1. Hugo. Lovely. So is Hugh. 2. Dashiell. Lovely too. Dash or Dashy sound so cute. 3. Raphael is okay as long it is spelt that way and not Rafael. I really do not like the butchering of classic names. It also seems a little feminine to me, maybe because I know two Raphaella's. Also Teenage Mutant Ninger Turtles. 4. Cillian sounds a bit like a medicine to me. Maybe penicillin? 5.Dexter reminds me of the Perfect Match Computer or the serial killer! This post has been edited by AlexandraI: 12/04/2012, 08:23 PM

I thought Rafael was legit too, I just prefer Raphael because it looks nicer and is how the ninja turtle spells it... Got lots to think about again - we might just end up drawing a name from a hat!

I'm sure it would be. I'd doubt BlondieBear/BelRowley would have spelt it Rafael if it was butchered (could be wrong though) But naming after the Turtles is pretty cool! How about Fox....?? Definitely should go with one from the list I gave you I have a baby name board full of similar names on my pinterest if you want to make it harder, lol!

I adore both Hugo and Raphael. They're two of my favourite names. The others aren't my style.

Not a fan of Fox either - dunno why, it just doesn't make me go 'yeah', if that makes sense! I will look at your pinterest board, I love your lists - and like I said, we've still got 10 weeks, and an extra 12 after the baby comes if we need it! We never thought of naming subsequent children when we picked DDs name, it's hard finding something to live up to its perfection (in my mind, anyway!)

Fair enough, just thought I'd put it out there. I know the feeling though, it definitely is hard to live up to the perfection-ness of the older sibling's names.
