Rafferty (Raffy)
Sebastian (Seb)
Albert (Albie)
Cormac
Connal (Conn)

Ds1 is Finlay but is mostly called Finn, that's why I suggested the nn's up there too!

This is about the 100th time I've changed my short list, still not absolutely sure on them just found them today!

I totally luuurve Sebastian. Albie is nice. The others are fine, apart from Rafferty, I don't know why, I just don't like the sound of it. Reminds me of like that bloke who did 'Baker Street', and not in a good way.

I also LOVE Sebastian, but I'm not allowed to use it I could be persuaded by Albert and Connal is ok.

Rafferty just sounds a bit dodgy to me, partly because it reminds me of Raffles the thief. Oh, and the raffish.

I like Rafferty. You don't hear it very often - I don't like the nn though, but I don't like nn's.

I think one of Sadie Frost's children is called Rafferty.

I love rafferty shorterned to raffy, i guess it will get shortened to raff - might end up being called riff raff at school though

with Finlay I would go for Rafferty (LOVE THIS NAME!) or Connal. Not keen on Sebastian myself and don't think it flows. Like Albert but not with Finn.

Sebastian

Rafferty sounds like the name of a teddy bear.

We have a Roly and a Ruby and a Raffy would be great for the next one .... unfortunately they are all springer spaniels!!!!!

Connal goes nicely with Finlay - that would be my choice.
