Ideas for DS2 name (DS1 is Dominic)

20 replies

toja555 · 02/07/2010 15:01

Basically I don?t like any boy names (hence would prefer if it comes out a girl, but that is very unlikely ) and the options I have are just so-so or strange. I don?t like names ending ?an, -en and ?y. I would like a name that sounds rather European continental than only British, but again my mind is blank.

Me:
Justin
Martin
Arvid (a Scandinavian name, I have no idea how it came to my mind!!)
Johan (pronounce like Yo-han - none of us are German)

DH:
David (boring (?))

Please help!

David is a lovely name! not boring, just classic.

Justin is ok.

Martin feels a bit dated.

Johan would be mispronounced all the time!

Miles
Albert

I love the name Dominic! Had a very hot bf with that name so happy thoughts instantly come to mind . His equally delicous brothers were called Patrick (nn Tricky!) and Joseph. HTH

I also like Coffee's suggestions.

Re David, do you want 2 initial Ds in the household?

I like Justin. How about:

Victor
Conrad
Marcus
Arlo
Constantine

Love the name Dominic by the way.

I think all of Coffee's suggestions are good. Boys names we are considering/have considered:

Edward
Max
Daniel
Nicholas
Benjamin
Thomas

I think actually Miles would be a good match with Dominic as would Jacob. They seem to be in a similar vein.

Thissideofchannel · 02/07/2010 17:28

I like Dominic.

What about
Stefan
Quentin
Linus

Trucker · 02/07/2010 18:53

Marcus

mathanxiety · 02/07/2010 20:27

I like Justin, Arvid and Johan.

Suggestions:
Anthony
Jonas
Michael
Christopher
Alexander
Clement
Joseph
Benedict

I have a Dominic and my second DS is Gregory!

BridesheadRegardless · 04/07/2010 15:45

oh Gregory is fab and goes very well with Dominic. Choose that!

coffeefestival · 04/07/2010 16:38

Yes Gregory would go very well!

allbie · 04/07/2010 18:51

What about Sebastian? Goes with dominic, sort of.

champagnesupernova · 04/07/2010 18:58

I had a bf called Justin and can never get over the puerile joke his rugger bugger mates used to shout at us
"what do you call I guy with a small dick?" just-in.

just as a warning, sorry

toja555 · 05/07/2010 09:30

Thanks for your opinions, girls. There are some likeable options for sure, although at the moment nothing seems as good as Dominic. I must be crazy or hormonal, not too like any other name even from my shortlist! The girl would have been Silvia?
