skyeplusbump's baby name shortlist

[skyeplusbump]

Here's the shortlist of boys names I'm considering, my 23 month old daughters name is skye, help!!!

Arlo

Oscar

Pablo

Rupin

Tadhg

I think Arlo goes best with Skye. Oscar and Pablo are nice too. Rupin - never heard of it, not sure I like it, and I don't know how you pronouce 'Tadhg'?

IMVHO Rupin wil be forever misheard as Reuben and Tadhg will get, "Taaaaaaaadge ?"

I like Arlo.

Are you in the UK?

yep in the uk, tadhg is pronounced tea-g it means poet in irish, and rupin is sanskrit for handsome, but to be honest, i love arlo! i was just worried it was a bit 'out there' after my mums reaction ,thinking rupin as a middle name because i just love the idea of a baby ru! thanks for the feedback guys!!

oh, and im new to this... what is imvho? thanks!

Arlo. Or Oscar.

Never heard of Tadhg before but sounds lovely. Rupin is cute and Pablo is a great name - do you have Spanish connections?

Arlo - it's a fab name Though you will get a few non-plussed looks and 'is that a real name' comments. Mostly very positive though

imvho - It means
In My Very Honest Opinion

Arlo is my favourite name ever by the way. Husband wouldn't even consider it! Will persuade him next time hopefully!

Sorry, it's In My Very Humble Opinion, i.e. I didn't want to offend you!

I have a baby Roo

So how about

Reuben/Ruben
Rufus?

nope no spanish connections, just always liked the name!
im loving that pepole like Arlo!
i thought youd all think i was mad!
any advice on middle names, out of the list or new suggestions?! our surname is double barrelled, starts with a p...

i love reuben, but dp doesnt
might be able to convince him though!
thanks im so rubbish at web chat speak!

Out of your list I think Arlo Rupin works the best.

Arlo Oscar has that double vowel thing going on in the middle - a bit blurry.

Arlo Pablo is too many Os

Arlo Tadhg - hmmmmmm...not lovin the crazy spelling tbh.

I think Arlo is becoming quite popular now isn't it? I personally know 2 and have heard it a fair bit in the playground. Depends if that bothers you or not though

LowLevel, what you call crazy spelling is Irish spelling

Skye and Arlo sounds best together.

sorry, didn't mean to offend, I just meant that to non-celtic speakers it's a very difficult word to read.

sorry

Arlo or Oscar I think

forgiven

phew!

Arlo is my fave.

thanks everyone, im now pretty certain about Arlo! just discussing middle names with dp!
