Hi all,
Have posted before asking for a name for DS2 (due in 2 months, panic panic, the pain of labour is starting to come back to haunt me ). Just a bit of background - we are a mixed race couple so DCs will have a Chinese middle name, therefore first name has to be relatively 'simple' as middle name will be two syllabus. Also, last name is two syllabus, ends with '-ley'. Wanted Atticus for DS1 but he ended up as Aidan. Have to admit, it suits DS1 very well. Have been very keen on Dashiell for DS2 but DH not keen at all.
So been really stuck for ideas. Last couple of days, had a flash of inspiration and now really loving Theodore. Always liked Theo but think that's too informal, will be great for nn. Also, I have to say I love the nn 'Teddy' for when DS2 is little.
Aidan and Theodore look and sound nice together too. I haven't given up on Dashiell completely, I think Dash as a nn is so cool. Almost everyone at work prefers Theodore over Dashiell? Opinions anyone?
If you slam both names, at least give me some other ideas. Did like Elliot and Ethan but too popular for my liking now (would like something out of Top 50 at least!). Also really like literary names (i.e. Beckett, Auden, Tennyson, Darcy, Elliot falls under the same category...) but haven't found one that works for us yet, or rather, I am brave enough to consider yet. Thanks!
