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.

Felix is the best!!! Love it
Also like Raphael (alternative to Rafferty?)
Arthur is fab
Leo
Dexter

Those (along with Noah!) were all on my short list for DS2

Felix is fab.
Hope all well with your little boy.x x

dizzydixies · 24/03/2009 20:04

can you have Cassian instead of Cassius or does that still not go with surname?

what about Nico
Saul
Reuben
Roan

dizzydixies · 24/03/2009 20:04

Noah or Jonah are nice too

EachPeachPearMum · 24/03/2009 20:28

Kester
Linus
Arlo
Milo
Cosmo
Arthur
Duncan
Benedict
Laurence

suwoo · 24/03/2009 21:05

Not heard of Cassian, would have to ponder that one, but yes would go. Surname has SS sound thats why Cassius is out.

Wilfred is my dads middle name and he HATES it, would not let me have Wilfred.

Friends DS is Saul and DH not keen on Reuben which I liked for DS1. I think Roan is too similar to Noah.

I am very strongly veering towards Arthur.

Arthur nn Art is fabulous

Sidge · 24/03/2009 21:30

Gregory?
Miles?
Sebastian?

suwoo · 24/03/2009 21:37

Had a very interesting experience on holiday with a french lad called Sebastian. Not keen on Gregory. Miles/Myles was on the list for DS1, don't like it as much this time around.

Seth
Patrick nn Patch
Caleb
Josh

suwoo · 24/03/2009 21:48

Mentioned further up the thread Seth is out as DH can't say TH and nothing scottish.

dizzydixies · 24/03/2009 21:48

sorry although I hadn't realised Seth Was scottish

FairLadyRantALot · 24/03/2009 21:55

Felix from your list
Finn from your dh's list (although I prefer Flynn , but than, I have a Flynn, so would, I suppose)

Christian/Christopher
Aaron
Eric
Tristan
Samuel

oh, and sorry to hear about the worrying news at the scan!

suwoo · 24/03/2009 21:57

Thanks fairlady.

Sorry to confuse you Dizzy, the scottish name I was referring too was Patrick

dizzydixies · 24/03/2009 21:57

RnB · 24/03/2009 21:58

surely seth is bliblcal?

NotanOtter · 24/03/2009 21:58

Suwoo

I think Felix

It goes nicely with your other two ( rather lovely) names

plus

doesn't it just sound like a sweet sweet little brother ?

suwoo · 24/03/2009 22:04

I have loved Felix for a few weeks, so why is Arthur luring me away?

Irish/scottish its all the same

I didn't know Seth was biblical. I always think of names like Elijah, Isiah and Abraham etc as being biblical.

NotanOtter · 24/03/2009 22:06

Arthur very very tempting I agree

Infact scrub felix

Arthur is actually less cutesy but somehow cuter

I have always been a fan

suwoo · 24/03/2009 22:12

You need to sell it to DH now NOA
