Hi anyday now could have ds2.
Was trying to decide between Beau and Rocco and couldn't decide!!

Now I'm thinking between Beau,Rocco and Luke!

His big brother is called Ellis James.

Also does anyone know how easy it is to change my sons surname?He has my df's surname(which is awful)and I was wondering if I could add my surname infront?He's nearly 2.

Thanks mn's

What about Luka?

Luke is also fab though. Much prefer it to Rocco and Beau. Much much prefer!

Just needed to add to annasophia, I grew up in a German-speaking country and Luke was indeed very popular for a few years in the early 90s. Luca and Lukas/Lucas were common, too - but we definitely had a fair few little Swiss Lukes running around.

My son is Alexander Luke, so the other way around to what you are considering. I have never regretted my choice.
Wrt your question about changing a last name, my son had my last name,but when I married his father it was very straightforward to get another birth certificate drawn up because we were both named on the first certificate. I think it is harder if you marry someone other than the biological father of your child and then want to change names.

Surely its more important that the name will 'age well' with your DC rather than 'travel well', that is the strangest objection to a name I've ever heard of. Like a pp said, is it just European languages or should we account for how the Chinese are going to pronounce our DC's names, after all they are a formidible entity in world economics blardy blah.

My DS is Hayden Lucas, I like strong names and would chose Luke Alexander from your list.
