When I was pregnant with ds I only came up with one name, loved it, stuck with and prayed for a boy.

We're having another boy and have not managed to come up with one name between us that we both like. I have one that I quite like but dh hates and vice versa.

So come on pick me a name please before I lose the will to live.

Connortraceptive, my brother (31) is called Daniel and it is only ever shortened to Dan, which is lovely imo, my Mom would have beaten anyone who'd have dared to call him Danny! If you start the shortened name, then it will stick iykwim.

Don't mean to be rude but am just bookmarking my place on teh trhead. Am due around same time with another DS and have no clue for a name!

pleased that my other 2 are on here though

LaDiDaDi · 10/01/2008 19:18

Well i know that dp would never let me use it (Wilf) but I do rather like it.

Seth is nice too, not sure if that's been suggested.

MerlinsBeard · 10/01/2008 19:20

connor, i guess it depends where you are from as well. eg Hamish is quite a scottish sounding name (to me anyway i don't know its origins) and would sound realy odd if i called my child it (I am south manchester!)

pyjamagirl- I like Caleb too and it was the first brother to walk into the promised land so that sounds nice.

We've decided on Kaeden Michael which we absolutely LOVE and we call my bump it all the time which makes it more real.

Rhys is quite nice tho it's never occured to me until right this second.
