DS is named Alexander, Alex for short.
We chose it for many reasons - because it's a classic name (DH likes very traditional names), it has loads of possible nicknames - none of which I hate - that he can use if he wishes when he's older, it's pretty much impossible to spell wrong and it's an ageless name - fine for a baby and a grown up. Plus, it doesn't start with a L, which our surname does.
We're now expecting a little girl.
Once again, I'm suggesting all the names and DH is just saying "No" to everything I suggest while not suggesting anything of his own. So I thought - why not ask Mumsnet
We want another classic, traditional name. I like Catherine - it's another greek name, with a whole host of nicknames (katie, kitty etc) and is easy to spell) but DH isn't too keen cause he has problems pronouncing 'th' (completely down to laziness BTW, he can do it if he tries)
We also need a vaguely Irish middle name (DH's Dad likes to think he's Irish) but I'm happy to ignore FIL's pressure if I can't find one I like.
Help me come up with some alternatives for him, I'm fed up of doing this on my own!...
