I need to cheer myself up and focus on the positives after my 20 week scan yesterday (baby showed soft marker for Trisonomy 18)

We aren't thinking about that any more and are focusing on buying clothes and choosing names

I like
Felix
Milo
Cassius (not possible with surname)

I also like Jasper, Caspar, Silas, Rafferty and Asa but wouldn't actually choose them I don't think.

DH likes Jude and Finn.

Please feel free to make loads of suggestions .

DD is Madeleine and DS is Noah.

Love Finn and Jude .Finlay is my fave (NN Fin)
also Ellis,Elliott,Elijah,Isaac (Zac),Theo,Dion

I can't do Victor or Quentin- I just can't seem to get my head round them having a revivial. Tobias was considered poncey by DH .
Bella, that nymbler search was briliant, I might do it with Madeleine and Felix and take Noah out of the equation as it brings up too many biblical names.

Ooh the names that come up from Madeleine and Felix are interesting..........poncestastic .

Thanks so much for that idea Bella, will be playing on there a while.

Ooh glad it was useful Suwoo! I was trying to think of a way of saying "no more biblical names please"!

I love nymbler. Just need to have another child so I can legitimately play with it some more

Let us know if you find anything you and DH both like!

suwoo · 24/03/2009 12:13

Ooh Arthur. No doubt DH will hate it . Tis a family name too.

I have a Jude. It's a name which has grown on me since we used it. Has dignity, is I think sufficiently masculine, not millions and millions of them, doesn't feel self-onsciously trendy. Is a good name.

suwoo · 24/03/2009 12:21

Yep DH doesn't like Arthur.

Bella73 · 24/03/2009 12:27

DD2 has an Arturo in her nursery group, worth a shot?

suwoo · 24/03/2009 12:30

I expect that would get a NO!!!!!!!!!!!! via email like all the others I have emailed DH this morning.

Hi Suwoo. My DS3 had a trisonomy 18 soft marker too. A CPC. He is perfect, though. What marker did they get on the scan?

Like your names. Esp Casper and Fin.

Hi Dothis, I have another thread running here here. It was a CPC same as you.

DH has just said Arthur could be a grower and suggested Fred.

I love Jasper.

Bella73 · 24/03/2009 13:23

Ooh there's a Freddie at nursery and it has hugely grown on me as he is super cute. He is a Fredrik which I quite like (as opposed to Frederick). Also like Roderick (Roddy) but that's a bit Scottish maybe.

suwoo · 24/03/2009 13:29

Our cat is called Freddie though so suprised he has suggested it. We both like Dexter but Charlotte Church has nabbed it.

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 24/03/2009 14:03

Freddie reminds me of Jade Goody now. Or Freddie Boswell.

suwoo · 24/03/2009 14:08

You would say Freddie Boswell, with you being a scouser . I am quite taken with Arthur this minute.

OP posts:
MrsJoeMcIntyre · 24/03/2009 14:13

I'm still going with Jude.

suwoo · 24/03/2009 14:27

I'm not keen on Jude, tis DH's choice.

OP posts:
MrsJoeMcIntyre · 24/03/2009 14:28

Will think of some more in time for Baby Loves Disco and present you with a list.

suwoo · 24/03/2009 14:31

Good girl

LadyPinkofPinkerton · 24/03/2009 14:36

Felix, Milo and Jude are all lovely

suwoo · 24/03/2009 15:38

Any more suggestions??

OP posts:
chaya5738 · 24/03/2009 16:57

I like Finn and Felix. The suggestion of Reuven is also nice.
