I called my two DSs my fantasy names as middle names - Jethro and Xavier - perfect coward's way out. But now I love the name Luca. What do you think? Don't be mean about the first 2 - dss have to live with them. Don't want to feel more guilty than I already do about parenting failures.

Basil
Bruno
Luca
... plus lots of really silly greek names....

gerasimos
aristides
constantine (not that silly)

I also like Ranulph...

Oh! and I like Murdo - although it needs to be said with a scottish accent. Thinking about names was one of my greatest joys when I was pregnant - I used to really enjoy the credits after a TV program or film.

And I like Winter. But since the baby will be born in May it's probably not a good idea!

There's a little boy at dd's nursery called Camillo which I absolutely love (and really suits him too). (DH vetoed this for ds - probably just as well, not sure if ds could carry it off )

oooh Camillo. That's lovely. Camilla was on our girls name list actually...........can't see DH agreeing to it but worth a try maybe!

And Felix I love. But DH doesn't really. Bah.

UpSinceCrapOClock · 29/04/2009 14:00

Oh please use Camillo - use it for me (you know, a random person on t'net that you've never met ) (Or at least suggest to DH and report back with reaction!)

I can tell you now his reaction is likely to look like this followed shortly by this followed by this when I start badgering him about it.
