We are expecting our third baby in the next three weeks and still can't decide on what to call him...I have a son called Isaac Samuel and a daughter named Elizabeth (Betsy) Faith. Our surname is a bit of a problem as it is Looker! We have been considering these names:

Reuben
Eli
Oliver
George (as a middle name?)

Don't like Rueben amd its way too popular here.

Love Eli, wanted it for DS but DH vetoed biblical names.

Oliver is ok but not sure if it sounds right with Looker.

George is fab, why not have it as a first name? Might be slightly biased though as DS is George

Thinking George Eli Looker....

Eli is lovely

I share your panic - I have just over 4 weeks left and haven't decided

Good luck xxxxx

Oliver is a bit meh and popular.
George is an irrational hatred of mine.
Like Eli and Reuben very much!

Eli and Oliver both sound to 'LLLL' with the surname.

George goes best imho but I agree it sounds better as a middle name. Not fond of Reuben.

Somebody has a thread about Ellis at the moment - I like it!

My favourite by far is Oliver. Lovely name and was top of the list had DD been a boy.

Oliver George works very wel IMO.

Apologies for missing 'o' in earlier post. I am ill and have forgotten how to spell .

George "goes" best, but Eli is my favourite (and less popular, if that matter to you)

I don't like Reben

Reben ???? Reuben !!!
