middle name so am biased!

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:37

my DH hated talking about names, which didn't help me as I'm a tad obsessive about it

just try to narrow it down to a few you can muse over so once baby comes you can see what he looks like

otherwise it could end in near divorce and violence like here

cyteen · 07/03/2009 22:40

Heh, my DP rubbished me when I suggested what became DS's name, then a few weeks later tried to claim that he'd come up with it himself!

mine too ladies, I desperately wanted DD3's name for DD2 but DH was having none of it and then announced when we were pregnant with DD3 that it had grown on him

I am not stressing about it but I do like to discuss if for fun (partly). I am sure we will come up with something by the time it comes out. As I said if it is a girl we already have several names we like so it should be easier...LOL

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:45

exactly!! although I need to have about another 6 kids to use up all the names I'm currently in love with

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:45

are you going to tell us your girls names Cece?

lockets I oddly don't feel the need to use our boys name for DD3 seeing as you used it, am quite satisfied with that

OK in no particular order,

Helen
Leah
Anna
Kate
Thea
Verity (DH says NO to this though)

I am sure there were some others but can't think of them at the moment! Should have written them down.
