Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

We found out today we are having another little boy
 DS is Edgar George. We like unusual, but traditional, names. No J or C names please, or names ending in S. Surname is long (5 syllables) and Greek. Our short list for DS was Edgar, Sidney and Henry (although Henry is too popular for our liking). This time I'm liking Harvey as well. Middle name will be a family name, either Lewis, Jacob, Harmen or Cornelis. WDYT? Any combinations jumping out at you? Any other first name suggestions? Thanks! |

I like Henry and Harvey both. Henry is rather popular but still classic IMO.
Ambrose I saw mentioned by the 7 Dwarfs, and I do like it very much. Other old-fashioned names I like: Gareth Tristan Kingsley Peregrine Alastair/Alasdair Lysander/Leander Hugh Leon Gideon, Gabriel |

I had Leo on my list for DS and DH vetoed it, I'd say the same would go for Leopold  QUOTE (la di dah @ 19/12/2012, 09:32 PM) I like Henry and Harvey both.

There'll be repeats here but here goes (your MN's seem like they fit most):
Sidney Cornelis Harvey Cornelis (but Cornelis ends in 's'. Ditto Lewis. Does that matter?) Alfred Eugene Gustav Gideon Ira Leroy Albert Humphrey Gilroy Herbert Clifford Mungo Montague Montgomery Wilfred Wilbur Wesley Warwick Roderick Duncan Stanley Harley Hubert Rupert Percy/Percival Roland Gilbert Desmond Frederick Eric Bernard Abraham Victor Vincent Leonard Douglas Dougal Bertrand Bartholomew/Bart Murray Ralph This post has been edited by Gudrun: 19/12/2012, 09:50 PM |

I love your DS name!! Sidney and Henry are also wonderful. You have great taste.
Winston Stellan Willem Desmond Hector Rupert Augustin Julien Quentin Vaughn Philip I think Rupert is fantastic with Edgar. Goes well with Harmen and Cornelis IMO. This post has been edited by emlis22: 20/12/2012, 08:16 AM |
