Marmeduke (Duke) - hahahahaha... perhaps not to everyone's taste!

You need a longish name with a short version don't you...

Max
George
Henry
Edward
Cosmo

hi madmissy[wave]
i like carter, but reuben was my fav when i had my boy.
i had short list of reuben, finley, roary

facebookaddict · 27/11/2009 20:40

Montgomery (Monty) - hmmm again not to everyone's taste!

But...What about Alexander (Xander, Lex, Alex)
-This was mine shortlisted for DC2 who ended up a DD and has a different name.

Tilly - psst over here Don't want to burst your bubble, but isn't Rudy a girl's name ? Loving the other names on your list btw

madmissy · 27/11/2009 20:56

I know a Rudy and he's a he but isn't demi moores dd Rudy too?

Perhaps it's unisex, like Rowan/Roan ? I do like it, but I would expect it to be a girl.

madmissy · 27/11/2009 21:10

Rowan/Roan thats a boys name isn't it?

Tillyscoutsmum · 27/11/2009 22:35

I like the name Rudy but think it would have to be Rudolph or Rudyard on the birth certificate (neither of which I'm totally keen on), so I suspect it may be out for that reason. I really couldn't call a christmas baby Rudolph could I ??

dizzydixies · 28/11/2009 08:18

Tilly we were going to have a Reuben known as Rudy if that helps at all - I'm not one for the rules re nicknames/shortenings though

BaronessBarbaraKingstanding · 28/11/2009 08:42

Gregory

Louis

Theodore

or Maximilian.

You want something grand, regal but not King of Englandy to go with your DD's names imo.

bellissima · 28/11/2009 08:46

Jerome

(and agree on Max (imilian).)
Rhett!

madmissy · 28/11/2009 09:06

I think I have talked hubby around a bit on Sebastian...

Maximillian is quite cool but don't think he will go for that.

The Scarlet & Isabel I already know IRL have a little brother named Michael (Biblical middle name, too).

homicidalmummymademincepies · 28/11/2009 09:14

I'd go for SebastiaN or Alexander

Think it needs to be quite a long name...

shockers · 28/11/2009 09:20

Max.

madmissy · 28/11/2009 09:20

i liked alexander as it was dh's fathers name and i think xander is nice but his son from previous marriage has that for a second name..

think i am favouring Sebastian at the moment

not keen on micheal bit too boring for me

OP posts:
shockers · 28/11/2009 09:22

Scarlette, Isabella and Max....

BaronessBarbaraKingstanding · 28/11/2009 09:40

Alexnader doe sfit the regal but not King of Englandy criteria, i think it's lovely and the family connection is nice too.

Does it matter if his brther has it as a middle name? Nice link for the brothers to share a name??

Sebastian is great too-one that I couldnt talk my Dh into though!

madmissy · 28/11/2009 09:44

dh just doesnt want to use a name that he chose with his ex wife and tbh neither do i

i think i may have got him around the idea but he likes it as Seb

i also like the max but our friend has a max...

OP posts:
BaronessBarbaraKingstanding · 28/11/2009 09:47

Fair enough.

Seb is geat though, classic yet unsual.

max/maximilian if fab (but I am biased!)

madmissy · 28/11/2009 17:02

Ok so max is a no dh knows too many lol and he's gone off sebastian... So back to carter, dexter and perhaps ashton... Oh and mason
