First DS after 3DDs, with 5 weeks to go we have finally narrowed it down to 3 names.

Elliot
Matthew
Marcus

Surname is short one syllable and begins with R.

Which do you prefer?

only chose Matthew or Marcus if you honestly dont mind him being shortened to Matt or Marc!!

Matthew is a bit common, but it is youand your DH that are going to be the ones shouting it every day so dont be swayed by others!!

I dislike Elliot but have never managed to work out why - completely irrational.

thisisyesterday - you're welcome to ours

lockets - we are supposed to be heading south for weekend then over to Eire then up north to NI then home - not so sure all that time in the car on a road trip is beneficial but fingers crossed for an overnight improvement

sorry kitty!!!
