Our boy shortlist was:

Oscar
Alexander
Edward
George

I also really really like Florian and Fabian which are both fine in German but a bit flowery in English. Dh wouldn't countenance it.

RedLorryYellowLorry · 04/05/2007 19:27

I have Max George
if I had another ds I'd choose Noah, Theo or Finlay I think.

Washersaurus · 04/05/2007 19:28

Frogs - I also like Florian (I thought it was a French name) but DH banned it from our shortlist

EvilSmeillingBugger · 04/05/2007 19:28

DS1 - George Monty John
DS2 - Joseph Benjamin Samuel

I must stop reading this thread; my shortlist of names is getting longer and longer and longer

Rhydian David

Baby no 2 would have been Ioseff Steffan ....

Aloveheart · 04/05/2007 19:31

ds1 is Leo.

Idreamofdaleks · 04/05/2007 19:32

Dp's friend called his son Pharoah

podglet · 04/05/2007 19:45

DS is Ivan David - not sure how it would work in French though.

There are some lovely names on here

ABitSilly · 04/05/2007 19:45

Troutpout · 04/05/2007 20:39

kateyp : sorry for you little Hugo . Actually, that's my nephew's name, and he is a gorgeous little boy

thnaks again for all your nice ideas I really love Archie but it's too english for the french

Seth sounds too muh of Star Wars for me (the revenge of the sith ) but I realise it's quite popular ;)

So far DH is OK for Raphael and Emmanuel

about middle names, it's interesting to rea about yours. Tradition seems to be 2 in the UK. In France the tradition is more 2 more names, but I like to be different again and we have chosen Claude (my dad's name), then Jean (both our grand dad's, plus his godfather's name when will know who it is

My ds is named Kai and we love it

rabbleraiser · 04/05/2007 21:26

Maman, haven't read the whole thread, but Raphael is just fantastic. I love it, I love it.

LynetteScavo · 04/05/2007 21:29

I've known 2 Raphael's and they were both little scamps!

rabbleraiser · 04/05/2007 21:34

Yes, the name does conjure a little scamp, I'll admit. But surely an angelic scamp??

Will have to look for "scamp" in my dictionnary
but I suppose it's not very positive

I have had ? Alexander Wallace (deceased ? 33 wk sb)
And Ben (not Benjamin ? just Ben) Oliver ? both sound good in French I would think?.
Although neither of mine have French Surnames?.think opposite of left??then think cart before the horse?

lissielou · 04/05/2007 21:55

noah

NotanOtter · 04/05/2007 21:55

nearly called ds4 Raphael but kept hearing it so resisted

Ivor · 04/05/2007 21:56

Congratulations MamanFlo
My DS is Tyler David
Also liked Tristan, but that means noisy one, which I thought might be chancing it!

We couldn't decide so we took a list of about 5 names with us, then when DH was having his first cuddle he picked a name from the list he thought most suited the little bundle.

Enjoy
